Wondering the calculation that dexterity on bow damage & accuracy. I believe it was mentioned that every dex increases bow damage by 1.02. But I did some tests and it is not showing that.
Another question is regarding the accuracy. How does dex affect bow hit? The difference between high dex and low dex for hit is quite minimal.
you can use the candle calculater to simulate dex spell benifits

43 dex elf vs lvl70 knight with -90AC
28 dex elf
Based on above, 28 dex vs 43 dex
Damage difference = 4592/27374 = 16.7% dmg increased
Hit difference = 24 more hit/380 = 6% more hit
This is a difference of 14 dexterity. So based on 1.02 dmg increase, it should be 1.02^14 = 1.32 = 32% damage increase.
The increase for hit is very minimal too
do it again with gale shot and zerk on you
0er and -10 ac is a lot when youre a knight
become sand bag
your math is good but consider triple shot is almost 3 atk per second
so dps x 300%
No skulls to redo again qq
but based on my test, i just think there could be sth wrong with the dmg and hit calculation
base bow damage, not final damage
for the x1.02
I see, no wonder the dmg does not increase that much. How about hit?
Working as intended: the DEX bonus multiplies base bow damage, not final damage, so the total gain is smaller than 2% per point.
