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.
