Does the "2 handed" skill help bow?

If you are a ranger, what does strength do to the bow damage? If it increase the minimum and max damage, is it better to put all in strength and nothing in "class enhancement"?

no.

as far as i know nothing, no.

Str has no effect on Bow use. Bow is entirely Dex to hit and Int/Cnc for Arrow and Bow max damage. dont raise str.

And no, two handed skill refers to melee (auto attack) weapons, NOT to bows (auto shoot). Bows have an entire dedicated tab of their own relevant skills.

2H doesn't affect bows

when you level meele ..put into Dex ..Dex helps you miss less as an archery user... if you want max damage to be increased put points into INT when you level up the stat named Magic.. INT is max damage for bow and CNC is arrow damage..how hard you hit also.. i myself..do this..Put on my armor and bowset INT enchants and put points into CNC when i lvl magic up. When lvling def go 2points into dur and 1 into agi...then next time u lvl def put 2 points into dur and one into CNT... or put 2 pts into agi and 1 into CNT

Frankly, I don't think he cares anymore.



Perhaps drunkin is just living up to his name when he feels the need to bump a 7-month old thread without something even remotely useful to write.

Where did this idea come from?

My understanding was that Int/Cnc were averaged to determine max RANGED damage (which is bow+arrow).

Keeping one or the other low should not adversely effect your performance as an archer.

I've gone high Cnc with my Ranger since I do not use any DD gems. My taunts, DoTs, etc are less likely to be resisted this way

i believe duvopaz has it right - i've heard the same thing. only the way i heard it, int was arrow and cnc was bow. but it's one and the other.
