From what I recall from live dev posts, you roll a 20 sided dice which is applied as a multiple to your DMG (but not damage bonus) characteristic. This dice is weighted depending on the atk vs ac scores of the attacker and defender.
If the same holds true on p99, then against tough opponents you want to use fast weapons as damage bonus (ie. min damage) is never mitigated. Likewise, against soft opponents DMG rolls will tend to be higher so DMG becomes more important.
I have no idea how bonus damage due to high str is resolved here.
I hope to get some parses done of my own some day, I think the mathsquest could be interesting. Ideally I need to find a mob with high regen that I can swing at for a long time with different weapon set ups (and have a healer helping to keep me alive while I gather data).
