As long as we're discussing mage weapons, I have a semi-related question. :) My summoner is 16, and has been using a staff to melee. (I don't start fighting until the mob is half health or so, but after not working on mage weapon skills at all in EQ1, I'm paranoid about not building skills in EQ2.) It always tells me that I'm too weak to hit my target. But my crushing skill is maybe 5 points away from being capped...so it shouldn't be too low, right? They aren't talking about my actual strength, are they?
