Did they finally work around Snipe?

Mind if I ask what made you think the JQ Hoguls have the boss flag?

Certainly. The reason is when I sniped it, it took the near 200k dmg, but didn't die. The only other cases I can see that happening is with monsters that have a boss flag, since otherwise, snipe has the inherent ability to OKO (outside of other glitched instances where it does far more damage than possible, leading to a d/c). I would actually be happy to be proven wrong here since it would mean they have another means to prevent sniping where it doesn't belong, so feel free to look into it.
