Why area Area 2 and Hit 2 more powerful than Areas 3 and Hit 3.
Thanks in advance.

The idea is that you follow the link - is the calculator broken or is there some other factor.

hiyas, i dont know whether this calculatorworks right, but it shows you, youravarage damage per second(dps) and it will say youneed more speed to do a higher dpswith your weapon if you slay with area3 and hit3. try a higher player speed mod or much faster weapon and you would see thatyour dps on area3 and hit3 will rises up.

They're not, the calculator calculates the damage per second. If you're not speed capped, a faster special may outdamage a more powerful one. Try putting in player speed mod 100 and you'll see that Hit 3 is more powerful and that area 2 and 3 have the same damage (since they have the same damage modifier).
Hope that clarifies it

Mandark's calrification is very clear. So I should be using hit2 instead of hit 3 with that scythe?

I'd recommend head hits for single targets because they only target one pool. Even if you're hitting for less damageyou're always hitting mind, which in the end may be more effective.
Also, once you master head hit 3 has a 3.5x damage modifier, that's the second highest after hit 3 with 4.0x.

area attack2 IS slightly more powerful than area attack3 (in reality of game play it is excatly the same) area attack 3 does come with a mild dizzy so it is justifield to be a better move
i dont think hit2 and hit 3 on that caculator is right tbh if it was that much difference i would notice it

I am a Master Swordsman, Novice Medic 0100 and Master Ranger. No PvP as I don't think this template really suits it.
To be most effective with my speed of 75 plus 1 from a clothing attachment, my toolbar will have
Hit 2
Area 2
Spin 2
Mind 2
Head 3
This is based on http://killyourpc.org/swg/swg_dps.php?weapon_min=245&weapon_max=437&weapon_speed=2.6&pc_speed=76&class=Swordsman
I know area 3 offers dizzy but dizzy doesn't work on animals - silly bug that still hasn't been fixed.
If I got this wrong, please let me know.
Otherwise many thanks for the advice and explanations.
