Overview

Ranged Power, introduced in Update 23, is similar in effect to Spell Power and increases straight weapon damage in addition to certain static effects from enhancements. It can be gained from certain feats, enhancements, epic destinies, items and spells.

• Applies to all ranged and thrown weapons.
• Ranged Power is not applied to static damage riders like a bow's fire damage enchantment, but can apply to some Imbues.
• Ranged Sneak Attack damage benefits even more from ranged power, at 150% effectiveness.

The ranged power rating provides a percentage adjustment to straight damage identical to that for melee power (refer to following chart):

• Positive ratings use the formula: Damage * (100 + Rating / 100)
  • For example, a character with 20 ranged power that rolls 100 damage with a ranged weapon will actually deal a total of 100 * 1.2 = 120 damage
• Negative ratings use a different formula: Damage * 100 / (100 - Rating)
  • This is more favorable than the positive rating formula would be for negative ratings
  • -50 rating means a character deals 100 / (100 - -50) = 100 / (100+50) = 100/150, or 2/3, or 66% damage
  • -100 rating = half damage (50%)
  • etc.
