Please check my math on the following, let me know if I'm looking at this wrong:
My T21 does 439 max damage. So when I fire a Strafe Shot 2 (isn't it 5x damage multiplier?) at a Kimo, I have the possibility for the MAX damage described below.
-- First, lets add a 33% damage power-up: Max damage now = 583 (I'm knocking off all fractions)
-- Next, we multiply by the "standard" 1.5x damage multiplier: 583 x 1.5 = 874
-- Next, we multiply by the 5x Strafe Shot damage multiplier: 874 x 5 = 4370
-- Next, we multiply by the 5x Strafe Shot damage multiplier: 874 x 5 = 4370
-- Next, we apply the 80% resist from the Kimo: 4370 x 0.20 = 874 possible max damage
Ok, lets look at the MIN damage in the same situation (my T21 has min damage121 I believe):
-- 121 * 1.5 * 1.33 (powerup) * 5 (ss2) * 0.20 (kimo) = 241 possible min damage
First of all, is my math right? Did I forget any resists, vulnerabilities, etc?
Now granted your T21 may be weaker, I'm not sure why you're getting a 98 damage shot on a Kimo.

Just a minute here......
If a Kimo has 100% resists to heat and heat will apparently do no damage, how come my commando friend can flame throw one to death in about 5 mins?
and get wounds on it like there's no tomorrow?

The initial flame doesn't do any damage. However for some unknown reason DoT's bypass normal resists. Used to be able to take out a NS elder by applying a 3k mind bleed with a T21 despite the fact that she was 100% resistant to energy, cold, and stun (up until last patch the only 3 rifleman damage types)

Sotaudi...
Thanks for all the clarifications. Iobviously went for the max damage possible! Didn't occur to me that the original poster may not be Master and have all the best shots. Yeah... I left the AP/AR out on purpose since they were equal.
And I'm thinking you might like math just a little too much! Don't make me start dancing.....

I thought I read that the bypass to resists for the Mind shots had been fixed??

Maybe in the great bleed nerf, I was talking pre-bleed nerf, haven't gone NS hunting in quite a while.
