[QUOTE="Tovec, post: 6183056, member: 95493"] I've only been paying the loosest amount of attention to this thread and so I'm not going to try and understand the context of what is going on. However, this phenomenon can be easily explained. To test it out yourself you'll need a baseball bat. That's it really, just a bat and a ball. Take the bat and go outside. Swing it as hard as you can. Now, have someone pitch you the ball and try and hit the ball. You can swing by aiming, and hit the ball. You may hit it in field or outfield or maybe even a home run. Now, have them throw the ball again. This time you have to swing with all your might. As fast and as hard as possible, but not as accurately. If you happen to hit the ball it will go flying further than if you had swung less hard. But your chances of connecting, if you are really using all your might to swing, drop drastically. That is "barbarian uses his strength to swing wildly but deeper" in a nutshell. Trust me on this by the way, I've done it personally and it is a huge difference. If you manage to hit it just blasts way further. And if I trained and trained, and managed to up my bonus to hit then I'm sure could knock it out the park nearly every time - assuming I connected.
