How it went down, I entered a match right at the end. I ran towards the action looking for an easy kill. I spot a dude on a roof and spool up my charge sniper. I shot 1 round into the base of the tower accidentally, it didn't hit anyone. I line on the rooftop guy and bam, one shot him. He was in a scout suit.
CSR does 321.86 base I have 4 complex light damage mods +10% each My sniper proficiency is level 5 +3% * 5 points
My calculations put me at 481 alpha.
2 shots would register at more than 505 1 shot should not be higher than around 481 right?
Is the stacking penalty broken?

I think the sniper does more to armor so if it was a gallente scout with a plate on you might of done some extra unaccounted damage. I did not account for that, nor did I realize that was even a factor. Thanks! DUST uni FTW edit* it was a G-Scout

Sana Rayya wrote:I think your calculations are correct, but I'm pretty sure that damage dealt considers the damage bonus/reduction vs. shields/armor. The sniper rifle has a -10% penalty to shield and a 10% bonus to armor, which could account for the number you are getting.
As an example, say the scout has 210 shield and 100 armor. To remove its 210 shield, 233HP of dmg points would be subtracted from your alpha damage (233*.9=2100HP), leaving you with 248HP of dmg points left to apply to armor. This gets a bonus of 10%, so your total damage dealt to armor would be 272HP. Add the 233HP of shield dmg and you get 505HP.
Edit: Someone beat me to it. But what's a body shot modifier? Are you sure that's not just the 90% efficiency against a shielded target, to which a headshot multiplier is applied if you aim for the head?
I luv ur Brane! thanks!

if "Sniper A" has 4 damage mods and is getting 481 hp...
and "Sniper B" has 4 damage mods and 1 enhanced to get 489 hp...
then there is a difference to "Target A" who has 485 total defenses.....
right...?
This is true, which is why some snipers are trying to max out their damage potential. 3% is still equal to a proficiency level.

Cpl Foster USMC wrote:Hey Mitch....
I just had a match where I only used 1 round, 1 headshot.....
did "968 damage dealt" with my suit set up as above...
so 489 for a body shot and 968 headshot.....for me anyways... Doesn't it feel great seeing numbers like that? Are you running 5 mods or 4? Hey if you want to tag team some matches mail me or if I'm on I always have a side channel 'snipers' open. I can also send you an inv to the 'snipers inc' channel where a lot of us can be found in one place, Atiim said it was all good,
I'm so glad I asked about this. I didn't fully understand all the variables that go into the damage calculation. Thanks again to all for the input! I'm gonna really pick pick on people without shields now because of the 10% bonus, kinda like a cheetah zeroing in on the injured!
