Right, I've looked further into the problem of lvl 1 difficulty by parsing eqemu (NPCHitBonusChance=0), p1999, ragefire and vox (live)
I've only parsed actual incoming damage values and not dps, hope that doesn't skew the results too much.
HTML Code:
Hit rate Avg dmg Effective damage
Vox 72,00 % 3,833333333 2,76
Ragefire 70,00 % 2,028571429 1,42
p1999 88,00 % 1,181818182 1,04
eqemu 69,57 % 4,535714286 3,239130435
So eqemu has 3x higher dmg on mobs than ragefire and p1999. Only slightly more dmg than Vox - but on vox you don't get killed in 4 hits - must be the hp regen and player damage.
Any and all input appreciated.
