Okay, so I've been doing a little bit of messing around (and I do stress little - Scania is impossible with KSing), and I bring you 2 Coolie hits!
I originally also had a question as to whether or not misses count for the damage decrease, but it appears that it's applied equally to all monsters as opposed to something like Iron Arrow. Hopping into a mob of 5 yields much more stable damage than attacking a single target. It doesn't decrease per target, or so it would seem. This does need some more testing, but perhaps my results as I increase the number of targets I hit will tell us.
Anyway:
Level: 50
INT: 262
LUK: 6
MATK: 350
Enemy level: 57
Enemy MDEF: 180
2 targets, observed damage: 167-967
Those should be pretty close. I thought I saw a couple on the low end that could've been lower, but I wasn't certain due to two numbers overlapping or whatever, so I didn't count them. Should keep that in mind as far as calculations go.
