The wiki, the guides, and conventional RPG wisdom says Archery and thrown weapons should use Dexterity. That way, there's build diversity: some players go Str and use melee weapons, some players go Dex and focus on ranged weapons.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.

I hope you are sitting down...because this is bad news....
Today me and another archer were hunting together....and we discovered the biggest Norrath shattering bug in the world!!!
Archery....is using STR as a modifier....instead of DEX!!!!
All this time I have been maximizing my DEX!! Because archery SHOULD use dex like melee weapons use STR.....but it doesn't!!
We discovered it when we were both archering, and I noticed him hitting way more than me. Surely this was impossible, since my DEX is 226 unbuffed...and his is only 100 or so. BUT he had 225+ str!! and mine is only 99!!
So we stripped him naked and had him archery with low str...and it was true!!! Archering is using the wrong stat!!! Crazy? I agree!! Super crazy!!
Please can you fix this ASAP? This is probably the biggest most important bug ever to have been discovered!!
