Playing with my 1202 max damage bowcaster, I made up a 34.45% damage barrel, and theresult on the max damage was nowhere near the 1616 damage it should have been.Speed, a non-issue, I was looking solely at the damage output on the bow. Here are its stats:

Assault Bowcaster:

Damage: 618-1202
Speed: 2.35
Base DPS: 387.47

Now here are the modified stats after different power barrels were attached (Not - only addressing the damage, not speed or DPS)

32.33%
Min: 817
Max: 1401
Actual % Increase: 16.55%

27.48%
Min: 787
Max: 1371
Actual % Increase: 14.06%

22.63%
Min: 757
Max: 1341
Actual % Increase: 11.56%

20.20%
Min: 742
Max: 1326
Actual % Increase: 10.32%

17.78%
Min: 727
Max: 1311
Actual % Increase: 9.07%

10.50%
Min: 682
Max: 1266
Actual % Increase: 5.32%

The effect the powerup has on the max damage = Max Damage + (Min x % Increase)

For example, with the 32.33% Barrel:
1202+(618 x .3233) = 1401.8 Damage

And with the 10.5% Barrel:
1202+(617 x .1050) = 1266.9

Is this working as intended? I would assume the max damage would be applied differently (as a function of the original max damage).

Is this a known issue, as well? I wouldn't be complaining, but for such a weak increase in damage compared to what it makes sense it SHOULD be, it's quite disappointing, and many of my clients have been complaining3:30 PM 7/1/2005 to me as well.
