Eagle Eye 3pc bonus does not affect Bound Armaments

Hello.

After some tests, I came to the conclusion that Eagle Eye 3pc bonus does not affect damage part of Bound Armaments ability.

Two things must be said right away:
  1. Bound Armaments is ranged ability (for example, it triggers Melee Supremacy buff from Diamond's Victory set)
  2. Bound Armaments is direct ability (for example, it procs Reaving Blows cp star)
So, technically, this skill can be considered a series of small Snipes in terms of mechanic.

Now, here are a series of tests I ran to test my hypothesis (actually there are more of them but I have selected the most relevant ones). No swaps, no potions - just 3xSnipes, 1xBA rotation.

On both tests, with a fairly good selection of hits, Bound Armaments deals critical strike about 7% less often than Snipes and Light Attacks. And do you know what? Purple Eagle Eye 3pc bonus gives exactly 7.3% of critical chance.

My sample may not be representative enough (later I can try again), but I think it gives me good reason to believe that the set is not working with Bound Armaments. It has to be fixed.
Everything is viable
