A lot of people in the thread mentioned that level is a big factor, which is true. I am, however, unsure of the underlying mechanics of that. Is it actually being 1 level higher that will make a difference, or is it the associated skill caps that come with being 1 level higher? I'm not quite sure. It may be both.

No science here but I’m pretty sure there’s a modifier for level beyond just that of the skill difference. Two examples that come to mind, when you’re in your 40s and skills are capped you can tell a big difference when facing blue vs white mobs, and when you gain a level or two you improve significantly against the same mobs where you used to struggle. The second example (obviously not apples to apples but...) spells land much more consistently on mobs that are blue to you, I’m not aware there is any skill modifier for spell effectiveness my understanding is that skill in a specific school of magic on reduces fizzle chances.
Could totally be off base, for a 20 year old game there are still some mysteries that allude some of us lay people.
