I got sniping III last night before I logged. This morning, after having goen to novice CH I took my pet out to kill a coupl emobs while checking ym harvs. It seemed like me rifle was doing more damage than before... a bit more... I remember these bashelets (big famhamba looking things on corellia) and then taking a while to kill last time and this morning blasting them in two or three shots at the most.
I had to let my pet get to target before I fired or it would die while the pet was on the way. I thought it was cool, but am I right, am I doing more damage now? Or is it just more of the shots in teh burst hitting due to an increase in accuracy?

if your using the same attack as before your just hitting more frequently because your missing less.

I've noticed this also. But im not sure as to the reason why whether we get a damage increase or its just our increased effectiveness. I do know that a few weeks ago i had problems with Desert Demon packs killing me regularly around my town. Well last night, I used Flushing shot on a pack of them and killed all 6 Demons in a 4 maybe 5 shots. Its gotten to the point were i frown at the NPC spawns and say, "Pity" or "Fool" to them.

The sniping branch increases your accuracy. You miss less so thus you do more damage. Im at the 4th box so I rarely miss now.
Im not 100% sure on this, but imo I think it affects your damage range. I deal more towards the max damage now that I have sniping 4. Shots were from 800-1500, and now they hit for mostly 1000+

yeah, these were just autoattacks... I'm wondering if it "Simulates" more rounds of the burst striking the target thus doing more damage. I like it... Now if I just hadn't screwed up my combat XP... accidentally learned ranged support IV... I was almost to 3/0/0/2... oh well... more huntng I guess...
