Why is it lower than our counterparts (Merc and Zerker)?

For me, playing a 5L BM sometimes i think that BM dmg is rly decent

my damage is allright tbh. dunno why people cry about that
large weapon damage is ****** tbh. i do 200-250 mainhand hits, while 2handers hit for 250-300.

Some solo arms (slash damage) hits my ranger (pd4) for 180 to 270^^

That is some ****** DPS. The Armsman's attack speed is almost certainly over 4 seconds. Since he used his pole-arm I'm going to assume this was after a slam and he was behind you?

That means the Armsman could stand there and pound on you with a high-growth positional and it would still take him 5-8 swings (20-32 seconds) to kill you. PD 4 or not, that's really sad.

Hum, and now tell me whats bad about that damage for rr5 Armsman vs 50% resistance. I thought about it and I dont get your point.

Edit: He can strike 3 times while stunned.

Because you don't use your (side style) follow ups frequently enough.

it's lower because BM growth rates are crap

the only good dmg is the side chain, thats all...backsnare is crap GR as well.

If you want to do decent dmg, get a firbolg bm...spec 50 CD 40 slash 40 pierce, and get a dmg add charge. use your dmg add charge every minute in a fight, it does as much dmg as craaappy Triple Wield. If you do this you will do as much as most mercs and you will never have a target resistant to your dmg type.

You still won't do as much dmg as zerkers, but it will be alright compared to alb tanks (not reaver tho).
