You take 2 high skilled well armored and well equipped people fighting each other, it takes about 5 to 7 hits.
You take a low skilled poorly geared person hitting a well armored well skilled player, it comes out to 10 to 20 hits.
Mix and match this up as you wish, but its pretty good balance for me. Now throw in some misses/parry/dodge/block etc, and I can see combat being really fun. Then throw in some extra stuff like maybe a potion (nothing you can spam but maybe once every 3mins type), with some faster out of combat treatment of wounds, you can see battles could be really fun.
I dont want to see most battles where people are 1 shot, or killed in 3 hits. I like battles to last longer but not because it takes 100 hits to kill someone.
