The Hidden Forest

Rangers are now doing less than 1/2 the dmg we did before the patch with bows. The old max crit for our rangers was around 3.5k, now our max is 2k >< Normal bow shots are only hitting for about 1k. No clue what couldve done this..but it's not good!

IIRC there was a rather large change KLS did to the damage/AC code. Keep an eye on melee damage too (both incoming and outgoing).

I remember there being a huge deal on Stormhaven about it.

melee dmg is fine, it's just ranged.

ok, before i update all bows again to match the previous ratio, i hope you guys can be a bit patient so striat gets to fix/patch the code.

I already told Jeido, there is a new rule for innate bow dmg modification, also they changes on the bow dmg calculation to (?). it's all in the update msg anyways.

let me know how should we tune the dmg, and I'll look into it.

I sent Striat some before and after #'s, i'll post them here also for you Lillu.

Before: Max Crit: 3444 Max Hit: 1722 Min Crit: 31

Now: Max Crit: 2108 Max Hit 1054 Min Crit 31

Can't really test DPS itself until I actually hit the same mobs as I parsed before, but as you can see the DPS is going to be way lower. I parsed 900-1080 DPS on PoFire mobs (2k AC), on ST mobs with 5k AC I would parse anywhere from 750-1300 DPS. Other, lesser ST mobs would keep me at 1.3k-1.6k DPS consistantly. These lesser mobs probly still have 3k AC+. (the ones I refer to are the Wyverns if you want/need to check)

One last thing. I notice from my logs that I never missed on my ranger. I wonder if that's where the 31 damage comes from? Potential misses?
