Titanstring Bow bugged (not)

[dodAEK]

the Titanstring Bow doesn't seem to use the str modifier
4th line of attack info says dex +1 it should say str +4 with str 18

correction
the damage modifier works perfectly, my mistake

[Boomshaker]

can confirm

Yeah, I just got this bow as well and noticed it's not adding strength like it says.

it isnt bug this bow still sacle with ur dex but when u shoot it it add str scale on top of dex scale for damage roll so if u have both dex and str at 18 u get + 8 for damage roll

Not sure what you're talking about cause the bow simply does not add the strength modifier to the damage like its supposed to. You can see this for yourself by just transferring it between a high strength character and another party member. It also doesn't add the damage after the shot either, I can consistently get it to do less than the theoretical minimum if it took into account strength

The tooltip doesn't show the damage increase, but it does actually work. If you inspect the damage value in the combat log, it will show +5 (Strength Modifier) (Titan Weapon) assuming you have 20 strength

I wish people would post some screenshots of the weapon doing less damage or the combat log

It works fine. Bonus strength dmg gets applied alnogside dex bonus.

I think it’s just easy to misread. The effect is that it Adds strength to damage on top of the usual dex damage, and still using dex to hit, not replacing dexterity in those cases. The extra part in the tooltip is just to say that it won’t decrease your damage if you have a negative strength score, just messily borrowed from other similar effects rather than properly iterated here.

The bow quite literally says this:

"...deals additional damage equal to your strength modifier."

And that is EXACTLY what it does, no more, no less. It does not change your chance to hit, it simply rolls like ANY other bow, then adds your strength bonus on top of the final damage roll. if your strength is 18, it will add 4 damage on top of it's normal damage roll. THAT IS IT. I swear, people have reading comprehension issues. If you have strength = 0, then this is simply a standard magical +1 bow. Look at your combat log after shooting an enemy with it.

Yes it works the same way for me. Is why my dex ranger has 14 str. (And to carry some stuff:D)

So to be clear it adds your dex and proficiency bonus and the weapons +1 bonus to your attack score. So for a level 10 ranger with 20 dex this should be:
5+4+1 =10.

The damage roll will be if he has 14 dex = d6 or d8? cant recall + 1+4+2-> these are all piercing type. And then any other bonus damage is applied.
The only exception is using flame, acid and any of the kind special bows because then the normal piercing damage is not added, just the flame damage and the other bonus damage(if you are lucky)

reviewing the damage log, it does in fact add the strength modifier.

Was the first thing i checked when i got it.

Also this topic like a few others actually were made because of reading comprehension issues.

But for instance there is the Sword of Life stealing which actually deals extra damage to the opposite what it writes:D So it deals necro damage only to Undead and constructs, where it should be the other way around as per description. (Some folks tested it out:D)

Combat Log shows it worked for me, it just doesn't show the Str being added before the hit, so it is a slightly inaccurate prediction of damage.
