anyone else having this problem? I was just mauled by a bear cub so I can say it's working sometimes... if you can give me more specifics maybe it will help?  you aren't missing, right?

I goofed in my initial post... they are both equipped with the berserker's axe.  Here are my heroes stats:

My Level 33 Sovereign:

Str: 18

Dex: 19

Attack: 14

Accuracy: 96

Crit Chance: 11

Elsibetta Level 29

Str: 54

Dex: 21

Attack: 44

Accuracy: 117

Crit Chance: 12

Latest combat:  1 giant rock spider dodge of 3 and two level 4 rock spiders with dodge of 3.

Both characters make their initial hit and cause damage. Maul message and then the spiders dodge every time for the second attack.  Never, ever get damage on a second hit, always a dodge...  I did note that the text for the axe sts -3 accuracy reduction until missed attack, whereas the patch notes state it was changed to -4....

Thanks for your help... loving the changes thus far... looking forward to more of everything!

Even with very high dex/accuracy I see the same thing. I might, if I'm lucky, get a second hit with maul, never get a third. Also the damage from each hit seems to be signfiicantly lower than each hit from double strike. It was definitely overpowered before, now it seems to be the opposite end of the spectrum.

So I think it's gone to the other end of the spectrum - from overpowered to underpowered.

I just one-shot everything since level 8 or 9 with my berserker's axe.
