Exactly that.

Extremley accurate at 60HP, very inaccurate at 20hp.

As said, it does need to be nerfed. Its hitting 60's at 80 hp, but hitting 20's at 20 hp? It's not reliable at all on low HP, but its way way to accurate at full health. Its backwards :S

It's power is right on, Dharok's can hit high hits at high HP because of it's Strength bonus, but it's accuracy is ridiculous at high HP.

Accuracy is definitely the same on all hitpoint levels, I can guarantee that. I have no explanation why it seems to be otherwise.

In any case, since the poll is quite clear at this point, I will implement a change in the next update that will decrease the dharok's axe overall average damage by making its special effect only occur from time to time (just like any barrows set effect only occurs from time to time). This means the max hit and accuracy remain, but there will be less instances of someone hitting very high. Maybe this is also how it's done in RuneScape, but confirming this is not easy.

By doing this, I believe our dharoks set will become about as strong as it is supposed to be, while working as it is supposed to work.

If the change does not seem to have a big enough impact, I will simply lower the amount of times the set's special effect occurs until it seems perfectly balanced.

I'm rly not a pker but if I can give some advice it will be: Watch few pk live commentaries from youtube... Chris Archie has several hours of pking in his channel.

But when I have pked I notice dh hits like this:
0-50-0-0-80-0-40-50

you know in normal rs there are hits between 0 and upponents max hp? Like 10-40 damage hits.

That is all I can say about this.
There is only one.

I was just Pking, the opponent was around 1\5th HP. (20-25hp) and I got hit a 89.

That shouldn't be possible ^

That should indeed be possible at that low hp.
