Bump; just curious as to the status on this bug.
Are we still trying to provide evidence as to whether or not Archery / DEX being correlated is even "classic"? (ie. my EQ game manual states Dexterity is responsible for "...Coordination; affects how much damage you deliver a bow/thrown weapon..." Or that the correlation is even intended on the P99 server. (ie. maybe they actually wanted STR to affect and be the determining factor for Archery damage.) Or are we still lacking proof that the issue even actually exists? Logs/Parses?? | ||

There are hundreds of proven bugs that have not been fixed due to lack of available devs. This is probably one of those situations.

Archery should use dex. It's not because of how archery works in real life, but because of how RPGs are supposed to work. Big burly characters hit things with axes and swords; agile and dexterous characters prance around and twang their bows; frail, robed magician characters use spells...and the powers of each type of character are supposed to be reasonably balanced in a D&D-like universe.
Plus, if both melee damage and archery use the same statistic, then everyone will seek out the same gear. You'd think that in a balanced Everquest, warriors and rangers would be wearing different gear.

My arms are weak. I cannot pull any kind of compound bow. I would make a terrible ranger.

I also have really severe tremors and caffine shakes, some of it PTSD related. So that would also be a double no go for the bow.

Seems Random
So is this getting fixed, or do I need to sell off all my dex gear and go STR for bow kiting?
Had no idea this was broken until I saw the note on the wiki. -encopitt | ||

Also bow dmg is increased based off the delay of your main hand. I will post logs later today but its very easy to test put 1 handers on shoot your bow then put a weighted axe or high delay wep on and u will see the dmg increase.

Bump!!!
Has this not been fixed yet? My first character in the original EQ was a ranger, and they are seriously crying right now. | ||

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. | ||
