Does it still fire off in the direction you face (missing most of the time unless you do some awkward manual close up aiming) when you use skills without a unit target? Like any aoe of elixirs or skills without a target.

Can you please make it go to the targeted enemy or the nearest enemy in those scenarios?

It was not broken. It is an intended functionality.

Doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be improved.

without a crosshair on the screen, and vertical offset of the camera, it is extremely hard to aim and really inconvenient to use, unless you stack-tank bosses in PvE.

Additionally it triggers quite inconsistent, depending on the skill triggering it.
Surprise-shot will fire it almost instantly right after, while the underwater-skill delays its trigger almost by a second.

Yes, it’s not broken, still it needs some polish in the future, even tho the changes would be complex enough to not expect it already next Tuesday. Still, with all the trait-changes, future balancing will be necessary, and with that opportunity it’d be awesome if this trait could get some attention as well.

All I want is for SD procs from instant skills to have the same power coefficient kitten procs from non-instant skills.

This will be more annoying now because SD will be run in a lot more builds just based on the traits it competes against. When running SD burst, you get toolkit and rifle turret for the easy procs, but it’s a lot harder with things like slick shoes, bombs, EGun, all elixirs, FT, and all the elites now.
