Q:
Does the skill unload do the damage shown per shot or total
A:
I’m assuming you’re asking if it does the damage it shows each tick, the answer is no. (eg. it ticks 10 then 20 then 50, it did 50 damage not 80)
The final number you see is the total amount of damage you have done.
anyone have an idea?
I believe that it sums the damage from each shot, telling you the total damage done by the skill as each shot hits.
Thats what i am thinking too, would like to know if anyone has a confirmed answer
The amount is pre shot, lets say you are in a level 10 zone, Unload shows 39 damage on tooltip, it will do around 250 damage (350 actually, but around 100 damage reduced because of armor).
When life gives you lemon, ask if its from a anime or manga.
Interesting fact, during Beta Weekends, each Unload hit actually rolled for Sigil chance, I have a video of reaching around 15-20 stacks of might from using Might chance sigils, 90% crit chance and unload spam.

It is definitely displaying a cumulative total, not a per-tick damage figure. Check your combat log to verify.
