Confident Aim - How Does it Work? (Does it Work?)

[AlphaMagnum]

Has anyone tested this passive out?  If so, have you seen the Graze -> Hit conversion credited to it in the combat log?

For sure the minimum damage increase is not reflected in the character sheet. I've mentioned it in http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/74167-damage-calculation-bug/. However, I did not yet reach a conclusion on whether, during combat, min dmg or graze/hit conversion is implemented correctly or not.

I haven't done any testing of the minimun damage increase, but I have definitely seen Confident Aim come up in the combat log showing grazes being converted to hits a few times.

Also wondering whether this is bugged as the min damage change doesn't take effect on the character sheet.

 

Would be really good for my dual stilettos if it works as intended.

1) yes, I've seen it in the combat log. You have to click on the entry to see it, and since it doesn't apply to every hit, there is some luck involved. Applicable entries will have something to the effect of, "Hit (some info about the roll) [Graze -> Hit. Confident Aim]. (Info about the damage)"

2) Per the description "minimum damage" (the specific thing) is increased by 20%. In other word, when you hit something for a Graze or when enemy DR eats most of the hit, a value called "minimum damage" is applied. Confident Aim boosts that number, not the minimum range of damage your weapon does. You'll never see it on the character sheet, only in the combat log (and only when you connect for minimum damage).
