If this has been covered in previous posts then you have my appologies in advance.
Am I missing something with the sniper shot skills. When lying prone I attempt to use the skill at a target (in range mind you) and instead of shooting the icon gets the red border during spool up. I am using an advanced bowcaster and I find that the skill will work about 1 shot in 10.

i am pretty sure /sniper is bugged. i ahve not gotten it to work once yet.
So is conceal shot. it still gives the wrong state msg.
none of our issues are being adresed in todays update. atm, the only realy spechial we have that works is head shot...
maybe the fix of the ranger cover skill helps us too?

After writing this post I read further down the boards - a couple of people may have found a way around the bugs - when the servers come back up I will give it a shot (sorry for the bad pun)
Cheers

Snipshot works when prone, not just under cover. I feel there's a major bug with all things requiring a warmup where surprise, it just doesn't execute. And if that happens it usually won't execute for a while if you keep trying it. And you can't say "You were just interrupted" because 1) I didn't move 2) It's done in and out of combat (IE attempting to initiate combat with sniper shot). Additionally, it happens a significant portion indoors on flat terreign.

It works just stay still and wait a few secs. Another thread I posted about my theory about the Sniper shot. Trust me once you got the first shot of sniper shot its omg I just love it lol popping 2.2k damage on average. lol

- snipershot can be used under cover but it will break cover instantly
- snipershot can be used any time you are prone.
- and finally - snipershot is buggered.

sniper shot is definately bugged. I have never had a successful attempt in pve, whether i was initiating combat with it or not. I have had it work in pvp the other day and it hit for 2k+ dmg which was awesome. however, I tried it couple hours ago in pvp and wouldnt work, tried it numerous times and nothing. hope this gets fixed with the next patch.
