Lol Ranged energy vs Dodge ranged... uh... lol

Makes sense as this perk line is effectively a ranged energy buff line, don't see how it should matter in PvM or indeed PvP if someone has a high RE skill like a soldier, my whinge is at the measly 139-257 damage.

wrong. this perk hits ado hecks (im a fixer, lvl 161, SPBeamer, around 1200 smg) with 3800/4200 dmg. so, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE !!!

Well I dunno what I am doing wrong beacuse I can never get this perk to do more than 700 damage, granted the later ones such as power blast and power shock do a few K but not this one.

useing in pvp or pvm?

PvM, and at lvl 210 and 1800 ranged energy skill the most I've ever hit on this perk is about 1200. Like I said the later ones like power shock I can do well over 4k but not this one :)

Ok i trained this perkline up for some xtra add damage, but i cant even get this perk to land on the bartender..... I'm guessing since I dont use RE and this is a RE perkline that is my problem eh? If so this sucks because it only stats u need to be "ranged" to land the perk but whatever.

You train this perkline for the damage boost from energize.
The other dmg perks are nice little bonuses, if you have a high enough RE skill to get them to land.
If you dont, they wont. Just that simple.

User Wielded weapons & Ranged means you need to be using a ranged weapon.

Gonna have to call bullsh1t on this one, no way are you hitting ado hecks for 3.8-4.2k damage with power volley at lvl161. Like Venderim said, you're probably confusing Power Volley with one of the higher ones like power blast/combo.
