Bow Changes?

[_Psychedelic]

I recently took roughly a 3 month break from this game and I come back to see my bows dealing 3k on crits. I tested this against level 5 to level 80 enemies and the numbers do not change very much. I am using the same build that I was using before the break I took (I was getting 12k+ on average). Were there any changes that I am not aware of?

(Sorry if this is not in the proper section)

12 x 0.25 = 3

 

Take off your extinguished dragon key? :P

Check your build out. My friend had the same problem but never looked at his build, until he got severely irritated, so he checked and his Despair were missing Hornet Strike.

 

Just check to make sure you aren't missing something.

I thought that it could have possibly been a problem with that but I do not have any dragon keys equipped. Have you experienced any issues with lower than usual bow crits?

[_Psychedelic]

I am using all of the proper bow mods which were commonly used before I took the break. I have not changed anything. I'm not using any elemental mods at the moment on my rakta cernos but I did not have them on when I was getting the 12k crits either.

Other than red crits not showing what damage it's truly doing, I haven't noticed any issues.

Show us the modding setup?

[_Psychedelic]

I am unable to check the mods for sure at the moment, but I believe that I am running serration, split chamber, heavy caliber, point strike, vital sense, and hammer shot. Serration is r9, heavy caliber is r8 and the rest are maxed.

RNG is RNG. I get anywhere from 250 damage to 25k.

Where's elementals? 3k sounds pretty normal without elementals.

[_Psychedelic]

I do not have the mod capacity for elementals. I understand where you're coming from when you say that it's normal but I assure you that I was getting 12k+ crits without elementals. And as far as RNG goes, it doesn't vary too much. It's a constant 3k. The highest hit I've gotten was about 9k but that was on an enemy that I had primed on my nova first.

I got to support op in this case...

 

A few months ago I was hitting 30k+ with my bow (Dread, fully modded, red crits, ELEMENTAL.)

 

Now, I'm lucky if I reach 6k. tested on level 1 enemies, headshots. Dmg: Now: 12k | Before: 40k

 

On lvl 70 mobs: Now: 3k | Before: 8k~15k, if lucky it reached 23k

As for your question, no idea, I haven't noticed anything. Try taking off heavy caliber and aimed for heads, funner imo :)

 

Add MOAR forma for 2x 90% elementals

[_Psychedelic]

Thank you guys for your suggestions. I will be sure to add more forma and see how much it affects my damage.

[SpicyDinosaur]

elemental is not the end all be all, buy a 120% dmg mod and push the straight damage up. Elemental is the lazy half assed way to push damage.

RNG is RNG. I get anywhere from 250 damage to 25k.

Probably worth noting that weapon damage in this game is not subject to RNG.

[Dead10ck]

I noticed this with Dread as soon as u14 hit, and then again with u18. Same build and everything.

Crits are.

Not as lazy as Serration.
