RE: Coincidence or not?
Without being able to rehunt the exact same hunt it's impossible to say if the suit changed things. Too many variables, even day to day. Try hunting a day without and then a day with. If you keep doing that for a long period of time you can come up with a statistical trend but no definitive answer. That's like clinical studies of humans; unless they have thousands of clones that live the exact same life and only change one variable they can't do anything but track statistical trends, which may or may not prove anything.
