precision feat

[chodelord]

appears to suck on paper

according to ddo wiki it also halves sneak attack damage which is hideous

is there any situation where it is useful?

Against a mob where you can only hit on, say, an 18/19 at the end of your attack sequence. But then, there's better ways to get your to-hit up to par.

They added a 25% fort bypass in U7. It turned a Terrible Feat into a Teribble Feat.

There's been some discussion on the rogue forums about the new additions to the precision feat. Since rogues get most of their damage from SA, the 25% fort bypass and increased accuracy far outweighs the loss in base dmg, when attacking fortified mobs. This feat (and opportunist) still doesn't allow SA on SA-immune mobs like undead, however, there has been some dev discussion about changing that iirc.

It halves SA damage too. And rogues are somewhat feat starved.
