After level 150, it seems like the mud is just out to get you and keep you at a low level (conspiracy theory ho!). Isamu and Ichiro say "oh, it was easier before partial hit/dodge got fixed" and all, but that doesn't mean jack to me. I wasn't there. I'm there now, and it takes all of my stamina (2700 stamina) to get the mob down to about 25% hp most of the time, after that I just have to run away because during the 3 (4 or 5 if I'm really lucky) hits I try to make, the mob takes 1000-1250 out of 1500 of my hp away with it's auto attacks. Throw is out of the question, too, which is pretty useful when the mob will occasionally not deflect. To add insult to injury, when you die in an area that death is almost a certainty (unless you're a select few people), you have to go ALL the way back into the main village to get ryo to recover your 300+ ryo corpse because for some reason there's no bank up there.

Maybe weapons could be flagged with 'chakrametal' or something and it'd make it so they get a -very large- boost to damage.
