    Weapon handling conversion on gear

    So my backpack that previously had 10.5 weapon handling now only has 4.5 weapon handling after TU10 conversion.

    The previous max on gear was 14%, so 10.5 is 75% of max roll. Therefore, as with other changes in the past, I would have expected it to have been converted to 7.5 (75% of new max of 10). Instead it’s only 4.5. Why did our gear with weapon handling get nerfed after conversion????

    If you read patch note, the max roll is now 8% instead of 14%.

    Your weapon handling before TU10 was divided to 4 attributes. So you had 2.5% each. Now you have 4.5% weapon handling that grants the same amount to each!

    You've actually been buffed, not nerfed.

    Oh ok, so they changed it from 10 to 8.

    That still doesn’t quite answer why 10.5 became 4.5 though. It should have been 6% then, not 4.5%. So still wondering why gear with weapon handling was nerfed on conversion.

    They buffed the way weapon handling works so the rolls have been lowered to compensate.

    I knew someone was going to say this. That’s NOT the issue.

    I’m aware of that, but that doesn’t address the issue

    I was answering your question. 14 / 4 < 8 (for all 4).

    Your OP has a question at the end. I provided an answer to it.

    Again, The issue is that 10.5 (which was 75% of max roll) became 4.5 (which is only 56% of new max roll), instead of 6 (75% of new max roll).

    Yes you are right to be upset, the math is off a bit.
