    I am not against any nerf unless it destroys the gameplay. I have serious questions to ask to team

    a) do you have testers who are trustworthy?
    b) do you really test things for high end players?
    c) the hp bug is still here and dmg is nerfed significantly. I see little to no crit bonus. I hide go behind of a target and hit 20! With 130+ skills and over 2k gameplay. I guess a fresh player can also hit 30ish?

    I was able to crit over 300 from stone arrow yesterday, now damages are from 30 to 60 and with a full carapacian set and pine wands i just did 2/15 critical hits.
    Something is not working, i lost much more than 50% dps.

    Maybe is something releated to strength math.
    Not sure, still testing.

    I noticed something unusual, but I would say that you are right. I think this change could explain why we don't get as much max damage as we used to while I don't feel like killing my opponents is much harder. But that's just feeling.

    I am using swords and my top end damage feels halved as well.

    edit: My overall dps feels the same though. Looks like my low end hits have gotten a lot higher.

    Yes, actual DPS should be roughly the same, +/- 10%. The change was that the Min damage was moved up and the max damage moved down. This was to remove some of the randomness from combat. It used to calculate the target damage and then multiply that by .5 and 1.5 to get the min and the max. Now it is more like .75 and 1.25. DPS should remain the same but yes, your max hits will be down a bit.

    Torc kills taking me slightly longer now. Usually between 45-55 seconds but now around 1:15-1:30ish.

    He also critted me with a swipe for 832.

    While he is turning he does seem to Parry more so thinking that might just be that he's mitigating more damage than he normally did.

    He's also Parrying DOTs - bugging now.

    Also, can someone test on a dummy whether crit% is 2x from behind... have a sneaking suspicion it might be broken... UPDATE: VERY CERTAIN OF THIS.

    @Chris Either the game doesn't know I'm behind him or the 2x crit% bonus is off.

    @Vesper just tested and was critting 2x from behind a training dummy.

    That means it must be the position updating of the mob making me crit less. It doesn't know I'm behind him.

    Just had multiple duels with Lao Tzu. his Ice arrows are hitting me harder than they ever have, but my melee is swinging like a wet noodle (even with Brittle Brawn, Beserk, and Beserker stance).

    Did they accidently break bludgeon or are you seeing massive dips to swords as well Sara?

    Only dips I'm seeing are from critting less. I had heard that the damage on bludgeon was broken even last release...
