Power level and damage

[ButcherG5]

I have noob question.
At this moment i dont feel any difference between 5 damage and 80 damage weapons. 80 damage bow still required 2 headshots for special enemys, same like 5 damage bow. What am i missing? Atm its feel like power-system not working and there no difference for killing which power level do u have.

Power Level isn't damage, it just can contribute to it.

Damage is affected by your total power level (hero power) which is all of your gear + character level modifier. One weapon on its own won't affect it that much.

Ok, im just level 7 with power ~150, but i cant see any improvements with killing monsters from my level 1. Again, am i missing something or changes so little and i need ~30 lvl with 400+ power to see them or kill special enemy on recruit with single headshot?

It comes down to the weapon and its attributes more than power.

Go play Veteran with 15 Hero Power. Then do it with 300. You will see the difference.

ok, thats cool, but i still dont understand how 5 damage weapon may be equial to 80 damage weapon at the moment. Thats system isnt clear for me, what is better more power or more attributes?

I remember reading someone said that roughly 25 power = +10 dmg. That was several days ago and I don't know how they arrived at that number so take it with a grain of salt. Could be more, could be less.

Only one problem - how much hp rat ogre? how much hp normal rat? how much hp special enemys? On recruit for example. This "+10 dmg" mean nothing if i dont know other numbers =\
Better to know damage increase in %, then i will know 25 power = +10% damage, so i need 250 power to come from 2 headshots to 1 headshot.

HeadHunterG5, take a moment to clear your confusion, and then read the explanations given again.

Hero Power affects your damage. Hero Power is a sum of all your gear + character level modifier. For example, Hero Power 300 is approximately a 30% increase in damage, let's say.

Weapon Power is a minor addition to your Hero Power and is not as important as having a high Hero Power overall.

Your damage doesn't scale on your weapon power. Rather it scales on your overall Hero Power.
A single item doesn't make much difference.

Again, that's not damage and that's where you seem to be confused.

Now i understand, so 50 power sword with +7% damage is better than 65 power sword. Because +7% damage = 70 total power. So in theory we have 50+70 power sword and 65 power sword to comparision. Right?

looks like nobody here knows what they're talking. Better ask on the forums and a dev might give you an answer.

No, that's wrong. Power is not damage. Power is not damage. Power is not damage. A 50 power sword with +7% damage is better, because it gives you a boost to your DAMAGE. It doesn't increase your power.

My god. u say 300 power = +30% damage. So, we can say +7% damage have same effect like 70 power in gear?
