Sniper Shot
Hunter · Marksmanship · Row 7 of 7 · Single rank
Changed from Classic Active ability Requires Trueshot Aura
Sniper Shot sits in row 7 of the Hunter Marksmanship tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role, and you will need Trueshot Aura maxed first. It costs just one point. So the only question is whether opening its row fits your build.
Changed from Classic. This talent now works differently than in Classic, so read the ranks below before you spend any points.
365 Mana | 8-35 yd range | 4 sec cast | 15 sec cooldown
What Sniper Shot does at each rank
A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.
- Rank 1: A steady snipe that increases ranged damage by 160.
How to reach Sniper Shot
Row 7 opens after you spend 30 points in the earlier Marksmanship rows. Level 40 is the earliest you can pick up Sniper Shot, and you will need Trueshot Aura maxed first.
Is Sniper Shot worth the points?
One point gives you the full effect. The real cost is opening row 7. That is 30 points in the rows above, so take it when the talent suits your build.
