I have to wait. Seconds count. Again, damage isn't what I wanted. And the uniqueness is now lost. Everyone gets instasnipe.
Thank you for your lucid, relevant post that actually addresses the questions posed. I don't like the answer, but at least it makes some sense.
Almost everyone is 50 in a few weeks at most in HC. I am an end-game build and I WAS enjoying it. And I liked being the only build enjoying it. I liked watching others wind up while I was moving on to the next attack. I don't like waiting for my snipe after I worked hard and sacrificed other slots for instasnipe... under any circumstances. I don't like respecing days after completing a build that I spent weeks on mids planning and reading forums. And I certainly don't like having to close 60 range for my new opener or wait to be attacked, in stealth, just to instacast my snipe - that's just backwards. I'm pissed. I literally just finished the build. That shouldn't be hard to understand.
Still have the same issue: Why does everyone need instasnipe? I don't think there's a good reason. Sacrifice slots for it just like I did.
There's a little too much giving it all away for free going on around here, me thinks. Not good for longevity. Perhaps no one is counting on that anyway.
