    The Maintain portion of OV Sniper Gloves appears to have just... gone missing? Funky.

    I had previously earned the Gloves of the Sniper for my DPS with the Pulse Beam Rifle maintain power and back when I got it I did see that it was boosting damage. Testing this new version, it doesn't seem to add to damage at all - I see no Piercing damage reported. Was this an intentional change or will Gloves of the Sniper also apply to maintain and/or toggle powers in a future update?

    If this is an intended change, can we get some kind of ability to convert existing Gloves of the Sniper into something else?

    Please make an official statement on what is going on with Sniper gloves!

    Was the bonus with maintenance powers intentional? Why did it just vanished?
    Was it intentional?
    Is it a Bug?
    Or a temporary issue until the gloves get updated further?

    Recycling existing Zstore auras for multiple rainbow ones is not a bad idea! More variety

    Everything else is here but Petal Cloud Aura Pack is not available

    The bonus damage on Maintained powers was always a part of the Sniper Gloves; both the old tooltip and the updated version from just a week ago stated it but for whatever reason lumped Maintains+Toggles and Clicks+Charges into two different categories.

    As of now, the Maintains+Toggles side of it has just completely poofed out of nowhere, while (and take it with a grain of salt, I've been told this is apparently happening by others but haven't paid attention to it myself) apparently it's not working properly with Clicks and Charges either.

    ... Honestly, this is why Sniper Gloves should just get turned into a ranged version of Slicer Gloves, 100% identical instead of faffing about with whatever unfathomable spaghetti's holding Sniper's janky garbage together. But I digress.



    On an unrelated note, Z-store wonkiness ahoy! But once THAT bit of bugginess gets sorted through, even more auras to play with! Hooray!

    Before even the update, something changed with the Sniper Gloves (unintentional or intentional?) because they NO LONG Convert the Critical Hit damage into 10% bonus. I even have GIFs from testing PTS powers to show they Crit

    It just flat out fail now

    The Burst used to be able to Critical Hit but now it doesn't
