damage numbers

Ok so I am new to Barb, but I am having some difficulty understanding the damage calculations in the game. My character sheet shows a specific damage range, but when I fight monsters my level in human form I never seem close to those numbers, usually 40 or so damage short of even the minimum. Now I know there is a reduction from True Form but the character sheet seems to reflect this. However, again attacking mobs my level I still don't seem to come close to those numbers. Help?

    Enemies (players and mobs) have their own physical defense ratings, and their defense mitigates your damage.

    Is there a way to see it? Or at least to be able to gauge high defense targets/mobs?

    don't you hate when it does that. like am supposed to do 146 damage minumum but i do like 100 instead...but i think its becuse of their defense...they probably have more defence then other mobs and it lowers the damage they take...so i make up for it with my skills and healing rate. if you have a decent healing rate you can heal all the way from like half of your health to be fully healed in 30 seconds to 2 minutes
    probably one of the smartest in perfect world
    yet the lowest of level

    Another thing you will notice is that when you use skills the damage olso isnt the same.. that is cause of the defense each mob has.. Try to kill a level 1 rabbit or horse just to sse what damage you actually do..
