Blizzard clarified a hunter talent: Sniper Shot hits harder than Aimed Shot

30.09.2026

The description of Forever's new hunter talent Sniper Shot had an error — the wording compared the ability to itself. Blizzard, through the development team, confirmed the correct version: Sniper Shot hits harder than Aimed Shot.

The description of the Sniper Shot talent for Forever included a phrase saying it hits 'even harder than Sniper Shot' — that is, harder than itself. A player flagged it, and the wording was aligned with the development team: the description now compares the talent to Aimed Shot, the hunter's baseline aimed shot.

What Sniper Shot does, per the updated description:

  • requires the active Trueshot Aura;
  • 4-second cast time;
  • 15-second cooldown;
  • base range of 45 yards;
  • extends the range of the next three shots by 10 yards.

The talent sits in the golden 31-point slot — the final talent of the tree.

In practice:

  • Sniper Shot is the hunter's final 'big' shot: long cast, rare trigger, high damage.
  • The comparison with Aimed Shot is now direct: Sniper Shot is an enhanced version of the aimed shot, not a replacement.
  • Trueshot Aura as a requirement makes the talent rotation-dependent: you can only use it under the aura.
  • The range bonus on the next three shots will come in handy in fights at range and against mobile targets.
