I was glad to get Flushing2 as it has a damage multiplier of 4 compared to x3 for HeadShot3 and I was planning to get sniping4 now that I have the points, but I just heard that Startle2 (counter sniping4) has an even higher damage multiplier, so I might as well get that one first.

Can a master rifleman comment on he damage of Startle 2 compared to Flushing 2? (I can't even imagine the damage of Strafe 2 then... )

Good question, anyone know?

Bump, come on I know that some master riflemen are reading the boards atm! *Cough* aldeon *cough*

About to go to bed, I'll try and get some numbers tomo if noone else has them by then.

Ive never used it, never really tested with it, I find it a worthless skill, while were on the subject, whats the multiplier of Strafe Shot 2?

I have no idea on Strafe 2 as I don't have the skill.

However aldeon, if you could just give me some min and max numbers using those skills and the base atk stat on the weapon you used, I'd be glad to compute them. Usually the min and max out of about 15 attacks is enough for me to determine the dmg mult of a special...

Well if I went out and tested it, I would just calculate my own numbers

But anyways, startle 2 is about the same as Head Shot 3 it seems to me. When I used it when I first got it, it was pretty much the same, havnt used it yet.

havnt use it since, not yet.

Bump before bed, I'd appreciate a more precise answer as I'll learn my next box tomorrow. Could someone just post the min-max they get using this attack and the base stats on the weapon they are using?

DLT20a: 93 -149

StrafeShot2: 713 - 1098

StartleShot2: 561 - 893

That's from about 20-30 shots for each.

Excellent, Thank you Seflyn, just what I needed.

So it appears that Startle2 has the same dmg multiplier than flushing 2, x4, while Strafe2, as I expected, has a damage multiplier equal to Stopping Shot, x5.
