Forum:Crawmerax on playthrough 1

So, I went through playthrough 1 and defeated crawmerax basically because I was bored. I noticed a couple of things. Crawmerax seemed to damage you just as much as playthrough 2 and he was also level 64. However, I seemed to do much more damage to him. The levels of loot seemed close to what I get in playthrough 2 but I wasn't really sure. Is there a difference in loot levels between playthrough 1 and 2 and does anyone else seem to do more damage in playthrough 1 against him? Lorddiggler
