Again, combat table means the distribution of hits. It has nothing to do with the miss rate.

The historical solution to this was:

Turn off misses, so you don't see them.

Not kidding.

Weapon skills my foot, rogues have 0 2hblunt and whenever I'm hammering a white con player (or some npc for that matter) I'm landing basically every hit. There's some specific combat tables that make hybrids swing and miss decaying skeletons.

Basically every hit? I think you have confirmation bias. It was like 62% hit rate overall at 60 iirc with maxed skills. The difference between hybrids and pure melee was quite small even when weapon skill differences was taken into account. Your level and offense skill play a big part of your hit rate as well, not some class based combat table.

Smacked a bunch of dark blues around with an orc shovel on 60rog just now, looks like a steady good hit rate despite having no 2hblunt ability / buffs whatsoever. Actually looking at this makes me think I'm on my SK right now. Pure melees just land attacks way more often imo.
