Balanc,

[Awakened Roll Attack] damage reduced: 6642% → 5977%

/\c29\Sniper

Sniper hold left click gameplay in Siege Stance was fucking lame. Windshot also constantly failed; especially if you have high ping. Scrapped it all for a completely new playstyle. I expect this SHOULD be weaker than the previous version of Sniper. We can hotfix buff it as we see fit. I'd rather release something underpowered and ridiculously overpowered.
