He wants to solo...not to suicide....especially with a opening 2H PA for +700dam and a guy that hits 3 times more and as more toys/Ras then toys r us

you mean like infs and shades do 1h?

2h PA is far from as good as people claim it to be.

Got hit for 1.8k on my merc once, which looks like proper damage to me, even if it includes a crit.

I've had a lucky PA on 'Dwchick' - RR6 Mercenary : 7xx damage. My cap is 9xx damage.

If you assume a 2H has a cap of 1450 (thats a fair assumption?) that would been a 1125 PA uncritted on that merc *IF* a SB had the same random-number-generator luck as me. Then a nice crit you would been looking at 1600+ already.

That was with slash btw, you can expect some better hits with the right type of leggie on mercs (most mercs either lack energy, spirit or matter resists).

I wouldnt say its impossible to be honest.

I've only been 2H PAd for over 1k about three times ever on my theurg, and never on my minstrel. I won't say the PA damage isn't unbalancing for stealth wars, but I really do wonder if the casters who whine about getting constantly one-shotted, actually know what a self-AF buff is :m00:

I got hit for 1150 with backstab today (that is not a lie, and I got capped melee resists :p)

And no, this wasn't PA as I got stunned for 3 seconds :p

Was a norseman SB with a 2h champion sword :(

I was on my Wizard though.

probly a crit, if not a very lucky hit. my cap with 2h champ sword is around 1150 aswell.

I think he was talking about his PA aswell ;) My PA dmg would be around 600-700 on leather, maxing on 900 on clothes. That's what 50 CS does to you :)

PA-variance is just horrible, it has the potential to do loads of damage, but more often then not you perf people for just abit over the enervating HP-penalty, which means the PA itself doesnt offer much damage more then an unstyled hit.

The real advantage lies in Creeping Death, which you must purge, leaving you open for DoT-mines and such. Atleast, thats my experience. If there's anything I would like to see is the variance on PA's to be tightened. Perfing a caster for 496 while he has 29% resists is just silly IMO. Especially when he nukes back for over 500 :S

I usually hit casters for about 700 mainhand, leather for around 500+ and chain for 400 - 500 (no idea why).

rr2 though, so rr5 (if I can be bothered to play that long) will probably help.
