Bow Rework

The Sniper is a class of precise ranged damage whose combat system splits into single-target and area attacks. Single-target damage is built around Double Shot, which fires two arrows in succession, and Lethal Shot — the main nuke with +12798 additional power and 10% defense ignore. The AoE line includes Spinning Arrow, Gust Shot (★★), Burning Shot (★★) with the Ignite effect (HP potion recovery −5%), Primal Blizzard (★★★), whose damage scales with the Ice Storm effect by up to +20%, and Spiral Shot (★★★), which pulls enemies in and strikes twice. The rework expanded these skills' max levels, raised their armor penetration and increased their hit counts.

The class's key mechanic is the focus mode Lock On (★★★): it raises attack and defense, extends attack and skill range by 300, and converts the entire AoE line into single-target 'Pierce' versions (Gust, Spiral, Spinning, Burning and Flame Pierce), letting the sniper concentrate all damage on one target. The Sniper also pressures enemies with bow-resistance debuffs: True Target applies Bow Weakness, lowering the target's resistance to bow attacks by up to 40%, and upgrades Lethal Shot into a multi-hit skill. Among the reworked 'Pierce' skills, Spiral Pierce additionally applies Hold.

The buff system is built around legendary enhancements. Legendary Archer (★★★★) grants +25% attack, +20% physical skill critical rate and damage, and a 50% chance to add an extra hit to Lethal Shot, while its pinnacle Legendary Archer: Master (★★★★★) raises attack by +30% and +3000 and adds +20% pull chance. Pin Point (★★) gives +3000 attack, +15% physical skill crit and −10% to their cooldown, plus a 50% chance to add an extra hit to Double Shot. Some crowd control moved into buffs: Binding Shot (★★) became a buff that applies Immobilize on attack, as does Hamstring Shot. The defensive ultimate Ultimate Evasion: Archer caps it off — +5000 P. Def, +25% evasion against all skills and +30% debuff resistance for 20 seconds (the rework shortened its cooldown and added effects).

The passive tree was reworked too. Trinity (★) — the former active Triple Shot turned into a passive: +5% attack, +500 defense, +10% crit and +10% PvE damage. Agile Body: Archer (★★) scales power with DEX, granting up to +10% attack and +15% PvE damage at DEX 75+, Combat Sense restores MP on a Double / Lethal Shot crit, and Archer Weapon Mastery and Archer Armor Mastery had their max level raised (+2000 attack and +800 defense, +8% all skill power, +2000 HP). The attacking arsenal is crowned by Legendary Shot (★★★★★), available in the Legendary Archer: Master transformation: +15000 power, 15% defense ignore, the Focus Sniping effect (penetrating the target's skill evasion) and the now-baseline Focus Arrow extra hit with a ×2.3 critical multiplier. In the rework its HP penalty was removed and its physical-skill-power effect was replaced with the Legendary Archer buff.

In the end the Sniper became a flexible long-range damage dealer combining single-target burst and area damage with a unique focus mode Lock On, strong bow-resistance debuffs (True Target), control via Immobilize and Pull (Spiral Shot, Binding Shot), and a multi-stage system of legendary buffs and transformations. The support active skills Legendary Cloak and Detect Darkness (removing stealth within a 1000 radius) round out the kit.
