Do the gloves of archery work with dual hand crossbows? When I equip them the damage preview doesn’t change, but it just calls out ranged weapon damage, so it seems like it should work.

It does, but the preview damage in the character sheet doesn’t seem to update, but for me, the tool tip on the actual attacks does update. Running dual hand crossbows on a thief rogue is my favorite way to hurt things from range, don’t hit very hard but hits a lot…

Pop up update logic is completely shot. If I switch characters while in the inventory screen it keeps showing the pop up for the original character.

I love this game, but the QA is terrible.

I’ve had it do that the very first time a tool tip pops up but usually the problem sorts itself if I just move off the item and back over it to trigger a new tool tip. But ymmv.

I’ve been pleasantly impressed by the polish of the game for the most part, but maybe I’ve been jaded by games always having bugs, the bigger the scope of the game the more bugs it has and at least I haven’t had any game breaking bugs.

I had just one that necessitated a reload, which as far as these things go is pretty good.

When I took the boat in the underdark, Lae’zel got stuck between scenes and I had no way to get her back. She didn’t even show up in camp. I dismissed her before I boarded and then it worked.

Take the Sharpshooter feat and then you can hit a lot and hit very hard.

Does sneak attack damage dice apply to the off hand as well?

It can, but only one Sneak Attack per turn regardless of how you get it in there.

Ah so like if your main hand misses the off-hand gets the bonus instead.

Cool thanks! I didn’t notice the attack tooltip changing. Yeah, I put them on a thief rogue, with the caustic band and elixir of the colossus too. Its a fair bit of dps and more easily splitable for crowd control than my friend’s barbarian.
