The current battle system mainly calculate everything from Your Rank vs Mob Rank

[Physic]

No lol. The reason different weapons do the same damage on NMs is because dLvl has capped how good you're allowed to be on said target. Fact.

Evidence: Gain one level. Keep the rest of your stats the same. You will see your cap go up, because your dlvl got better.

You're wrong. Your argument has been destroyed by facts about the game readily apparent.

dLvl dominates this game. Don't think so? You're simply wrong. It's not an opinion.

dlvl is a part of the equation, but it is not the only factor, or i would not see my dmg change attacking a mob 20 levels higher than me. If dlevel was the determining factor every mob that much higher would yeild the same results.

another test+
pug 42
vs level 70 gobbue
weathered hora 10-12 heavy strike
boarskin cesti 20-25

that essentially shows my weapon being twice as effective, this means if we were all fighting something 28 levels higher than us, my weapon is making me twice as effective at dps.
Im not questioning that dlevel matters, im saying gear still matters, if you have a situation where it doesnt, it has nothing to do with dlevel.

edit so in response to what peregrine is saying, basically since everyone has the same gear, and capped stats, only your level matters, but you are all the same level so nothing matters. doesnt sound like a problem with gear/stats, the probelm is you all have the same gear and stats.

exactly what does the dlevel have to be for me to see no difference and do you really think that the NMs are that level.
