Not a whine but can we please fix melee?

[Jify]

I have to admit, it seems weird. I thought it might have been all smoke and mirrors as I leveled my ranger up. Levels 1-7 I was able to take even cons with ease. Now, blues, I need full HP, full mana, and still may have to run. (Did I mention I'm twinked with nearly 300AC and a PGT?)

I can't imagine what the higher lvl melee are going through! Sorry guys 8(

[Chewybunny]

damage to hit is off, the percentage is too low. My monk misses 60% of the time, and the few hits they do make hit for heavy damage.

My war is pretty ok on hits on full HP, but once he gets lower and goes beserk is few hits then iam gone. Iam lucky to have good HP regen (troll) saved my hide few times. Can have to do with AGI?

I am just glad I am not the only one that is super frustrated trying to play a monk. Jiffy that's nuts about your Ranger.

I leveled a ranger to 55 on live mostly soloing.

After recently playing on a different classic type server compared to this one. The player melee seem pretty close, a bit off still. But the NPC hit rates were totally different. Here the mobs barely miss and hits for almost max every time. On other servers, their hit rate is much lower. Thats why we can't solo anything with melee. The mobs hit rates are to high here.

You may be on to something? I was overweight 92/90 at the time when I was having problems. My AGI was still 103 or something high like that. But I was suffering big time from hits.

Soon as I get low on HP, it's a guaranteed death!

I'm now 89/90, and killing blues in CB taking about 30% damage per mob. I'll see if I can gain so weight tonight and try it again.

Tiger strike dmg not showing in text makes it even worse too. I think mend might be a little messed up as well. Lot of times I get no message what so ever.
I guess after about 10 years and games like wow we've forgotten how bad melees were. Monks imo were just ho-hum until Kunark came out. I remember getting excited for the promise of monk friendly blunt weapons with Kunark.

I will stick it out. I don't like to solo in p1999 anyway.

There has to be something different here than other emus, cause in the numerous servers I've frequented previously, I've never received the pounding I do here. Blue cons hit over 90% of the time and do max damage at least half the time.

After a week of going nowhere in game, I'm going to take a break from 1999 but keep my eyes on the board to see if a solution can be reached.

Agreed 100%

Think I am going to take a break as well. You have NO idea how difficult it is to tank atm.

I get maxed on by greens all the time as a warrior with full bronze, 5ac55hp rings, etc etc etc etc.

Might as well remove tank classes and just have mage pet as MT. Their pets take a beating just as well and they regen insanely fast unlike players.

5ac 55hp rings ? didnt those not come out till velious ?

Nope, those are platinum and most def. classic... Velium is 6ac 65hp...
