I always thought light attack does less damage than heavy attack. But since I started using combat metrics, I am confused, as it appears only partially (medium) to fully charged heavy attack does more damage than light.
I want to improve my DPS, so light/heavy weaving is one of the things I am focused on right now. First thing I noticed is that with my brain/fingers/mouse, it’s almost impossible to weave light attacks on stam NB. Especially weaving light attacks with Surprise attack. Surprisingly light weaving is much easier on my Sorc. But I digress. There are many weaving guides on the net and I just have to find the one that explains it in a way I will be able to benefit from it. Is there a guide specifically for stam NBs with all skills on mouse? 
Back to my original question … is light attack supposed to do less damage than heavy, no matter how charged heavy is?
According to my metrics, light attack is only the one where i slightly tap my mouse button and all others are considered heavy. But metrics also shows me that many of my heavy attacks do less damage than those few light attacks I manage to do. I know most of my heavy attacks are not fully charged, as I try to be as fast as possible when weaving.
I also noticed my light weaving gets better if I use mouse for light attacks and keyboard for other skills. Could there be some llimitation my mouse has that prevents me from weaving properly?
