Tactics and Archery

Does tactics affect archery hit chance on this shard?
I'v never made an archer here befor.

 

[Comfortably Numb]

Tactics is purely a damage modifier.

GM Archery is the highest chance to hit as is any GM melee.

so your saying that tactics and anatomy are both damage modifires on this shard?

 

[Character Name]

As on any shard... unless it's custom changed by some shard.

 

[kan3-hybrid]

well that seems strange considering that magic weapons that have accuracy modifiers give bonus to tactics

I figured that pre AOS it was different but it seems silly to label something more accurate when in fact its simply more powerful

 

[Character Name]

Aye.. I thought it affected your chance to hit for the longest time due to that.. but it turns out it's nothing more than a damage modifier (the main one for weapons.)

 

[alcide170]

But if you're more accurate, shouldn't you hit more vital organs or more fatal spots and in the end cause more damage? That's what I got from the "accuracy" modifiers.

 

[Character Name]

Very good point.. but most people wouldn't think of it like that.. I wouldn't at least... shrug

Anatomy goes along those lines.. GM anat supposively makes you hit more vital spots therefor hitting for more damage.

heh, then why is it that when i am using a non magicly enhanced accu wep i rarely hit, but never quit hitting with supremely accurate?

 

[Character Name]

Just your luck I suppose.. lol

 

[fonis]

Or that you expect more and notice more when you use your supremely accurate wep.

 

[ragnarok18]

And how about the fact that you only gain tactics when you hit, but you gain anatomy even on a miss?

 

[Khrono]

hehe, could be, interesting stuff regardless
