"In reality, the Sunblessed Bow should have a DPS of 242, not 256. Either I am missing some other factor here, or the devs may need to change this small problem. Perhaps it has something to do with the Blinding Shot proc that the bow has."

-maybe set bonus that we don't quite know about?

The current sunblessed set stated is:

+3 h/s, +10 DMG, +7 Armor. Requires: Overlord's Helmet of the Void, Wraith Armor of the Void, Sunblessed Bow of the Void

When you're wearing only Overlord's Helmet of the Void + Wraith Armor of the Void, stats look like this:
2 274 1 125 14 10 501 5 500 4 49-55 44 70
Highlighting bow (but not equipping gives us):
2 285 1 133 16 13 501 6 500 6 183-228 242 76
Equipping bow (and thus completing the set) actually gives us:
2 285 1 135 16 14 501 9 500 6 195-240 256 83

So instead of +3 h/s, +10 DMG, +7 Armor, it really gives us
+2 %Hit, +1 Dodge, +3 h/s, +12 Damage, +7 Armor

Thanks for bringing that up, the set bonuses for Sunblessed is not what it seems. But it still doesn't account for the problem in DPS...

I see what you mean. Maybe additional (+2 dmg and + some factor of 2% hit rate)x 1/shot speed brings it closer?

The 11 added into DEX gives you the rest of the mysterious set increase.

[Physiologic]

The 11 added into DEX gives you the rest of the mysterious set increase.

I believe the Dex addition is already factored into the equation and that the "mysterious set increase" is due to extra bonuses. I'm more inclined to believe this because DEX doesn't affect dodge, STR does.

Look at this example of the Void Set:

Wearing Wraith Void + Jacob's Void only:
2 274 1 125 14 10 501 5 500 4 49-55 44 71
Highlighting Mega Blaster Void (not equipping):
2 285 1 133 16 13 501 6 500 6 168-213 191 77
Equipping Mega Blaster Void (completing the set):
2 285 1 140 21 14 501 8 500 9 180-225 202 82

Void Bonus expected: +5% Hit, +5% Crit, +2 H/s, +2 M/s, +10 Damage, +5 Armor according to Yanis' thread
Void Bonus given: +7% Hit, +5% Crit, +1 Dodge, +2 H/S, +3 M/s, +12 Damage, +5 Armor

Dodge is increased, and M/s (which is affected by INT, and INT wasn't raised at all) increased, but these aren't affected by increases in DEX at all.

Example of the Cyber set:

Wearing Cyber Skull Void + Cyber Armor Void only:
2 274 1 125 14 10 501 5 500 4 49-55 44 75
Highlighting Cyber Blaster Void (but not equipping):
2 285 1 133 16 13 501 6 500 6 174-219 197 81
Equipping Cyber Blaster Void (completing the set):
2 285 1 135 16 14 501 7 500 6 183-228 205 84

Cyber Bonus expected: +2% Hit, +1% Dodge, +1 H/s, +9 Damage, +3 Armor (source)
Cyber Bonus given: +2% Hit, +1% Dodge, +1 H/s, +9 damage, +3 armor

Here, Cyber checks out with its expected value (had nothing to do with 11 dex increase).

Conclusion:
> Sunblessed Archer set is inaccurate
> Void set bonuses were updated at some point
