Bow 194% phys dmg = chaos dmg? wtf is that

I assume holding Alt over an item separates the mods like it does in PoE1.

That bow has two %phys prefixes. One is only "% increased Physical Damage", while the other is a hybrid modifier, granting "% increased Physical Damage" and "+ to Accuracy Rating".

The hybrid modifier grants considerably less %phys, but isn't blocked by the modifier that only grants %phys.

And naturally I assumed was being taken as an issue at a glance, because there have been a lot of newer players with PoE2's EA that don't understand the system.

This bow innately has 0 physical damage and deals Chaos Damage instead, but that doesn't mean that the %phys modifiers apply to the Chaos Damage instead.

....they might want to make the Quality bonus apply to it, though?
