I think that STR, Attack and skill levels are working just fine. I suspect the issue is that ranged attacks (and other special attacks I mentioned already) are not factoring AC into the equation at all now. I will have to do more testing to verify if that is completely true or not. If it is, then it might be possible for a level 1 ranger to do the same DPS to a level 70 mob with any amount of stats that a level 70 ranger would do with the same bow. I haven't tested to see if damage caps are effecting these special attacks yet or not.
It may be that skill levels are being taken into account to decide how often you land hits for and max damage you can hit for, but it definitely seems like AC is not being factored in for these special attacks. I will do more testing later tonight probably and report back here with my findings.
To test, I plan to create a test spawn that cannot move or summon and adjust it's AC, AGI and DEX from low to high and see how that affects how much damage it takes from ranged attacks. Then, I will use that same NPC but try it with a level 1 character with all skills set to 1 and no gear other than bow. Then, again with a level 70 geared character with all skills set to max using the same bow and arrows that the level 1 character was using.
