Well firstly, average damage is what matters, not max damage. Your warrior with Powerstrike might hit for 570, but then the next hit might be for 80 since your mastery is so low. Mages will hit consistently for 400+ with every single attack since Magic Claw has built in mastery. So a mage will outdamage you by far over the long term.

Secondly, just because you hit for 570 with powerstrike, so what? My lvl 29 mage can hit for over 600 with Magic Claw (since each hit from claw can hit for over 300, and claw hits twice). I don't even have an above average/scrolled wand (but I do have +5 m.atk earings).
