Snipe is a basic Ranged ability. It is unusual for only dealing damage after 1.8 seconds, although it hits consistently well for a basic.
When used, the player will take aim at their target; after 1.8 seconds, the player will deal 125-219% ability damage averaging at 172%. If in PvP the targeted player will have their protective/deflect prayers disabled for a few seconds. Using another ability before Snipe is finished will cancel the effect, but the player will still retain the Adrenaline generated.
One interesting use of Snipe is at tormented demons, which change protection prayers after 3100 damage from one combat style. Any hit that passes the 3100 mark will still hit for full, so Snipe can be used to far exceed that cap before switching from Ranged to another combat style.
Trivia
- Snipe used to require 3 seconds before hitting a target, and it would deal 100-210% weapon damage. This was changed on 21 January 2014.
