Ranged weapons damage

#1 Post by Melac »

I've noticed ranged weapons seem to deal Very little damage. With a sling of base power 14-16, my attacks are doing 2-3 damage per hit to anything I fight.

I use a lot of addons, so is this normal? Are ranged attacks meant to be basically worthless?
It's making it VERY hard to run a Skirmisher, as any time I meet a Troll, or similar health tank style creature in early levels, they regen as fast as I can damage them.

What's the armor and armor hardiness of the people you attack? Did you max as much as possible your sling weapon mastery talent?

it's not about the sling so much as it is about the Ammo you are using. What are the stats on your shot, first of all?

I hate to blame addons, but good lord you have a lot of addons. Maybe something's acting up.

Base damage isnt added to your damage, its more like a multiplier. You can check your real dmg from your character screen. Damage dealt very roughly follows the formula "your damage - enemy armor".
