Sharpshooter bug?

PostThu Feb 13, 2014 12:53 pm

So i just had my first match after getting my Bowman of Alahan to lvl 2 where i picked sharpshooter. The map was behemoth and my opponent was a Wolf player.

So the bug i experienced was that in one case my archer showed 1% chance of hitting his target which was a wolf warrior, with the sharpshooter ability my math says that the percentage chance of hitting should be higher than 1%. However the archer actually struck his target and later did so on other occasions 2 times with 10% chance and one time with 25% chance all in one match.

So does the archer actually have a higher chance of hitting? Or was i just EXTREMELY lucky? And if it does then it would be because the sharpshooter trait isn't taking into account when writing the % chance. Should be easy to add if the calculation when actually attacking is already correct.

you should keep an eye on the actual attack roles. Some ability bonusses do not show up on the actual hit chance when you hower over a unit. The same goes for Taunt for example. If you taunt a unit, and then see its hit chance on another unit from the taunter, it won't show the 15% hit reduction in the calculation. it DOES factor it in on the actual attack roll though.

So while yes, its a bug with the shown calculation, the actual attack roll might still get the bonus.

If you can confirm that it does, do you have any idea how much it helps? been considering taking it for an archer myself.

Well it should help alot since it removes not just 1 obstacle but all, i dont remember how much each obstacle removes in terms of hit chance, but its quite significant.
