it's been found by many that one of our core feats is nonfunctioning. the bow strength feat granted to us at level one is not functioning. bow strength gives us a boost to add our str mod to our total damage. it is not a feat to replace dexterity for damage that we acquire later. besides that it isn't displaying properly, it also is not functioning at all. it ads no damage to our total damage bonus either on display or on rolls on mobs.
demand satisfaction and the return of one of our most important feats. put in your bug reports today.
for discussion on whether or not it works, bring that here and show your proof if you think it does.
i suspect it became turned off many years ago when no one really played bow spec, not that many do now, for obvious reasons. we get it without many of the prerequisites and so the system might think it should be turned off.
while it's very embarrassing no one has really noticed enough to bring it to the dev's attention before, dont let that stop you from having this supremely debilitating bug corrected.
