Hello everyone,
I realize that this is somewhat of a dated topic, but there is something I needed to know about this weapon before committing to an SL 120 build that uses it. According to the Mugenmonkey's AR calculator, this bow deals 258 damage at 47 strength and 20 dex without factoring in arrows. However, 27 strength and 40 dex yields 286 damage. This difference is odd considering the B strength over C dex scaling of this weapon.
When I put these stats into the actual Mugenmonkey character planner with Gough's arrows, 47 strength with 20 dex deals 471 damage while 27 strength and 40 dex deals 523 damage. From reading the posts before this one, it would seem that Mugenmonkey has been wrong before (ex. factoring in arrow damage twice). Even more odd is that a 47/20 composite bow with large arrows deals 385 damage while a 27/40 deals 438, even though it scales both dex and strength at C (via Mugenmonkey character planner).
Do bows have an innately higher Dex scaling that isn't shown, or is the Mugenmonkey planner just completely wrong?
