Game Mechanics: Mobs not hitting for max damage while sitting

[tylercanuck]

Hello!

I am curious as to why mobs don't strike for max damage while sitting on P99. There are quite a few historical threads on the internet that support max damage and I wonder if it's something that can be corrected on P99. Who wouldn't love to be struck by an orc pawn for max damage while sitting at the WC ring? I know I would!

"Don't let them hit you...you may get stunned and lose 3 bubbles in a matter of seconds with even 2 or 3 of the mobs whacking at you (and they hit for max damage when you are sitting, so the first hit really hurts)."

"I have always noticed that sitting will get you hit for max... REGAURDLESS of AC or level."
