mmm stand and deliver does not seem to be working with IPS, is that WAI?

as soon as I turn on Improved Precise Shot, I lose all my stacks of "Stand and Deliver" THey do not build back up as long as IPS is on. As soon as I turn off IPS I start build up stacks again.

Is this working as intended?

probably it is.....working as intended, you gota admit u45 has now screwed nearly everyone over (apart from sorcs.. soon...sooon m8) So yes I say its working as designed.

I don't remember this in discussions nor the release notes.

Any chance for the devs to let us know the intention here?

I think this was posted on the weekend. Maybe they did not see it???

What a strange place SSG is. All we want is some communication.

Edit: From the ddowiki:
Stand and Deliver: Passive Bonus: While standing still you gain +1 competence bonus (https://ddowiki.com/page/Competence_bonus) to ranged damage and +1% Spell Power every few seconds, stacking up to ten times. Passive Bonus: +1 Critical Damage Multiplier on rolls of 19-20.Note: Does not increase Spell Power by a percent bonus, but rather by a flat +1 per stack.

So is the spell power part of the active stand still part broken /ie not showing up too?
What about the passive +1 crit multi, is that part working? (should be on all the time?)

It could be WAI but certainly not working as described and it was never put on any release notes. So if it is WAI, they should announce that in update notes and also in the skill description, because its description only requires you to be standing still and not to be out of IPS. Either way, it's very hard for you to be effectively benefitting from IPS at the same time as you get any SaD bonus.

I used to use SaD and IPS together all the time to great effect. But I also play my ranged characters with a heavy does of CC. Pin, Ottos, Stay frosty, nerve venom, KD. If you set up before the mobs know you are there, you can build SaD stacks and then start shooting. But not right now with whatever is wrong between SaD and IPS.
