I think it also had another factor in play that made throwing better. So I moved archery to the same model as throwing, which should put them more on par with each other.

was it that archery's damage was nerfed or the accuracy? i feel like 90%+ of bow shots from a 60 ranger miss against me, which just seems crazy considering throwing attacks land well more than half the time

[Haynar]

Damage was borked.

Have to see what is up with accuracy.

also, many other disciplines are broken that don't necessarily pertain to PvP

warrior's precision gives you 100% hitrate for like.. 3 minutes? that is insanely retarded, especially in pve where with it warriors are able to outdamage rogues. it's supposed to increase your offense skill or something like that which buffs your hitrate, not make it a flat 100% chance to hit

none of the monk disciplines that affect special attacks do anything at all, like thunderkick, silentfist, ashenhand

i don't think the hundred fists discipline for monks works either

[Haynar]

Just found another issue with archery i think.

It takes (bow dmg + arrow dmg)/2

Umm, that does not look right to me. At all.

I thought they always added, and were not divided by 2.

Someone correct me if i am wrong.

probably another non-trilogy era change in order to balance out archery with AAs and such

also, you can look into the warrior crippling blow stun lasting much longer than it's supposed to on players; right now every single hit from a crippling blow stuns you for 1-2 seconds, when it's supposed to be much shorter, like a 0.1 second ministun

The crippling blow stun is lasting 3 seconds.

It also seems that all stuns have a minimum duration of 1 second, because even the enchanter nukes that have a correct stun duration of 1 millisecond in the p99 spell file are also stunning for 1 second.

It's still possible to miss, but it puts the warrior well above the 90% ceiling on hit, which I don't think should be possible for anything but the guaranteed hit discs.

From a thread about monk discs on monkly business:

Silentfist has nearly always stunned the target when i've used it, excepting ubermobs. I have yet to see it do appreciably different damage than dragon punch normally does.

Ashenhand has done 299 and 279 damage respectively, the two times I've used it since I dinged yesterday.

Oh, ding 60

No mention of stun duration but probably same as a bash.

And it gets better. Throw damage has a x2 bonus on displayed damage.

So throwing has an additional x2 damage bonus (even before any str/skill bonuses). And archery had a 1/2 multiplier.

No wonder archery sucks compared to throwing.

The archery damage calc was changed back in 2011 because rangers were doing trueshot-level damage.

I missed a divide by two when calculating the weapon damage for archery attacks. Guess Rogean ninja-patched some code and that went in. Expecting archery DPS to be anywhere close to melee damage pre-AA/Trueshot is mass madness, you maniacs.

Yeah, there's no way that was correct. Barb rogues have gotten 500+ dmg deadly strikes using throwing boulders.

Well maybe archery needs a mod to prevent TS lvl dmg. So divide wep by 2, but leave arrow dmg alone. Can give that a whirl.

The 2x for throwing is just wrong imho.

[Colgate]

archery damage is fine honestly when it hits

the problem is it rarely ever hits

also yeah the minimum stun duration of 1 second would explain why things like denon's bereavement are lasting a full second instead of being the 0.0 second stun that it's supposed to be
