Game Mechanics: Half-Ass Hits

[Intricus]

My level 48 SK is using a Mith 2 hander (22 damage), yet is still landing very crappy melee hits quite often...hits for 1 point of damage, 4 points of damage, 6 points of damage, etc, etc....and this is on light blue-dark blue mobs I'm talkin....
I don't ever remember doing this shitty with melee damage on blue cons back on live EQ, and never remember this being much of an issue on here. I usually fight specs, and have not noticed this till recently. Anyone else been noticing a change in their melee damage? Same thing is happening with my monk, i'll post some screenies sometime in the near future
