Toon is CL80 master brawler, TKM, master swordsman, pikeman 4/4/0/0, combat prowess 0/0/4/4, enhanced reflexes 0/4/0/0
Weapon PH my spd: 1.63 dam:490-1072 wnd: 11.72% my DPS:478.36 sec
Armor: Padded(fullset)with 5104 across the board and my enc: 0
Looking at my combat logs everything hits faster than I do. Depending on the creature and its CL it varies from 2:1 up to 5:1. If I can hit it with a knockdown I'll get a few extra hits in. Dizzy/knockdown doesn't work PvE but does PvP.
The last battle I had was a crazed geo guard CL79 (not in geo caves). Something Iwould think I should b able to take one on one.
With the weapon above I tried a variety of hits available with the template: lowest damage when I hit it 278pts highest 778pts(improved power attack)
outta 32 swings 31 hits 20 for 278pts.
Geo: outta 76 swings 65 hits with an average of 76pts(59-92pts per hit)
My total damage was aprox 9,395pts
Geo's aprox 4,940.
So I did a little less than dbl damage right, well that would b ok if my Health wasn't 3100(base) to Geo's 17,000+
So I get incapped and run a little away to try and recoup a little. His health is regaining more then triple the speed of mine (noticed this with most creatures)
Maybe I'm not understanding how damage is done now within the CU but how is it that most of my hits did damage below my min. damage range or DPS??
How is it that everything hits faster than I do? I understand about recharging specials/hits but even doing just a melee hit the best I get is 2:1.
How about healing rates?? Even in a meditative trance and using stim-d's most things heal faster than I do.
I know part of this post is how often the attacks go but I've just been comparing how often i hit vs what I'm fighting and how much damage I'm doing compared to it. There are some numbers and something just doesn't seem right to me.

have you thought about using a different damage type than what a power hammer supplies? the examine windows are currently broken, but are supposed to be fixed evetually where you can see the MOB/NPC stats again. after that it will be easier to tell what type of weapon you need to take with you into a fight.

Isn't damage either energy or kinetic with some additional elemental now?

Dont forget to deduct his armor and other modifications to his damage that gets blocked by skills or armor or some magic defense.
