[Spells](Hunter) Aimed Shot

Max rank aimed shot is not doing the appropriate amount of damage.

When I tested it on the practice dummies it wasn't coming close to the designated damage. After testing it for a few minutes and recording the damages, it's average damage seemed to average about 30 less than it should be. I don't think it has to do with any talents or skills because I tested it without talents, and I continued to test the damage as I skilled.

Do you have a good formula or is it only a feeling ?

What about the target armor ?
What about the damage range of your equipped weapon ?

I spent enough time testing it that I know that it's wrong, and then took the time to post it on the forums.

The dummies don't have armor.
I tested it with and without gear on.
I tested it with and without: aspect of the hawk, trueshot aura, ranged weapon specialization.
I compared it to the way that multi-shot is just additional damage and multi-shot worked as it should, while aimed was still wrong.

I figured it's something you guys would be able to look at rather quickly.

Both spell are using normalized weapon damage, maybe one is and the other isn't.
Do you have any data from your addon to share with us ?

that seems to be a veeeery small value, considering you said you tested "for a few minutes"
generally you can count in 2000 aimedshots MINIMUM to get reliable data, hell, i even once tested the 5% increased crit from MM tree with autoshots for 5000 shots once and i managed to get an unlucky value that told me i was 5% below the expected value
after another 5000 shots it was correct again, so that are already 10k shots

Considering this report as invalid because of the low amount of data. Hope you will be able to run more tests on the next session.
