Crazy damage variance with Fanat and a question about 2h'rs

[antelopesalad]

Does anyone else get crazy variance with the Fanat skill?

My fanat is about 580 damage (level 21) and while my perception is horrible now (76, 30% -- I was balancing my gear around having the elf rep gear which I still need to grind) my damage is all over the place.

It literally hits for 80 damage sometimes and 950 damage other times without crits. Sometimes it crits for 300 and sometimes it crits for 2200.

The same thing happened when my perception was around 13% but the damage was a bit less. My luck is around 70 (11-12%ish glancing blow if it matters) too.

What stat will stabalize the damage?

Also I have a question about 2 handers in general. It seems 2h maces have higher min damage and lower max damage vs staves. Our listed Fanat damage is only 1 damage figure though. Does the min damage get ignored or is it an average of the min+max/2 that controls the listed damage of our skill?

More luck with stabilize the damage.

More luck, in a way, can stabilize the damage. You could be dealing glancing blows.

[dchipeev]

Blocks reduce incoming damage by 75%, parry is 50%.
Perhaps those are your problem?

[antelopesalad]

How much luck will you need to make a real difference? 12% glancing blows seemed reasonable but it's no where near stable.

You need more perception. I am level 26 with the same amount of luck, but I have constant damage with about 120 perception.

You need more Wisdom. Wis = a Healers Fin, it will make the enemy's armor less effective.

Also if this is in holy lands expect it for now because the mobs block and parry SO MUCH. it will HOPEFULLY be fixed in cbt4. i feel like its too hard for some classes and will turn people off from the game.
