Not taking full damage when sitting from melee hits
 

Noticed I was sitting and got hit for 83 instead of cap of 120.

Think a change to red at some point caused this? Not sure, but I am pretty sure it was working here at one point.

Don't ever recall it working. I think it's been posted about several times.

Shit's p.classic atm. Gotta say.

Whenever this one can get nailed down is completely fine with me.

Sitting doesn't properly put you at the top end of the DI, but it does certainly increase the accuracy of a mob attacking you.

I seem to recall sitting being a max hit also but meh. Not nearly as big an issue since people aren't staring at their book to med and can mouse wheel into 3rd person :P

Getting hit for max sitting is something pvp players will remember all too well :P.

Almost lost a manna robe in PoM to duelist rogue cuz of it.

It was working at one point, then it wasn't. Not sure what happened, but it should be the npcs max possible hit if sitting.

I think it was some fix to red for players at low lvls hitting too much in pvp? I remember an SS showing up of someone on red critting for like 300 at lvl 20 with a weighted axe in Unrest and lots of attention surrounding it.

At any rate I'm sure aside from being a simple fix, its an annoying code dig to find the right place to change it.

Alecta made changes to how sit damage is computed for red because it was using the highest possible damage instead of being appropriate to the attacker/weapon/skills/str etc...

He doesn't read server bugs, only red AFAIK, so you should alert him of this since it may require his input.

^ that about matches the memory of how this all went down. Lvl 30's hitting for max of a lvl 50 instead of a lvl 30 on sit.

So it's jumping the max logic to compute it as a regular swing... but not grab the max and ensure the hit.

Not sure, but I though when you sat, if whoever hit you had a double attack, both hits would be max damage? Or a triple would be three hits for max? Anyone remember this details?
