Default Ranger Bow Crit Damage

At least around the time rangers received their attack bonus, which was presumably meant to help compensate for the removal of triple attack, Velious rangers were reporting higher damage from archery; AFAIK those numbers differ significantly from project1999's.

Archery damage?
Whoa. Stealth buff, anyone?
I did 8k w/Trueshot tonight (my normal average is 5-6k), and if I hadn't run out of good arrows it would've been 10k. I just couldn't seem to hit for less than 300. Lucky run, or is anyone else noting a sudden archery damage increase?

Re: Archery damage?
It's actually probably you getting closer to what you should get. Not sure what bow you use, by my normal hit vs Yelinak / Phara Dar with Trueshot / Primal is 300-400 range, with crits at the 800+ mark.

Haven't noticed any difference, but then 8k for a round of Trueshot isn't too unusual for me anyway if I am properly buffed [You must be logged in to view images.

Re: Archery damage?
Probably would, but can't really be sure. I've no clue exactly how an innate offense bonus would affect things.

Anyone know how one would measure their innate offensive bonus?

Re: Archery damage?
Easy, look at your atk rating before compared to now. Its higher. I don't have the exact number, as I can't remember precisely what I used to have, but it looks like 20-30 extra atk prior to any buffs.

Re: Archery damage?
Thanks Ulaian, unbuffed prepatch 1hs atk was 1095. Now I need to look at what it currently is.

Same conditions as above atk is now 1123, 1069 without swiftwind.

edit: seems I had the #'s wrong
