Talk:Artemis Bow/@comment-100.3.233.73-20151229070714

Ok, something is not right with the damage of the bow.

1. I have no primary, melee, sentinel or sentinel weapon equipped at all, only an unmodded secondary weapon.

2. I have no mods on ivara at all.

Now the ingame stats show the same as the wiki does. So I go in simulator and spawn a single level 85 infested charger (because they have no armor or shields and higher level because I don't want to one shot the target).

So I'm noticing that every single shot is doing 243 damage (485 crits). But something is not adding up. If my base damage is 160, even after I account of the 25% bonus slash damage to infested (Impact and Puncture damage are neutral to infested), I shouldn't come close to doing 243 base damage. Whether I use the damage splits listed in the wiki or the ones listed in the post below mine, my ingame damage continues to be higher in game than on paper.

Then when I put on -30% strength, the ingame base damage shows 112, but I'm doing 170 damage per hit.

So in both situations I seem to be doing between 51% to 52% more damage (probably just 50% as rounding would throw things off by a couple percent).

But the thing is I can't figure out where the 50% damage bonus is coming from. Slash damage only gives 25% bonus, Puncture and Impact give no bonus or penality. So then I go and try regular weapons with just IPS damage. I tried an unmodded attica (6.25 impact, 93.75 puncture, 25 slash) and on paper it said I should do 131 damage. In the simulator it's confirmed that I do 131 damage.

So somewhere there is about a 50% bonus damage being added to artemis bow. So does anyone know where this bonus comes from? Could it be just a flat damage bonus that was failed to be reported in the wiki info?
