Combat Damage Calculations Changed?

You can't sting, valor-strike, chop or cleave with a hammer..

That's all fine and dandy except you can use valorous strike with a hammer. (not sting though)

Is it really necessary to be an asshole? Or do you just have some sadistic personality where you feel prompted to be a shitbag toward others you deem inferior? Grow up.

Dude, that's what high investment PK video games are for.

My money is on bear talisman being replaced by something else.

I doubt the 20 or so str makes that big a difference, my money is still on him using a q10 hammer instead of his sword.

Was the combat system changed? I used to be able to 1-shot foxes of all levels with a valor strike.... now I just did 100 dmg to a lvl 6.

I also noticed I had the hardest time against a lvl 5 bear yesterday when I could previously handle all levels.

None of my armor/stats has changed except for AGI.


EDIT:

it just happened again... I had to attack THREE times against a lvl 8 boar each attack doing like 120~ damage each.

This is incredibly frustrating

get higher stats and stop bitching.

People like you otherwise won't learn, and besides if you bitch about having to attack 3 times stop playing the game already.

Possible factor:

• Attack Meter
• Enemy Defense Meter
• Combat Advantage
• Weapon switch
• User Error

i think its the animal getting an advantage on you which causes you to do less damage to his defence bar, thus less overall damage. sometimes when iam fighting an animal i accidently move or something and he drains my defence and gets a free hit on me. boars on the other hand have a skill to gain an advantage on you without hitting you.

An axe was actually attacking instead of the sword in my other hand.

Perplexing because I thought axes only carried axe-based combat attacks and not swordsmanship.

And also:

You can stop with the preconceived im-better-than-you ideas that I am an idiot that "needs to learn". Its not like a vast majority of my posts are bitching about game content.

There's an incredibly huge difference between bitching that something takes too long (Even 1 hits take time so this is a pointless statement) and noticing that suddenly a large change has occurred in your routine with no change made by you. He noticed a potential bug and brought it up on the forums. What an asshole.

So in other words. You can use the sting attack due to having sword in hand but it utilized the damage of the axe. Quirky.

PS: Why were you dual wielding?
