A set of armor from the roots

[KotoMeow(RU)]

I have a set of this armor that gives +15 bow damage. I had +15 damage, but then for some reason the kit started giving only +14 damage from the bow instead of +15... Why?

Root armor set doesn’t directly increase damage. It increases bows skills by +15. And increase in bows skill gives you bonus to damage.
In your case bonus to bows skill and added damage were the same +15 so you mixed those two.

Maybe you died and your skill was lowered. And with lower skill, the damage was also lowered.

I've noticed the same thing since a patch or two ago: sometimes the armor set bonuses that boost a skill only show +14 in the skill list instead of the stated +15, with or without a recent death.

I figure it's an internal rounding error, and probably low priority on their list of needed fixes, after the litany of other bugs needing fixing.

The skill increase might show up as lower when the increase would push the skill over 100.
So if you had 86 in bow skills, the bonus from the set would show up as +14 to increase it to 100, instead of the +15 the set usually does.

I've noticed the same thing. Also goes for the Fenris set, that shows up as +14 in fists skill instead of +15. And I don't have either skill near maxed out.

The error we're discussing happens even when the skill would not be pushed to 100.
