Known Bugs List - Precision shot

Regarding Biztart's thread on 'Known Bugs List'

• Ranger
  • Precision Shot - Not 100% physical damage: 50% physical, 50% elemental

Has this change already taken effect? (close thread if it has)

I think they plan on changing the skill to deal 100% physical damage instead of the 50%/50%. To me it seems that this would be a nerf to the ranger's main damaging skill.

If 100% physical damage:
300(damage of precision 150x2)x0.2(80% armor)= 60% of base dmg dealt with Precision shot

300 x 0.3 (70% armor) = 90%
300 x 0.4 (60% armor) = 120%
300 x 0.5 (50% armor) = 150%


If 50% physical and 50% elemental:

150 x 0.2(80%armor)=30%
150 x 0.5 (50% resistance)= 75%

75+30=105% of base dmg with precision
​

150 x 0.3(70%armor)=45%
150 x 0.5 (50% resistance)= 75%

75+30=120% of base dmg with precision​

150 x 0.4(60%armor)=60%
150 x 0.5 (50% resistance)= 75%

75+30=135% of base dmg with precision
​

150 x 0.5(50% armor)= 75%
150 x 0.5(50% resistance)= 75%

75+30=150% of base dmg with precision
​

With the 50/50 physical/elemental i've kept the resistance at 50% because this would be the max limit most if not all players would aim to get. Changing the resistance to a lower value would increase the % damage dealt by precision shot. However it is not needed, even at 50% resistance there is still quite a difference between the % damage between the 100% physical damage precision shot and the 50/50 precision shot.

damage dealt/ armor %	100% physical Precision shot	50% physical/elemental Precision shot
40% armor	180%	165%
50%	150%	150%
60%	120%	135%
70%	90%	120%
80%	60%	105%

From this table here we can compare the differences. Again i have kept the resistance at 50%. It does show that at 40% armor the 100% precision shows a higher result but this can be discarded as most max level players would have higher armor than resistance.

Im not good at maths and so i may have wasted 5-10 minutes of your time and this entire post may be invalid. Id just like someone to clarify, correct me, or share their thoughts on how this future change to the precision shot skill would affect rangers?

 

actually it's 75/25 (and always been
and thy element is Fire

 

I think the bug is just that the text needs to be corrected (no change to skill is planned), but since it's a ranger skill bug and a text error it was placed in the Ranger Skill area rather than the Graphics/Text area. It could go in both, but then the lists could get very long because many bugs could fall under multiple categories
