ok, well i figured as much. so i just started pumping points into agility. had to spend some skill points to bump the summoning doll agility as well. i think we need to make up our minds, because apparently the current sharpening skill results were similar if not the same as the original version before all the patches, and then at some point they decided to modify the skill so that the agility requirements weren't so steep and the damage wasn't getting amplified so much. this was somewhere between 1.32 and 1.42. I guess it became necessary to put things as they were. .:heh:.
