Combat melee damage bugged...

What about glance ?

I did not see any messages in my log about glancing, but even then it should not glance repeatedly. For that matter, were glancing blows in Vanilla? I honestly do not remember this type of behavior in Vanilla. I do not remember damage this low at high levels in ANY version, for that matter.

Glance appears once the monster has 3 or plus level above your weapon skill.

E.g:

200 in weapon skill means that attacks against monster level 43+ will have a high chance to get a "glance" result.

Then this isn't glancing. I am testing this on mobs my level. I will do more testing when I can actually play again.

Hi Xen',

It's not about your level but your weapon level. Can you give more data for theorycrafting this ? :-)

I can when I login again. I'll get my weapon skill levels and everything. I normally keep my skill levels maxed or close to it. I have the attitude, if it moves, it dies. My melee skills stay high due to that. Either way, I will get you specifics this weekend if not tonight.

Alright, I was fighting some mobs in Un'goro. I am level 51 with maces at 235. I was fighting a 53 Tar Lord and kept getting around 8~15 damage. Spells seemed to be fine.

So, let's theorycraft a bit.

235 / 5 = 47.

You must have glance hitting mobs level 50 as well. Up your weapon skills to, at least, 255 and retry.

For me, so far it's working as intended.

I will the next time I play. The thing is, I do not ever remember this on official being this bad. Seven or eight in a row? I ALWAYS fight mobs 1 to 2 levels above my own. I also normally keep my weapon skill within five points of max until I reach my max level, where it also maxes out. This seems a bit extreme, but I will setup a real-world scenario and use it for a while (maces at max - 5), fighting mobs within two levels of my own and report the results.

Is this still an issue on latest revision?
