[Question] Damage nerfed?

Hi.

I noticed that my chainsaw and mining laser no do a lot less damage than they did in the older version.
Is this a bug or is this intented since they are tools and I am supposed to use the nano saber for ballance reasons?

Please label your version numbers ("old" and "current").
Neither chainsaw nor Mining Laser was nerfed in damage (as you can see by reading the changelogs).

Although it's just a "feeling" and thus very subjective I think at least
the chainsaw's damage is now (1.64) lower than before (1.43)
I need 10-12 strikes to kill a zombie (10 hearts) and I definitly think I needed less on 1.43

Thank your for for your fast reply.

The server runs 1.64.
I also need like 10 hits to kill a zombie - before I needed 2 or 3. Also a long range hit with the mining laser on point blank range now needs 2 shots to kill a zombie - it was 1 before. But as mentioned all other weapons and the nano sabre still work fine.

The server also runs Buildcraft and redpower and a few other mods since the admin likes to mod this game into oblivion....

zombie is 24 hp in 110, it need more hits for reason.

Now, i'm playing 1.64 on a server with a few friends, and we for sure do not need 10 strikes.
More about 3-4.

As well, keep in mind zombie health got buffed (afaik 20 -> 30 / 10h -> 15h) in 1.1 by Mojang.

Are you sure the chainsaw was charged?

In regard to the mining laser i'll probably need to check that again.

Sidenote: Bukkit?

Mining Laser is 1/2 Shots for everything (1 Shot only at point blank range).

Chainsaw is 2-3. Zombies eat a hit more than they did before.
