Does anyone know how weapons work?
Specifically...
Sagittarian Shortbow:
Total damage: 2281
Weapon damage: 1819
Skill damage: 462
Hexhunter bow:
Total damage: 2047
Weapon damage: 1800
Skill damage: 247
I know that a 2h weapon does 200% weapon damage, and that dual wield (together) adds up to the same 200%. So therefore a shieldbow would have less damage (being equal to a mainhand weapon and a shield offhand)... This difference in stats seems to be factored in with the skill damage (Hex bow's skill damage is roughly 125% of the shortbow's)..
If the damage penalty for 1h gets factored into the interface calculation that displays our weapon damage, why does hex bow only hit about half of what the shortbow does, when the damage output is only 10% less?
I got one on my noob last night... And since the interface showed the damage being close enough I thought I'd try it out.. But it was terrible, and now I'm curious why lol
