When calculating damage, what's really the point if I don't know the monster's original starting health? How can you tell what the final damage calculation actually does to it, percentage wise? I calculated the Cataclysm Sword using an unsheathing attack against a Rathian's head with green sharpness comes to about 62 damage. But what point is there in all that if I don't know how large of a chunk 62 is out of Rathian's full health. I understand it would have 3 different parameters, 1 for offline, 1 for low-rank online, and 1 for high rank, but hopefully you see my point...
