A Lethal Arrow

Lethal Arrow: Plant a masterfully aimed arrow in an enemy's vital spot, dealing [3207 / 3242 / 3277 / 3313] Poison Damage and applying the Poisoned status effect. Also afflicts enemy with Minor Defile, which reduces their healing received and Health Recovery by 8% for 4 seconds.
Focused Aim: Cost: [2700 / 2610 / 2520 / 2430] Stamina, Range: 40 meters.
Plant a masterfully aimed arrow in an enemy's vital spot, dealing 3207 Physical Damage. Also inflicts Minor Breach on the enemy, reducing their Physical and Spell Resistance by 2974 for 10 seconds.

Snipe deals a large amount of Physical Damage to one target. In addition to being the highest damage ability in the Bow line, it is one of the longest ranged attacks of any Skill line. The Focused Aim increases the range, reduces the target's armor, and reduces the cost. Alternatively, the Lethal Arrow morph changes to Poison Damage and decreases the effectiveness of Healing on the target.

Notes[edit]

  • The poison from Lethal Arrow does not stack, so you should wait for it to take its full effect before using it again on the same target.
  • The Piercing Spray set from Asylum Sanctorium can cause this ability to do more damage when combined with Arrow Spray.
  • The Point-Blank Snipe weapon from Vateshran Hollows increases the damage done by this skill the closer you are to the target.

Patch Notes[edit]

  • Reduced the cast time for this ability from 3 seconds to 2 seconds. We also reduced the range for this ability from 40 meters to 35 meters, and reduced the minimum range from 20 meters to 10 meters.
  • Focused Aim: This ability's tooltip now lists the duration of the effect.
  • Reduced the cost of this ability by approximately 20%. We also reduced the cast time for this ability to 1.8 seconds from 2 seconds.
  • Reduced the cast time for this ability by approximately 40%
  • Reduced the damage done by this ability by 5%
  • Removed the minimum range from this ability.
  • Focused Aim: The damage bonus from this ability now only applies to bow attacks. We also fixed an issue where this passive wasn't applying to heavy attacks.
  • Lethal Arrow: Fixed an issue where the Healing Reduction from this ability could stack with itself.
  • Lethal Arrow: This ability now applies the buff Major Defile for 10 seconds.
  • Focused Aim: This ability now applies the buff Minor Fracture instead of increasing weapon speed against the target. This morph also increases in damage with each rank.
  • Lethal Arrow: Decreased the duration of the Major Defile debuff applied to 4 seconds from 10 seconds.
  • Reduced the cast time of this ability and its morphs to 1 second from 1.1 seconds.
  • Reduced the damage dealt by 25% to make up for the removal of the post global noted earlier.
  • Increased the travel speed of the arrow to put it in line with other projectiles.
  • Lethal Arrow: This morph now applies Minor Defile, rather than Major Defile. This was done since the morph already has another bonus, the guaranteed chance to apply the Poisoned status effect.
  • Focused Aim: This morph no longer increases the range in which your allies can hit the target. Instead, it reduces the cost by 5% and increases the range by 5 meters. Note that Minor Fracture remains.
  • Increased the damage by approximately 9% for this ability and its morphs.
