He attacks me when I walk in the same room and nod at him, we have a brief encounter, he words, I call him a coward (RP), then we meet again west of Valour.

So obviously this fight went my way. But I couldn't help but feel my damage is underwhelming here. Ogre rocking a 27 polearm with 36 damroll. I know he's got protection, but he's also in light armor. Seems intense, right? Feel free to disagree. Looking forward to more encounters, Aelyndir! Would love some chat, unless you're rocking a mute RP.
By the way, if you're going to use a polearm against him, get the black iron halberd from the Graveyard so you can exploit his iron vulnerability (assuming you haven't already).

0 , 0 , 0 . Pro tip of the day. Bomgrom 0 , 0 , 0 . Beat me to it, Ashlyn haha thanks for the tip, Militha. My understanding was that material vulns weren’t very effective and that I would be hindering myself by using a less optimal polearm. But it sounds like this is worth revisiting. That might help to close the damage gap here just a little bit.
Dogran 
0 , 0 , 0 . Aren't material vulns projectile only? Militha 0 , 0 , 0 . Based on what Paeix has been doing to me with the Centurion's polearm I'd suspect material vulns also include melee weapons. Though it doesn't seem to be as big a vulnerability as a damage type vulnerability (slash, blunt, pierce, cold, etc.) Davairus 0 , 0 , 0 . The centurion's polearm doesn't need to hit vulns to be badass, because it is average damage 33. That is a superb weapon which deals tons of damage. Its the same deal as with that blood-filled voulge. The water trident is an ave 22... useful on a dwarf only, and even in that specific niche situation, it still takes a significant damroll to overtake the ave 33 polearm's firepower. Think about it... you thought you were being hit by a vuln. That's isn't vuln damage.... that's ave 33 being ave 33 Militha 0 , 0 , 0 . It's avg 31 actually Davairus. This is literally what it says in the codex (which doesn't list it as outdated):
Davairus 3 , 0 , 0 . OK I slipped because I relied on memory. The rest is still true. Did you read anything else I wrote?
[reply to Militha]Also agree about the trash talk.

He probably had it enchanted further is my guess... In the past that weapon was very much a drow killer, though it's been a while since then...

At least that is how I have seen it.
