Only post in this thread we are talking now if you are experiencing no problems & are pleased with the change or think mobs should hit a bit more frequently than they do post change.

Well, as a level 17 monk I can now solo "risky" dark blue cons without having full life and mend up, so it seems to be working for me.

Now, here is the question, is it too easy, a touch tough or "just right".

now I wish I had /log on before the change so I could compare.

thanks for the info Aeo, and NotInventedHere that gives me hope.

Well, from the handful of mobs I've fought so far they seem to, on average, do about 1-2 bubbles of damage to me. This seems to me to be about what it was like in the old days, but that's just anecdotal.

a 50 ogre warrior, in "normal" gear vs a 37 zol gets taken to ~35-40% life. That same warrior gets owned by a BTG.

Before the change, that 50 warrior would be dead and the zol would be at roughly ~50% life.

Yeah this is waaaay better Aeolwind. Definitely feeling more like live but not broken, but obviously haven't had a ton of time to test it (and I play a mage). But, a mob half my level actually missed me a few times, and a brown bear couldn't even hit me, which is nice.

The change I made was fairly drastic and I have some tweak room still. I'm still looking for my old parses, I'd found conclusive information on hit rates way back when but I can't find them now. I'm betting they are on my old PC Cowboy2, but omg the noises it makes.
