Was Dread nerfed recently?

[GhostlyGoatzz]

So.. i just noticed today and yesterday that my Dread damages like nothing compared to what it usually did. I looked at it today in the arsenal, and saw that my Slash DMG was 639,5 o.o?

With the build im using, i usually always had 2.500 slash damage. Was Dread Nerfed alot or what's going on here? 

 

Thanks in advance.

I really hope it's a bug. As a lover of the Dread and all bows, the title alone was enough to make my stomach turn.

I didn't, but i just relogged like 2-3 times and it went away? So it was a bug i believe

I'm pretty sure there are some major major bugs that came out in 18.8.0 that messed up damage and mod applications.

Perhaps you were fighting infested, and there was an ancient around?

With Maxed Serration & Split chamber (the only mods I have adding to IPS damage) my Dread's Slash Damage is at 906.3, this has been consistent for as long as I've had the weapon during Damage 2.0. (2 years).. To my knowledge the Dread's damage has not changed since Damage 2.0 was released.

Recall that the dread's power lies in it's critical rate and damage:
A guaranteed crit, at my crit damage rate of 5.6x means a base slash damage of  906.3 x 5.6 = 5075.28 Slash Damage with Yellow Crit.
I also have Corrosive at a Base 1208.4  -- Critical calculation: 1208.4 x 5.6 = 6767.04 Corrosive Damage with Yellow Crit...

Also the UI sometimes does not update the calculations on damages as quickly as it should.

OP is right, something is not right.

I have Sancti Tigris, after update 18.8.0, sometimes, is dealing 22 damage.

Also sometimes abilities are without mods, even Primed Flow is not working.
