Bug - Not A Bug buffed_hit_stat wrong

[ckb]

something seems wrong with buffed_hit_stat().
As a level 8 Pastamancer, wielding Thor's Pliers, I have 42 (39) Mus.

If only I was so powerful

You can't miss with Thor's Pliers. I think it's correct?

 

[ckb]

Huh. That's an interesting and unexpected twist. I'll have to work around that.

 

[lostcalpolydude]

What are you doing with that value where comparing it to the monster's defense (which works fine in this case) isn't sufficient?

 

[heeheehee]

My guess would be using it for expected weapon damage calculations.

Yes, this.
No too hard to work around, just interesting and unexpected.

It's also wrong because buffed_hit_stat includes passive bonuses to hit chance (crab claw technique when wielding accordion, master of surprising fist when unarmed).
Perhaps there should be buffed_damage_stat to account for these differences (and the technically possible chance that some weapons use different stat for to-hit and damage calculations)?
There's current_hit_stat, but that just returns *which* stat.
Is there even any passive skill/modifier/... (not combat skill) that would increase "buffed stat used for calculating damage" without also increasing that buffed stat?

Is it really important to have a built-in function that's just the equivalent of my_buffedstat( current_hit_stat() ) ?
