I don't think hit probability it has changed in my memory. I would like to see the calculation.

By gut feeling, Id say to hit is worth less that 1/2 damage. It is difficult to use calculations for several reasons.
Firstly, the effect depends on the AC of what you are fighting (and here I would love to see a function of how average damage depends on enemy AC).
Secondly, not all fights are equally important. I would think, but I am not sure, that important fights typically involve above average AC.
Thirdly, in case of overkill damage in 1 round, extra to hit is very welcome. For example, imagine a situation where nexus hounds are trickling out and a survivor is likely to run with potential to cause trouble.Comment

I did a calculation for a CL 42 Paladin vs AC 150 doing 505 damage with Ulmo vs animals (and evil with a spell.) +20 with buffs increases effective damage from 363 to 386, equivalent to 5 nominal damage per blow. That is, accuracy is about 25% as valuable as damage for a melee class. If for some reason you wanted to melee Morgoth as a mage, it would be significantly more, possibly close to 50%.Comment

funny, i think the highest Damage i have seen was a +15, with +13s being abundant. But assuming +13 is equal to a Ring of Speed +10 in rarity, i've seen RoS +14 (and more, but +14 isn't insanely rare) and higher but never any Damage higher than +15."i can take this dracolich"Comment

+13 Damage is conditionally equivalent to a +10 RoSpeed. If you've got base speed 25, yes. If you have an midgsme weapon or an ordinary endgame weapon yes. But if you've got +2 attacks MoD with Slay Evil spell, or some massive damage randart, no.Comment

I remember it being significant. I'd forgotten it was huge. Abolishing the shield spell for 50% of the classes makes up for some of it. Abolishing a number of other buffs makes up for more. (I rarely have double cold resistance anymore, and only sometimes have double fire resistance.)Comment
