Merged post due to forum limitation.
I was playing co-op with a friend and I was severely under-leveled going into the Lowland Meadows (Level 25 area) while my character was only Level 17.
After we finished playing (my character ended up leveling to 21), I noticed that my character was only dealing half damage to enemies, regardless of whatever zone/realm I was in. It seems to be permanent

I have a friend who is also facing this problem.
Hey lads,
How have you verified this?
Can you try to correct it maybe by entering a new Realm for a second, before joining your Main again?
I would also really like your files for this one, if you would be so kind! How to Properly Report Bugs!

Here are some screenshots showing my character stats/equipment:
I’ve been testing this character on two different realms (both of which are Path of the Unspoken).
In the “Black Trench” (Danger Level 20), my character is dealing about 103-115 damage to mobs with normal attacks.
In the “Orban Glades” (Danger Level 17), my character is dealing about 165 damage to mobs with normal attacks.

EDIT: I’ve been told that enemies also have armor, so perhaps the enemies have 40%+ damage reduction from armor? Could it be that this actually isn’t a bug, but instead a deliberate design decision?

Hm I don’t think it should account for that much of a damage reduction.
I’m thinking of in-game reasons first but you are probably right on the money that it is a bug.
Do you guys also play through the Crucible in your sessions?
Any gear interactions that make you do less damage?
If you can do tests on the dummies that would be best I think.
Can you also add your Datastore to that shared link?
Appreciate it!

I’ve been experimenting a bit and this behavior seems to be present for all of my characters. I’ve tested them all with the test dummy in Sacrament. Here are some screen shots of a brand new character made on a brand new realm (Path of the Unspoken) about 30 minutes ago:

Thank you for that. You see changes between hitting that dummy after you have triggered it?
(test before and after please!)

I’m actually not sure what triggers this behavior.
All of my characters, including newly created ones isolated in their own realms, are somehow dealing much lower damage than what’s listed in the character stats screen; it seems as if my entire game is glitched.
Alright, it’s just the amount of armour enemies have compared to your attack.
The "total” is the max range you can hit for if you are critting.
It is how the game is calculation damage 
Each enemy faction has different resistances as well.
Hope you can enjoy your game further knowing this!
