[3.02] Twinned Arrows doesn't apply penalty to accuracy

[Ronin@]

Compared it to the combat log. Sometimes it does apply, at other times it doesn't.

That I know of, the penalty applies normally but doesn't show up in your character record (you can verify this by checking the combat log.)

 

I reported this before 3.0; hopefully it will get fixed in the next patch.

There's definitely something wrong. Take a look at these:

 

 

 

 Here you can see how my accuracy drops by 8 on the second shot of twinned arrows. It happens randomly and is totally unexplainable.

 

 

 And here you can see that Twinned Arrows' accuracy penalty not only doesn't apply but I actually get a bonus. As a side note, Wounding shot doesn't provide any accuracy bonus to the attacks according to its description. (I don't have Accurate Wounding Shot but even if I did it still doesn't add up)

Hey Ronin@,

 

I'm going to guess you are a Wood Elf and also have the Marksman Talent. This could account for some of the 'randomness' in your accuracy rolls. I'll also give this some love and see if I can figure out why your Twined Arrow shots are rolling different Accuracy rolls. Which should probably never be the case.

 

- Can you upload your save file for me?

 

I got your back

Hey Sking,

 

Actually I'm neither a Wood Elf nor do I have the Marksman Talent but you'll see that for yourself. There you go (that's a save just before the moment I've taken the screenshots from):

Keep in mind that both of these anomalies only happen occasionally so you'll probably have to engage in a couple of fights before you experience them. 

 

Thank you for your time and effort

Aha!!!!

 

Took me like 30 minutes but I was able to figure out what happened. The attack directly after a successful retaliate is sharing the retaliate accuracy. Take Garodh's Chorus off your Ranger and you should no longer see this accuracy fluctuation. 

 

I'll also get a bug in for this, though being so minor we might not get to it.

[Edit] Twinned Arrows combined with Driving Flight is also causing a 10 point accuracy loss every other shot. Adding it to my bug report. We hope to get a fix in a future patch.

These will be fixed in 3.04 (and the accuracy penalty from Twinned Arrows should just behave better in general).
