Game Mechanics: Archery uses STR instead of DEX!!!!

[Sisythi]

Is it still this way? Can someone confirm? Just starting p99 and kind of depressed thinking I may need to reroll to fix my stats. :[

Str absolutely should affect bow damage. Ever tried to full draw an 80 lb recurve?

Dexterity would have more to do with aim and precision. Damage is all str.

But yes, primary slot damage bonus is the far bigger issue that needs correcting. As of right now we are not getting our non rooted, stationary double damage bonus, nor is trueshot affecting our bonus appropriately.
