	The second group of people were correct. Test with a masterwork shuriken in epic defensive fighting.

	It does not scale with anything aside your MP/RP. The below was in r1 against Abishai inside of Grim quest, using Flow + LGS Dust. The sneak values are in orange after the base number. Critical and Grazing damage are in Yellow for reduced damage, as I did not break DR in order to test sneak damage bypassing DR and working on Grazing. I have infinite screenshots of dps times and not one of them shows increased sneak damage on Dusted/Vacuumed targets.

	Your screenshots don't show increased sneak attack damage because you don't know where to look.

The sneak damage is the second number on the line of damage. That never changes unless the MP/RP increases and it never, ever, not even once in its life turns into vulnerable damage colors...

	Shadowdancer to proc sneak immunity bypass. Using Celestias here to display base sneak damage. Do not believe the combat log. It is wrong. It misleadingly combines the base + sneak to give that number. If you use individual damage lines like the ones showed above ; then you can clearly see what your sneak damage is doing every single time on every single hit. Same set up as before except this time target is debuffed by Vacuum and Dust. You're welcome, Dick. Now you know where to look and how sneak damage works.

	I think one guy told me that the extra SA damage from helpless is added to the first number (which is normally your base damage) and not the second number (for SA). Did you notice anything like that? So lets say your normal damage is 500 base and 250 SA, and you have 100% more helpless damage, it shows as 1250 normal + 250 SA instead of 1000 normal and 500 SA.

	Extra SA from helpless adds to the first number. I haven't tested -PRR...but if it does add, I would expect it to add to the first number.

The most reliable way to test is to get your sneak attack damage as high as possible, equip a scroll, and graze whatever you're testing on.

Swap to shadowdancer and then test. 20 rolls sneak bypass. from the wiki ; Sneak attack damage The Sneak Attack Damage can not critically hit and is unaffected by Vulnerability and additional damage against helpless monsters. Since Update 25 Patch 2 Sneak Attack Damage now scales with 150% Melee or Ranged Power.

	I question the reliability of spammable Ranged sneak attacks on live action� (the crosshair issue) even if the rule book speaks of it works on any unmobile target. Not trying to be an ass btw. Just simply pointing out the issues about ranged sneak attacks on live action.

The reason that so many people believe it isn't is because they have no idea where to look for the damage increase.

Also does that somehow bypass 'First shot to allways miss' Ranged crosshair issue that was never fixed and continiued throughout years. Since my return after long years of break, I experienced the same issue at Mechanic crossbow and Deepwood stalker bow builds to say the least.

First orange boss fight. Scroll and empty offhand, no buffs/boosts at all. Silent set + Ship buff for 70% helpless total. Sneak damage NOT HELPLESS basic attacks NOT HELPLESS Basic attack and Sneak on HELPLESS The 3rd pic shows the damage from sneak + front number in the combat log as one total. Take the 226 front and 188 sneak damage line. In the combat log it reads as 414. 70% of 188 would be 131. Which would explain why the front number is that high at 226 compared to the other 2 swings at 112~. But it could also just be high rolls on standard dice, because the other swings are not giving 70% of my sneak damage to my front numbers.

I think I got it. The damage lines on my screenshot showing the 220+ front number is on a helpless hit. The 110s were on grazing helpless hits. Since my base non-grazing and non-helpless hit was in the 60s, scaled for 70% helpless pushes that to around 110 on helpless full hits. Which is what the rolls were at for grazing on helpless, and there is no other way to explain that increase on the grazing hits aside sneak scaling it by the additional helpless damage generated off the sneak damage base value. Basically sneak attack helpless damage adds to the front number damage on all hits, grazing or non-grazing, as long as the target is helpless. The base sneak attack damage never fluctuates. Assuming this is the same for prr and vulnerability-like debuffs. Thanks!
