Powershot does not seem to be working as advertised.

I waited for a full aim and got the following:

With a loud twang, you let fly your pulzone!

Your steel-tipped pulzone lands a hard (6/23) hit to a rock troll's right arm!

The steel-tipped pulzone lodges itself shallowly into the rock troll!

Using a full aim and just a regular fire I'm getting much higher damage:
Driving in like an unbeatable force, you fire a steel-tipped pulzone at a rock troll. A rock troll fails to evade, taking the full blow.
The pulzone lands an awesome (13/23) strike that tears a small piece of skin from the left calf.

The steel-tipped pulzone lodges itself shallowly into the rock troll!
[You're solidly balanced with opponent in better position.]
[Roundtime 1 sec.]


Also, powershot is not consuming the aim. If I'm fast enough I can reload and get a fully aimed shot without having to aim again. At first I thought it might not matter if I aim or not, but I missed all of my unaimed powershots, so it seems to be at least factoring in.

Oh, and the help for powershot shows the help for cleave instead.

Powershot should not be taking AIM into consideration. It uses the special attack mechanics.

I need to fix a bug with it. Powershot should PREVENT aiming, and not be possible while AIMING. It is not intended for you to double-tap enemies with a powershot and a snipe/poach/fire.

What is the intended purpose of POWERSHOT then? The time to charge seems to be approximately that of AIM, right?
