Cannoneer Buck Shot

Does the Buck Shot hyper skill provide a significant increase in damage?
I would assume so but by how much?

[quote=XtraCannon]All I know even if they reduce most ppls damage to 40% you would still hit 70-120ks easy. Our hypers/Revamp give us alot of Dmg and Mastery. He has pretty bad range i guess.[/quote]
there's basically just a net gain of 20% damage from out hyper
that's pretty decent, especially for those of us who cap before unlimited patch. After unlimited patch, it will not be as great a help as it is to us now.
and as overburnd stated, I feel that cannoneers have never been "off the dpm chars"
we've always been decent, not exactly op, and not underpowered either. We have one of the best laser skills, a nice 1v1 attack, some of the best summons, etc. I think cannoneers have always been pretty decent/balanced

[quote=XtraCannon]Sir the skill says 40% damage reduction... Anyone who hits 200k+ with Cannon Bazooka would hit about 100-150k each hit(4hits)! Then multiply x3= 1m+! And we also get mastery and other great skills that are passives that add range and such. <3 Trust me Cannons get back on the charts after our hypers/revamp.[/quote]

Did you even watch the video?

No it was confirmed buckshot brings damage to 40% not reduces by 40%.

Cannoneers have never been "off the charts" in a positive or negative way.
