Did Nedrian have 255 str? Does the monk from LV? Do you realize how much uber droppable str people can west here without risk?
Most melees do here cuz of alt-flation shaman buffs being so available along with no item loot... I'd suspect without AAs most top monks and rogues would blow parses from the two you've posted out of the water. | ||

here are the 5 most recent screenshots i have of killing (mostly poorly) geared casters level 56+ on red99, with the exception of fefs who likely was in his lower 50s [You must be logged in to view images.

re: Colgate - That damage is lower than I expected, I'll try do some more research into it as I get time. It is actually really hard to find anything worthwhile from 12+ years ago, but obviously for anyone who did play back then and experienced pure melees as the least popular and least effective classes to come to this server and find that both are wildly over represented and incredibly effective when played by even clueless players. | |||

I personally feel the dmg is close, my current issue is it seems the hit ratio is off depending on the class. Knights seem to have a terrible miss rate, while Rangers, bards, and all the pure melee seem to hit almost every round. I will put some screen shots together after I spend some more time with it
Any thoughts? | ||

Hit rate seems drastically high on pure melee
Bashes from SKs land all the time, while their hits seem to be low/ infrequent I do see rogues get nasty ass backstabs on toons with massive AC still, too. I think if anything needs tinkering, it's AC/ hit rate. Rogues are definitely the flavor class right now - very easy to play, absurd DPS. I die on my VP geared Enchanter in under 5 seconds if I'm poisoned and get Duelisted. Casting gate is not an option most of the time. Could be classic, but doesn't seem like it. | ||
