Melee damage

[Convict]

i think the rate seems very classic when fighting even con + mobs but i do recall being able to land hits more often on blues, light blues and greens

i have no evidence of course, which is very necessary to make any changes ;/

Eh... haven't really got enough evidence to prove much, but my level 14 ranger can't melee for shit. I'm pretty sure I couldn't solo a low blue mob if I tried. It doesn't seem significantly different from p99, though, and I don't think it's far from how it was back then. Just the hit rate seems kinda low. Pretty sure my ranger does less than 1 DPS on average, no joke. Killing a blue mob (with my cleric healing) routinely takes minutes of just swinging and swinging.

Sounds absolutely classic. Melee damage output WAS horrible until you got really decent weapons.

Btw I guess OP was talking about melee damage in PvP. Melee damage against NPCs should be exactly the same as on P99 and I don't think it requires any beta testing (devs might correct me here)?

Hit rate is terrible, warriors will be totally useless for pvp and even holding aggro in pve groups unless this is resolved before release. I heard for 2 or 3 nights in a row where xant would hit maybe 2-3 times out of 10 swings.

Warriors don't seem to be useless on Blue99.

i got my ranger to nearly 30 before I stopped playing, and the damage was terrible. I was using 2x Gladius from Unrest rare spawn, hitting for about 14-15, and missing a fuckton.

pve, related, I have a level 12 warrior with max taunt and he cannot take aggro from anyone. If my bud's equal level SK casts one spell I literally cannot get the aggro back on myself and have to stand there smashing taunt with full hp as I watch his go down

also bash misses all the fucking time how am i supposed to interrupt all these people trying to gate out on me

I think (but this is pure speculation) that the current melee hit/miss ratio's and damage averages are based off of p99. If this is true, things are scaled down to compensate for how powerful melee are due to Kunark loot/level 60 cap.

This is just my tinfoil hat theory though.
