hmm if that were so would not all the results have the same max damage rather then a range from 750 - 1200 depending on target? Or is there a max damage allowed per shot to a target on the target (as far as I know - the answer is no)?

actually energy resistance could explain it (or kinetic depending on rifle)

that of course can be proved with the stats for the rifle.

Resistences do vary, I do recall seeing this while hunting MOB's, though until we get a Master Ranger to verify that for me, I'm not 100% sure.

Since my temp is done and I really don't have the need to grind out XP for the village, I decided to do a little research on this resistance thing. First i tried the low lvl creatures around Eisley, i didn't see any resistances in the examine. So, off to the graveyard for some high lvl mobs. I pass by some banthas, which upon examination, have a special melee attack, but still don't see any resistances. These are lvl 20.

Alas! I spot a giant canyon krayt dragon, lvl 86, in the distance. I hurry along to get within examine range and......upon examination, it has three special melee attacks, but no resistance registers..but it does have 113 - 439 damage with a to hitbonus of 210.Without going all out to see if this is the same way on other planets, I would have to say the Devs in their infinite wisdom decided not to give master rangers the ability to see resistances as they once could. Although I know i should be able to see they are resistant to kinetic like 60% or so, i can't confirm this fact as i can not see it examing as a master ranger.

Im a mbh, mrm, about 300 accuracy when I have my rifle equiped.

dmg done to a lvl 82 golden boss mark with 30k+ health. I was using critical shot, no knockdown applied.

nothing 929 dmg
pyro (189) 1010 dmg
adv. aim + pyro 1119 dmg

Seems to be working fine...

edit: if only aim didnt have such a long warmup time, and short usage time, then it would actually be handy during a fight. Now i can only use it for the first couple of shots....
