Q: I have a question regarding Dexterity and how it effects Archery since the latest Ranger updates. I've always heard Dex is the main damage stat for Bow damage. But, I noticed my damage did not change whether I was buffed to the teeth or completely unbuffed. It did affect my bow speed however, how could all main stats be left out of bow damage calculation?
A: The Balancinator explains: Dexterity does determine max bow damage per hit. The max damage tops out at a dexterity value that many race/realm ability combinations can achieve without buffs. You may not have been able to see it because you're already above the value without buffs. This should not dissuade an archer from buffing their dexterity. Your firing speed is still affected by higher dexterity values. It may not increase your maximum damage per hit to buff yourself, but you're increasing your overall damage per second.
