<DIV>You are comparing apples and oranges here.  The only problem I have with Sniper's Shot isnt the recast timer its the casting timer that sux.  RoA > Sniper's Shot even on a single target.  People are confusing straight damge vs. DPS.  DPS =  Damage Per Second or Damage over Time.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>RoA w/o casting timer increased is roughly 3K Damage w/ 2.0s casting time.  Roughly equates to 1,500 DPS.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Sniper's Shot is roughly 7K Damage w/ 5.0s casting time.  Roughly equats to 1,400 DPS.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Even when RoA crits (which from what I understand is +30%, could be wrong) it is better.  Sniper's Shot +30% crit of 7k = 9,100 / 5.0s cast time = 1,820 DPS vs RoA +30% crit of 3k = 3900 / 2 = 1,950 DPS.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So to better answer your question.  There is no way in hell I would trade the 2.</DIV>

No, but id like to see snipers shot doubled in power. Or a level 70 version doubled in power.. 5000 damage 5 seconds = 1000 dps.. 8000 damage 0.5 seconds 16000 dps.. Plus whatever you can get in 5 seconds.  Plus your missing out on 2-3k damage on auto attack in that 5 seconds..  So, 1000 dps through a CA 0 dps through auto attack.. Hmmm, im better off avoiding using it.. Or just using it when im heading out of joust (surviel then snipers).
