this was my thoughts, but the average damage was just about the same. This time the ratio was way off too. I did use the same axe, same armor and same charm. I don't think the ratio does much of anything as far as making you crit more often or higher. I think the ratio is not something that optimizes your weapon the way we think. I think with axes, you can go pure str, pure dex or 50/50 and you'll get roughly the same benefit. So whatever has the highest stats, use it with axes to increase your damage. You'll also notice that in the first post, I had more total stats then this last one, I would say that is the difference in the few points of average damage between all 3 s/s.

yeap, that would again back up the 'power' theory. but don't sell out your axes just now since this won't be the case for long.

well, SHOULDN'T be the case for long

this is what's weird though, it's working excactly like Njag told us it would work so it's not a coding error.

I have a feeling this might not go away that easily.

I had the same conclusion... and when it comes to faster killing speed, pure str or dex for axes maybe better then ratio for more critical strikes.

Then there is no point in the BASE weapon damage of EACH weapon category?

Axe DMG + Stat + Ratio = less dmg than all other weapons that are not 50/50

75/25 ratio = pure str over ratio
25/75 ratio = pure dex over ratio
90/10 ratio = pure str over ratio
10/90 ratio = pure dex over ratio

Concur... I had said the same in a previous thread about weapons + character class based on this update.

The so-called "Hitpower" formula needs to be identical, and the "Critical Hit Ratio" should be MORE DOMINANT.

I have attacked the same monster and dealt 3 Critical hits:
1. 256
2. 956
3. 354

my average damage was 571... so why should there be a critical hit dealing lower damage than my average?
Just my opinion around that... Note: my max damage at the time time 1239

Difference is that Swords will be best for Pally, Daggers will be best for Ninja and Monk etc

We need to get more weapons than what we are used to.

246 ee lvl 55 axe for 10k, lmk m8

There was allways criticals lower then your average, that's what using swords is like.

2.5 times the damage is alot when the base number is 1,000 but not alot when the base number is 100 that's whats up.

Maybe it is just me... I would like to see some other benefit...

1. Stun effect (great execution of attack dealing 0.25 extra damage) = delays opponent by 1 sec
2. Bleed effect (hit a weak spot dealing 0.50 extra damage) = deals an extra 5-10 damage over the next 5 seconds
3. Critical Hit (exemplemary attack dealing 1.50 to 2.0 damage) = no other effect but damage
