I like the feel of Way of the Sniper, but given how hard it is for ranged combatants to make enemies flat-footed, I'm not sure how often Vital Shot will be practical. The Sniper is already spending an action every turn to reload; if they also need an action to Hide, and two actions for Vital Shot, they don't really have time to use it with any regularity.
Am I missing some other way to make distant enemies flat-footed? Or is Vital Shot intended to be situational?
