pummel isnt dmg based, its based on gear and str, and melee combat, once u got all of these pummel is insane, but on bosses still weakI dont understand why people treat pummel likes its a terrible skill... Its pretty op and it has a pretty fast reload time for a warrior skill.
mine is up to 4k dmg, i have my dl gloves, over 800 str, mordy brace with +6 pummel +250 pummel dmg +300 melee combat, and grand dragon ring of pummel (+8), so my pummel is pretty good, im planning on making it the strongest in belenus, i have 4k dmg and Ironman has 4.3k dmg (after i suggested him use pummel :S ), almost there.
