IIRC (dev box isnt unpacked yet, cant verify), archery is doing 80% of it's damage in PvP.

Will add this to the list of things to look into.

Archery and throwing are certainly 2 different things. Dunno if one being nerfed applies to the other tbh, though I wouldn't think so.

I recall being chased through Gfay with a primal bow (Velious I know) and it hitting for 70-80 damage pretty consistently for what that's worth.

windstrikers are hitting for what seems to be like a max of 40 on someone standing up

max damage to a sitting target is like 180?

it misses at least half the time

archery needs a buff whereas throwing needs a nerf

The following rule on line 327 in ruletypes.h may be defined on p99 as it is in the stock emu source:

RULE_REAL ( Combat, ArcheryHitPenalty, 0.25) //Archery has a hit penalty to try to help balance it with the plethora of long term +hit modifiers for it

Mods affecting chance-to-hit didn't exist in classic, so that one's a no-brainer.

If throwing damage on p99 is being calculated using stock source, then line 1096 in special_attacks.cpp

uint16 MaxDmg = (((2 * wDmg) * GetDamageTable(SkillThrowing)) / 100);

is probably responsible. Archery damage isn't being doubled in this way.
