No, I test with critical hits because thats the easy way to see differences in damage (critical hits are always the same unless you have some sort of outside damage modifier, in this case height was a modifier increasing the damage output when you were high enough). I think its a pretty safe assumption that the game would not give you increased damage in non-critical hits or not give increased damage in critical hits.

This is what I'm wondering, and what I thought the title was referring to. Does making a tall ranger actually give some semblance (however small) of a damage increase? Would the increase be a bit greater against a very short toon? I doubt it, but it could be worth trying out, even if it's only an extra 1-2 points per battle.

For the record, I've always assumed that height affected damage. This is what I was told by friends before I started playing, then I read it on wiki, and finally the NPC on the isles. All of this solidified in me and I tended to notice it in actual gameplay. Granted, that could've been all in my head, but I'm pretty sure I did notice the difference.

Thanks for finally proving it all and making me realize I'm not crazy.

"priceless"

High ground more damage. "period". It used to be that way anyways. As far as I can see - still is.
