There seems to be an issue with the "Max Bow Charge" option. If I were to use Dragon Piercer and dash ONCE with the option activated, it does the same damage as if I didn't activate it. Seems that the option doesn't charge either when I just hold the arrow instead of dashing. Mind taking a look at it?
PS: Thanks for your hard work, gives the game a new perspective.
I think you mean the regular shot (charge shot = LMB) instead of dragon piercer (RMB+R), because you can't dash with dragon piercer and the charge mechanic doesn't apply to that move. If you actually meant dragon piercer, then yes you will do the same damage because the charge mechanic doesn't affect it.
I just tested the max bow charge option and it works for me. You can visually see if you're firing a fully charged shot. Your character's arm that draws the arrow will swing all the way back after releasing the shot, instead of keeping the elbow towards you with the shots that are not fully charged.
There are 4 ways to get charges when you play without the cheat:
- HOLD LMB (visually indicated by your crosshair when you're loading up charges)
- CLICK LMB, you get a charges by simply shooting, your next shot will have +1 charge and this will stack up till you have shot your max charged shot. Max charges is 3 without might bow jewel: LMB (charge 1) -> LMB (charge 2) -> LMB (charged shot 3), 4 with mighty bow jewel.
- DASH (spacebar), you get +1 charge with dashes and you can of course combine these charge stacks with LMB shots
- RMB, powershot, you also get +1 charge and can also shoot (fully) charged powershots, can be combined with the other moves.
You can also fire a fully charged powershot after shooting your full charged LMB shot to maximize your dps rotation.
You can also check the stamina consumption of each shot, with fully charged shots it will drain more stamina than when it's not.
Try shooting with the max bow charge on and see how much more stamina it drains than when its off and shoot regular shots.
Actually, I think that the way I "sentenced" my words were confusing. I'm aware that normal shots and power shots were already charged; though my main issue is how the charge doesn't apply. I went to the training room, picked a spot where I couldn't move (so all damage is controlled), and shot Dragon Piercer with varying charges. Note that with Max Bow Charge, I just shot DP.
NO CHARGE - Dragon Piercer does the same damage in Vanilla(41dmg) compared to Max Bow Charge (41dmg).
Lv. 1 CHARGE - Dragon Piercer does more damage in Vanilla (44dmg) compared to Max Bow Charge (41dmg).
Lv. 2 CHARGE - Dragon Piercer does even more damage in Vanilla (50dmg) compared to Max Bow Charge (41dmg).
Lv. 3 CHARGE - Dragon Piercer does significant damage in Vanilla (52dmg) compared to Max Bow Charge (41 dmg).
What am I getting at here? Max Bow Charge does NOT affect the damage via charge when you use Dragon Piercer. Even with Max Bow Charge enabled, if I wanted to do more damage with Dragon Piercer, I'd still have to charge my bow up, whether it be via holding, dashing, etc.
PS: Yes, the charging mechanic DOES affect Dragon Piercer. I knew that since the console release.
