help > skills > snipe -------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Snipe Class : Hunter Cost : 20 (non-adjustable) Skill Type : Active Casting time : 1 Stats Base : Mostly Dexterity, Some Strength Difficulty : 1 Syntax : do snipe (<direction> | autoaim) at <target> Examples : do snipe east at comanche do snipe autoaim at miles Hunters are deadeyes when it comes to hunting with bow and arrow. Using this skill, a Hunter attempts to devastate a nearby target. Only prey in an adjacent room may be targeted. Hence, foes located in the same room, or more than one room away, are not valid. If a target moves further than one room away while the Hunter is taking aim, the skill will fail. However, if a prey is targeted and then moves into the same room as the Hunter, the snipe will still be attempted. If the "autoaim" option is chosen, the Hunter will attempt to quickly locate the supplied target in the surrounding rooms. If this mode of aiming is employed against a stealthed target, the Hunter must succeed in spotting that prey to be able to take aim. Sniped targets will someetimes locate the sniper and move to enter their room and attack them. Targets who have been exposed by being hit by the penetrate skill will suffer more damage from snipe. A hunter using the snipe skill who also has the penetrate skill will often penetrate his foes using snipe without having to actively use the penetrate skill. The Hunter must wield a bow to be able to use this skill. Hunters using this skill against classes that they are experts at hunting will do so with significantly more success. -------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: help expertise, help skill penetrate, help skill snipe |
