Merciful Shot bugged?

[Drachmoril]

Has anyone else noticed Merciful Shot does not consistently apply 500 damage to eligible targets? I am confident my targets are below 50% health, and their taking sneak attack damage informs me they are vulnerable to sneak attacks.

And you're sure the shot doesnt miss?

Yes, the shot hits deals damage as normal. I believe I have seen the 500 damage dealt properly to some tankier targets (I'm in heroics), but it is very consistently failing to apply 500 damage to most trash. I am almost always activating this ability immediately after a Sniper Shot in order to render my target susceptible to sneak attacks.

How immediately? Might be a lag issue, the server not recognizing the sneak debuff before it processes Merciful

I've noticed sometimes I'll hit Hunts End + Shoot Later, and the boost doesn't apply to it, it kicks in on the next auto attack. If I pause a beat it usually clears it up
