bow strength.

[blackestblack]

ok, i've finally remembered how to make bow strength work, they changed it sometime in 2012 and i didn't notice because i had a zen archer at the time. altho it is a granted feat and should work, you have to meet the prerequisites. after you meet the prereqs you'll receive your strength modifier for damage that stacks with all other bonuses. this is as it should be and how bow strength works. it's not a stat swap if higher feat as many newbs would try to tell you.

it never was a swap feat.

to meet prereqs i take combat expertise and weapon focus ranged.

now, where the hell did i mule my gloves of titans grip..... (+6psyonic bonus to str / ~1.5min)

A ranger receives this feat for free at first level whether they meet the prerequisite or not.

So its not working properly on a Ranger even though its autogranted unless you add in the min prereqs?

Are you using dex to damage from Deepwood Stalker for this as your primary stat?

yes yes and yes. sorta, who is to say what's proper and what isnt? ddo isn't exactly dnd. it both is and is not. it's a video game. i can adjust for prereqs as long as i know i need to, yaknow? but yeah, something is improper. it's the knowledge base tho. not the feat. after making bow strength active i was able to compete and beat a pair if inquisitors in terms of team value. most kills highest dps etc, as it should be, imho. before fixing it i always came up a bit short in a matchup. so i can understand the devs choice to make you take the prereqs. just because it's a granted feat doesn't mean it has to be active the moment it's granted. it's not like i had any trouble without bow strength. tr 30ish lol.

but yes, u need the prereqs and yes, it stacks with all other bonuses.

oh ***, now it's broken again....

oh ***, now it's broken again....

How did you break it?

[blackestblack]

how did "I" brake it?

yesterday rams might was adding 3 damage and tensors was adding 4 (at least in display)

now today rams might is adding 2 and tensors is adding 3.... why tensors is adding 3 and not 4 or 2 is ***?

strength item is adding nothing. i was just using a diamond of str yesterday where as today i'm higher level and using an item.



i'm chalking this one up to dev trolling.

[Coffey]

That is strange. Tensors is +4 dex +4 str and Rams Might is +2 str and +2 damage.

[blackestblack]

ya

[blackestblack]

so i'm no longer going to make helpful posts. they're just abused by troll dev.

note update between 09/30/2020 and 10/02/2020

troll devs

never paying anything to these devs again.

Maybe Bow Strength is just another damage mod after all and WAI.
