Game Mechanics: Main hand damage bonus is affecting bow damage

[Tune]

im not sure why ct did damage to him or why this is even relevant. he could have just ran in and taken melee swings or died when u wiped, or been on rampage range

there is no proof bowing caused him aggro and likely didnt

I'm sure the original eq devs planned for large races to outshine all others by way of a bow and a trashdrop vendor item.

Devs planned a lot of things that didn't pan out.

Different crew on items to game mechanics. Especially re kunark items vs release era game mechanics.

Agreed that holstering a huge axe magically makes your bow better than holstering a sword and dagger seems silly. Lots of stuff in eq is silly though.

Is it classically silly though?

If we nerf this, where do we stop? Charm? Leave the enchanters alone.

Charm has been looked at recently as well. Can't charm merchants now? Think that's right anyhow. And yes, classicly silly.

If this was actually in classic, no evidence of such, and commonly used i believe the devs would have addressed it in some way. Just like removing items from drop tables or retro nerfing items because they were deemed too powerful.

If you can get them off green be my guest

[EatitNerd]

[Tune]
