Sniper Shot is reportedly one of the Marksmanship hunter PvP talents. The last talent you'll get.

It doesn't look very good for arenas since it would require some setup with it's 4 second casttime, but I cannot wait to try it in battlegrounds and rated battlegrounds with the incredible 60 yard range. Very fitting for a sniper.

820% weapon damage seems like a lot ─ Aimed Shot deals 435% weapon damage in comparison.

Shot with the longest range in game which increases shooting range itself
Sniper Shot buff will make it 77 yd shot. It's almost twice as much as most of range spells and attacks
Keep on stacking Mastery: Sniper Training and one day you can shoot people on Blacksmith staying on Stables in Arathi Basin

At last they make Marksmen feel like real snipers!

seems to increase your shot range in pvp instances to 65 yards, factoring in everything. doesn't increase range of traps.

the buff's a pain in the ass to maintain, and can be difficult to get off in the first place. once you have it, you can bully people way out of your range, and you can kite casters in open battlegrounds. its high cost but high reward.

edit: this skill has been severely nerfed (buffed?) it now only lasts 6 seconds down from 15, making it impossible to take prolonged fights at 65 yards. it also deals 20% of the target's health which is good, so it's good for picking off stragglers but... hunters could already do that, lol. mostly useless skill, gonna miss the bullying playstyle it offered.

Skill damage is hardcapped at 34,037 damage against mobs. Tested against elite with 4 million HP.

Blizzard: FUN DETECTED

You could have left the skill do it's 20% true damage to open world quest elites, and hardcap it's damage to world bosses.
