Assailum Snipe targetting bug

- I have Assailum equipped.

- I have the Snipe skill associated to puncture

- I have bound Snipe to my main side thumb button (on a Logitech G Pro wired).

- About half of the time when releasing the Snipe skill after fully charging it, the puncture projectile just goes through enemy units without hitting anything even though I have 94% chance to hit.

- This renders the item unusable.

- I saw someone reported a similar targeting problem on console too but I couldn't find reports of the same issue on bug reports.

- thanks in advance for looking into it!

bump. This is still a problem!

Bump, still a problem.

Additional info:

When aiming vertically (directly up or down) the snipe arrow flies exactly where aimed, but when aiming even slightly horizontally (left/right) the arrow flies significantly above the cursor.

My assumption is that the snipe arrow is being ground targeted, but firing in the air.

Additionally: The snipe skill also does not "namelock" like conventional attack skills which makes it hard to aim and unusable half the time (even if the aiming was fixed).

I realize it is a channeling skill, and other channeling skills work this way (no namelock).
However other channeling skills have "beams" of aoe, which are much more forgiving in terms of aiming and meant to be aimed at an aoe pack of mobs.
The snipe skill only works with bows, which most/all are single projectiles unless augmented.


I feel that the drawback of standing still for a prolonged period of time to channel an attack that only does damage at the end of the channel has enough drawbacks (mobs killing you or getting in the way of your primary target) that at the very least the targeting should be accurate and predictable for this item to be usable.

Bump. I too have the problem while using "burning arrow" in my Assailum. I have a 100% chance to hit and 99% vs evasive monsters and still I can clearly see how the "snipe" arrow is flying right through/over the enemies without hitting them.

When I use my regular burning arrow I am hitting the same enemies very easily.

Edit: I tested a bit in hideout the snipe arrow is not flying where my cursor is when shot to the left/right side but it seems to work when I shoot up or down.

Bump. Having the same targeting problem. Still having to position myself so that the target is aligned vertically with my character.

bump. same issue, arrow does not fly directly where the cursor is, but significantly above/under

bump, please fix it

as others, its broken and requires manual aiming - and it DOES NOT shoot where you target it, so you really have to be a math/angles genius to really use this item/skill.
