Noticed something odd last night and thought I'd ask you guys since I couldn't rationalize it...
Playing with a barb friend, my chance to hit was 1% lower than his despite having almost triple the attack rating (I had ~1750 and he had around ~680). He was 2 levels higher than me -- 18 to my 16, in early Act 2 Normal.
Other information that I don't think changes anything:
I was in ww form of course.
I was using an angelic sickle.
He's an axe barb using berserker axes.
Based on the equation I didn't think that my chance to hit should be so much lower than his at equal AR values, and especially not lower than his when i have ~2.5 times as much even if I'm 2 levels lower. I tried switching weapon types in case it was a hidden handicap on swords. Is there some information I'm missing here or is there some hidden handicap or variation in chance to hit for ww that's lower than others? I apologize if I'm missing something very basic but I couldn't find the answer elsewhere, and thank you for the help.
