Of course I am, Im a little concerned bout fighting anything blue, though, i've lost enough experience today as it is... Greens should show you beyond a reasonable doubt though that there ARE issues with the hit/miss rate.

8 attacks, 3 were misses, only 2 did full damage, and the critical did a mere 6 damage.

An even weaker gnoll, 13 attacks, 4 misses, and 4 did gimped damage.

I gotta be honest.. What you are showing me pretty much looks like you are pummeling green mobs.. Although they are green, you gotta consider that the level gap is not *that* huge with you only being level 12. If you were a few levels higher and came back to kill these same gnolls and had 40-50% miss rates, I might agree that something is wrong.

I remember dying more often than not on my warrior back in classic fighting blues solo(I think I learned my lesson trying to solo by my low-teens), so again It's going to be hard for me to agree with you that something is drastically wrong.

A dev can probably chime in on the difficulty of getting melee working exactly as classic, but after the time they spent when the server was opened (when it was totally fubar'd) it seems to me they got it pretty damn close.
