Question about DX dropping without cause... (in General)


GO PATS February 23 2006 6:22 AM EST

I have 50,000 DX on one of my minions to better use his ExBow... I have some leather armor and a kite shield on him as well... Home Page says the DX should drop to 47,500 but when I fight, even if they don't EC or ExBow me, my DX drops to the low 20k's... Any thoughts on what I could do to reverse this effect?

There is a dex penalty for using a ranged weapon in melee. Chuck a whip on the minion or something to see it stop.

It drops to 19,000 actually... Whew...

Flamey, you need HTML mode on to use HTML codes effectively :)

Just to be clear to Moosh, what you are seeing is the end of battle results. You DX is greatly effected when you use a missle weapon in melee, but only in melee is it effected. Your DX is same as it should be in ranged no matter what. This does not change the good advice of dropping a weapon on him to stop this, but it does mean if you do not really care about his effectiveness in melee, then you do not have to worry about the DX loss because in ranged your DX is as effective as it should be regardless of what you do in melee.
