I was exploring Auric Basin and saw a gathering node. There was a pocket raptor somewhat close, but with a decent gap between the node and it, I thought myself safe.
It turns out pocket raptors are actually snipers that hit from >600 units away with what looks like a melee attack.
No real warning or way to dodge (outside of preemptive dodging) since the damage occurs before the animation even begins. And, of course, they swarm, leading to downed status and death in mere seconds, despite the gap.
This isn’t as bad as the Living Story bugs, but it’s still very frustrating and needs to be addressed. Please don’t let the pocket raptors keep their sniper rifles.
