Not looking forward to this...

if all numbers are reduced all across the board, your 1mil crit would do the same effective damage as your 800crit as it would take away the same overall % of the health of the mob, (the mob health would be reduced by the same curve) at least that is the way i understand it.

I know how the math works.. I'm talking about the perception that players have... players WANT to feel MORE powerful as they advance in the game..from level to level..gear upgrade to gear upgrade..expansion to expansion. Its all in the mind, I know.. but it FEELS better as you level and upgrade to see your damage do higher numbers and your heals heal for more.. PERIOD! Thats why its a bad idea to squelch the numbers IMHO!
