Snipe is a skill gem that supports linked bow skills. It is a channelling bow attack that gains stages while channelling. When released, it triggers a linked non-channelling 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.

Skill functions and interactions

The gem has two functions:
As Snipe:

    • This Skill's Arrows deal (70–108)% more Damage with Hits per Stage
    • This Skill's Arrows deal (50–80)% more Damage with Ailments per Stage
