Um, why do I keep doing just one point of damage? My targets have no special resists, they are lower level than I am, and I am using DSS constantly. Yet about 1/5 the time, I hit for 1 point of damage, which keeps nearly getting me killed when 3-4 mobs aggro. Any Ideas?
Also what class and skills...basically information is necessary to tell you whats happening.
OR....better yet make a replay file and let us see what your doing...granted there will be no messages..but we may not need them if we can see what your doing.
I havent got anywhere to host a video, so I will have to give you all the info I can.
Weapon in use: +6 light crossbow, with DSS and attack aura activated
Mob being attacked: Ol Mahum Reserves/Shooters.
whats happening exactly: A random attack, abouyt 1/5 of them, says "You hit for 1 damage". I animate the shot, I get the SFX of hitting my target, with no other special FX like the ding of hitting a shield or armor. Just a "TWANG-THWACK" noise as usual. The target animates as if hit by a DSS shot, but does not recoil as if hit.

Lineage 2 Replay files are actually quite small and are not video files. (Probably not necessary after reading the following.)

If I remember correctly the Ol Mahum Reserves carry shields. In which case the 1 damage result would be from the mahum making a successful shield block.
Ol Mahum Shooters however do not carry shields. (archer mob) Thus they should not block any of your shots.
Given your gear and location, this seems to be the most likely reason for the 1 damage results. (1 damage is what all successful shield blocks allow.) Shields also block arrow shots at a very high rate. (Even without masteries) Thus your 1/5 sounds withing range...for the Reserves. If you are getting this result on the Shooters, this may be a bug on that mob. (Tagged as a shield mob when it does not have one.)
Can you verify that this occurs on only one or both of these mobs?
