Probably another aimed shot question
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 7:35 am
If this has been asked before and I don't see it, my apologies. I'm accustomed to melee professions, and I'm sort of a newb when it comes to aimed shot. I've asked this a few dozen times in OOC in game, with no response, so here goes.
The description for aimed shot skill in the skills windows says "the higher your skill in aimed shot the more effective these special attacks will be". Now, atm at level 33 my aimed shot damage is all over the place, ranging from hitting the max my weapon will hit for on a normal shot (252 or so), sometimes a regular crit (440-550?) and on the rare occasion it will nail 750ish, and on even more rare occasion I've witnessed a 1k AS. Atm I've got 403 in aimed shot skill thanks to scope, comp. ranged special, and imps, and there's quite a bit of a gap between where the lil blue bar is and where it could be if I dumped a level or so of IP into it.
Question being, does having higher aimed shot skill increase the chance of me hitting those higher numbers of damage I've witnessed from it? Just would like to know before I go burning a level of IP to max it... Because I don't much care for those lower numbers, but that 1k blew my mind, as well as the cultist's head wide open *grins*
