    Default Ability Score used for To Hit and Damage?

    Does the character sheet show what ability score a character uses for To Hit and Damage rolls? I cannot find it anywhere.

    I think my Great Crossbow Rogue 20 is borked. No matter what destiny she uses, she cannot kill stuff fast enough and gets swarmed. Throwing sticky grenades does not help. My Inquisitive Rogue 18 / Barbarian 2 also seems borked. She does better but definitely not great.

    It will show up on your equipped weapon mouse over. Normally Xbow has no ability to damage, unless you took an enhancement to do so. Inherently it’s dex to hit, unless again you took an enhancement for something else.

    Thank you. My excuse for a brain was definitely filtering that out.

    The Great Crossbow Rogue 20 is using Dexterity To Hit (+14) and Intelligence to Damage (+18) which means...something.

    The Inquisitive Rogue 18 / Barbarian 2 is using Dexterity To Hit (+14).

    Now I need to check the rest of my characters to see what other mayhem I have created.

    Most likely got it from Targeting Sights, a mechanic core enhancement.

    This wikipedia page might help.

    Thank you, Kayze. Yes, that is where she got it. I think the intention was to use Harper Agent on both characters and base everything on Intelligence, but I never got around to unlocking Harper Agent. I added that to the endless To Do list.

    It appears the rest of my characters are working as planned for To Hit and Damage.

    Something else must be wrong with the Great Crossbow Rogue because +14/+18 is right there with all my other Epic characters.

    To be clear, she would be perfectly fine in a group, hanging back and sniping. Solo, she constantly gets swarmed even with traps and stuff deployed.

    One of the main downsides of the great crossbow rogue is the relative lack of AoE damage. Do you have Improved Precise Shot?

    I remember. It gets smaller.

    Especially now that you're Level 20, you can go back and crush lower level content for Favor.

    o 310 favor for Harper tree (all alts on that server!)
    o 700 favor for Falconry (but you pro'ly already have a lot!)
    o 180 favor for Vistani Knife Fighter (Quest Level 10-12)
    o 225 favor for Inquisitive (yes pls!)
    o 135 favor for Feydark Illusionist (Quest Level 5-9 - easy!)
    o 400 (out of possible 460++) favor for Horizon Walker (QL 1-14)

    Just pick one and march towards it. At Lvl 20, many are just a matter of spending the time (and following the Wiki if you don't know the quest!), no challenge involved. (With some, you have a chance to get some good named loot along the way!)

    If you're F2P and can't open Elite it's tougher, but if you ask nicely you can often find a Guildie or kind soul who will act as an Opener* while you knock these out on Elite.

    (* They don't need to quest with you, just let you be part of their party while you solo, and you can open Elite.)

    GL!
