Question about Sling melee Penalty (in General)

Is the penalty to slings, bows, and crossbows for melee multiplicative? what do you mean.. multiplicative? Like for slings, 80% penalty, 200 cth becomes 40 cth, or is it like flat, 200 becomes 120cth

Been wondering for awhile, anyone know?

200 becomes 40... DX takes the same penalty. I managed to beat AA by outliving his ranged back when my tank had some DX, then melee came around and it was my quads against his singles and misses even though he had a huge weapon and over triple my DX.

hence i got myself a massive mod :)

'tis why i did away with the DX :P you were the only person it helped me with, and I knew you had the ginormous melee weapon so I did away with the DX figuring my 20m+ XP would be better spent targeting somebody that couldn't change my fights against them from a somewhat steady win (won most of the time, but never had a day with more than 15 attacks and 100% win) to an epic fail (didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against you even if you equipped a 5m VB, much less the beast i knew you were holding back :P)
