It appears that archery is using the incorrect bow speed value when determining damage. The value used in the formula should be printed speed of the bow, not the value adjusted by quickness or other RAs. Since this affects all archers can we get a quick check on the formula to make sure this is correct?
1. Create an archer
2. Buff quickness and dex
3. Note the damage does not go up and may go down although fire rate does increase. A conclusion one could draw is that the damage formula might be using the adjusted bow speed (fire rate) from buffs/RAs instead of using the printed value on the bow (like 5.4).
Quickness and dex should improve the DPS of the bow in archery. The documented damage formula for bows should be:
Base Damage at 100% variance mark =
EDPS * (your WS/target AF) * (1-absorb) * slow weap bonus * SPD * 2h weapon bonus * Arrow Bonus
SLow Weapon bonus = 1 + ( (spd - 2) x 0.03)
SPD = listed weapon speed. (not effective speed based on current buffs)
