Snipe is a skill gem that supports linked bow skills. It is a channelling bow attack that gains stages while channeling. When released, it triggers a linked non-channeling bow skill for each stage stored and deals more damage per stage. If Snipe is not linked to any applicable skills, it instead fires its own arrow.

The skill has two variants. The active skill variant is Snipe (id: ChannelledSnipe), while as a support it is known as ChannelledSnipeSupport internally.
