Anyone have the damage parameters down to a science??

^I think the probable answer to this is the way damage is calculated. The damage (however it works) just isn't linear, ie. it is exponential. So I've noticed if you say have a weapon with 80 in one stat, versus a weapon with 10 in all 8 stats, the 80 is going to hit a lot harder... or in other words if the 80 works well against a beastie, the 8x10 is probably going to bounce off it like a child's toy.

I think we need to solve the damage formula, because with 8 stats at play, it can get really tricky trying to get a handle on what you're really doing with your game stat wise.
