Runes of Magic US / AU

I finally got Snipe, WA, Combo, and Shot up to 85 and I thought I would revisit the relative damage they do. I hit mobs at least 10 times with each skill. No mobs had buffs. I used no buffs. Checked as S/P and S/M to see if there were any changes.

Jungle Snail Heffner Ostrich (snail crit/norm, ost crit only)

Snipe 180k/80k 548k

WA 56k/26k 172k

Combo 56k/26k 172k

Shot 54k/25k 165k



What bothers me is that Snipe does not have the additional damage that the skill tooltip would indicate.

Snipe - 1525% + 950 damage, WA - 273%, Combo - 274.5%, Shot - 244%

One would think that Snipe would do 5.6 times the damage as WA, however I observed that Snipe only did 3.2 times the damage on crits and 3.07 times the damage on non crits. To me it seems that Snipe is only doing 3.2/5.6 or 57% of the damage it is advertized to do.

Any thoughts on what is going on here or should this be submitted as a bug?

And yeah - I know the damage is pretty pathetic to begin with and no - I can't afford to regear as M/S yet.
