Targeting and features

Current living hostile target → No living hostile target: no cast

Requirements

  • Sniper Shot learned; first recorded spellbook level 40.
  • Select Sniper Shot in Marksmanship: minimum 31 valid points in that tree including this talent; prerequisite Trueshot Aura 1/1. Legacy point eligibility does not establish early spell acquisition.
  • Usable ranged weapon and ammunition; enemy 8–35 yards away.

Known limitations

  • Research only: not tested in the Forever client. Beta spell names, parser behaviour and requirements may change.
  • English spell names; check your spellbook and actual learned rank. Source IDs identify reference ranks, not a forced rank-1 cast.
  • Range, line of sight, resources, cooldowns and the global cooldown still apply. A macro does not detect readiness or choose your next combat action.
  • The source records a four-second cast. This does not aim automatically, cancel a channel, stop Auto Shot or align a shot rotation.

Notes

  • Researched 27 September 2026 against source beta build 1.60.1.70009. Spec lists are recommendations; actual learned spells and selected talents determine eligibility.
