Archery Damage?

[Smug When I Tug]

I'm wondering how the bow and arrow damage is calculated as i have a bow which does 6-8 damage and arrows which do 1-2 damage and i'm somehow hitting 5's if anyone can explain this would be helpful?

must be a bug I guess? Might be wise to report this through the form in the esc menu.

Okay thanks and should i report the fact arrows scale with sword skill?

[MrReddiculous]

nah, I don't think the arrows itself are taken in account. When you hit with the arrows, you do a melee attack. Devs just decided they could be used as a 'sword' that way

Ahh okay but the arrows do increase the bow damage so do i need max sword and bow skill for most damage with archery

Hello Smug,

I would assume that you just have to max bow skill, if not then that is most likely a bug as well and would be really cool if reported.

Finally Maxed Bow Skill

We know about the arrows and sword skill, it's kind of intentional. And as far as damage, some of the monsters may be using a legacy defense stat that should have been removed. Meaning they're mitigating some damage and you're seeing it.

This stat may stay in, but it'll be behind the scenes so you won't see if they're taking less damage. It'll come into play when/if we scale mobs with players in combat.

If you already reported it, awesome. If not, no worries. We've had a few already that the bow damage is wrong.

Also, right now, arrows don't do additional damage, regardless of their stat panel, but one day they might.
