Hey I have some questions that I am trying to find definitive answers for that I could not find using the search function. I'm at work atm, so can't just jump on and test this stuff myself. Some are likely very easy to answer but I'd just like some confirmation.
A) Bow damage....to hit is affected by dex one assumes, is the damage affected by strength however? I always assumed it was as I have never seen it stated to work differently from melee in this regard.
Maybe a better question would be, is there anything I need to know regarding archery in how it works (or doesn't work) differently than melee.
B) Does +dual wield mod affect archery. The wiki just states it as +haste, however I have been told it does not. a 1% or 2% difference is pretty difficult to parse out so maybe someone with a ton of dual wield could chime in.
C) Does Stance haste (IE aggressive stance) actually affect bows. I have heard varying statements and seen threads saying both. My fault for not parsing this out myself.
D) Does bane damage apply any differently than base damage for arrows? Elemental damage on arrows can be resisted, but I'm curious if there is functionally any difference between a 12 damage arrow and something like a 6 damage arrow with 6 bane damage fighting the correct type. Parses seem to show there isn't but I could be wrong.
