today i have been having some problems with Sniper shot. It sometimes takes 2-3 times to successfully fire. Anyone else having this problem?

Loads of damage but a really big wind up. I've had problems with all the moves I have with a filling bar animation duellist stance, cover, snipershot, 95% of the time nothing happens, not even a message to say its failed or I've missed.

I've been having some problems with snipershot too. What kind of fighting is it for exactly? I ask only because I've used it for PvEing and then last night I got a message saying that the shot wouldn't work (after a windup) because the target wasn't a PvP target. Later, I got it to work once (on a Huurton Howler on Dantooine) and then it quit working again (windup but no message whatsoever).

Sometimes it works *woot!* Most of the time it doesn't... I don't use it too much in the middle of a fight, due to the logn wait, but I usually try to start a fight with it

how can i get this to work, if i stand it says -wrong posture- it seems even if i go into prone it doesnt work (box goes red) do i need to be kneeling? then i tried to cover and it didnt even work at all.

you gotta take cover. and remember,make sure the ground is FLAT or else take cover will fail(it's a bug)

You only need to be prone to use Snipershot, not under cover. You can get it to work almost anywhere if you hit the button till it decides to work, but being on flat ground is the only reliable way to make it work right now.

Cover isn't required, only prone. During the warm-up, listen for a 'clunk' sound indicating failure. If you hear that, hit sniper shot again to start a new warm-up timer.

When using sniper shot I usaully dive to prone, then fire a headshot before attempting to fire a sniper shot it this pretty well as I assume that the server is lagging slightly and it still considers you moving after going prone, asheadshot can be used from any position it works well as an imtermediate move while transitioning to sniper. and use ranged shot and headshot inbetween sniper cooldowns.

I might be way of track, but the thing is.


conceal shot: can only be done while in cover. This shot will hit your target but not give them clear knowledge of your where abouts.

sniper shot: a mod to any normal shot. Use once(let the warm up run through) then choose the shot you wanna fire. Like improved headshot.






yep way off track

conceal shot = concealed shot only fired from under cover

sniper shot = special that is only available while prone - is a special attack in it's own right (with the largest damage multiplier in the game)
