The second skill for my rare emarium crossbow has been doing 24-32 damage despite both the tooltip for the weapon listing the damage range as 26-38 and the skill tooltip listing the damage as 34-46 at base. Sniper Stance, the crossbow's 4th skill, is supposed to add another 40% strength. I'm unsure what another 40% strength means for how damage is calculated, but the actual combat damage is far from what it was and not even hitting what the tooltips say it should be.
#Crossbow headshot doing less damage than minimum damage listed in tooltip, even when buffed.

can confirm this. Crossbow is close to useless now.

Seeing as there is weapons that do minus armor % debuff on the target, enemies have damage reduction so you will never hit what the tooltip says. I for example hit less on a king umbura than an alpha umbura with the same abilities

that's not the issue. a t4 rare struggles to fight basic jakyls now.

With my T6 crossbow and my T6 leather armour I now make half the damage to a normal Jackyl I did before the patch.
That is... kinda sad. With my T3 plate armour the damage is a bit better, but not the same as before yesterday's patch either.
