Mod 15 HR changes - Archery - Prey damage buff only about 16.8% and tooltip still unclear

The tooltip of Prey is still unclear. It says after using ranged encounter power, Prey is applied, which will increase damage by 20%, and the bonus is then 'doubled' for Targets affected by Prey. This separation of damage buff is confusing, are we getting a 40% damage buff here? Is the first hit AFTER Prey is applied is what's hitting for 20% and then subsequently getting doubled?

Regardless, testing shows that the
damage buff is about 16.8% , not 20% and nowhere close to 40%.

Some update on this would be much appreciated since revamping Archery is of paramount interest in the HR community and this is the first step towards that tree.

    The target takes 1.2x damage versus the one next to it.
    If you apply Prey to the same target, it'll take 1.4x the damage of the one next to it (original damage)
    If you apply Prey and target the other one, both will take 1.2x the original damage.

    This is Cryptic math. Science isn't an exact science with these folks.
