Piercing Mark skill is not increasing Focus Aim skill range

Piercing Mark skill when used is supposed to increase the range of Focus Aim. This is broken.The range is NOT increased when the Piercing Mark skill is used.
This is important to bow users in AvA who had the Snipe skill line range and its mods reduced in the last patch.

Please fix.

    Piercing mark doesnt increase range of snipe or any other ability. That specific morph of mark target reduces the cost of the ability and you can see someone if he go in stealth or become invisible. I think you got it mistaken for what focused aim does which is exactly that increases the range of your abilities by 5 meters on the target hit by focused aim.

    The specific words used to describe the PIERCING MARK skill are:
    "Marked targets can then be hit by ranged attacks from an additional 5 meters away".

    To me that says I get an additional 5 meters of range. My attack uses "Piercing Mark" . How else can the words be interpreted than I get 5 meters when I mark my target ?

    You're confusing the skills, Piercing Mark does not say that anywhere in the skill description:

    Focused Aim, however, does say that:

    Focused Aim has its own distinct "Mark" effect.
    Piercing Mark is shown with a large red aura.
    Focused Aim is shown with a large beige/golden aura. This aura is the "marked" effect that the skill description refers to.

    yep same for me. Range is definitely decreased.

    Many will use these in tandem.

    Piercing Mark is broken, regardless. It absolutely refuses to show a target after they hide or stealth.

    ..Than what's the @#%$! point, Zeni!?

    That is odd.. Skill works fine for me.. You are using this right? One of the morphs..

    Piercing Mark

    Cast Time Instant
    Target Enemy
    Range 50 meters
    Duration 60 seconds
    Cost 53 Magicka

    Marks a target for death. Player's attacks ignore 75% of target's Armor and Spell Resistance, but target's attacks ignore 75% of player's Armor and Spell Resistance. Killing a marked target restores player's Health by 40%. Marked targets are revealed to player.

    New Effect:
    Reduced cost and you can see target if they stealth or go invisible.

    Piercing Mark works fine. People can purge it though. As a NB assassin I have Purge on my secondary weapon specifically to counter PM.
