The difference in defense of a mugger and a man would mean a lot more to a level 3 than a maxed player. Not really a good comparison. Also, I wasn't talking about a maxed player here, I was talking about the OP, who is mid 80s in melee stats besides 97 strength, and no extremes/turm/rapier. The difference in abyssal demons defense vs. dust devils, etc. is a bit larger to them.
