This is by far the most complete list of bugs I've seen for cover. For the record though, Entrench DOES work in natural cover, but the issue is that when your sniper turns for an animation, it breaks the entrench. This is why I never roll into cover.

I'm pretty sure what the OP is referring to is that more abilities than just rifle shot are counted as "Normal Attacks." A Special Attack should never Miss. It'll be Dodged or Deflected, but it'll never pop up as a Miss (Unless accuracy reducing debuffs are in effect.) To OP: Try it more against training dummies. See if it still happens. Also, I believe that the Cull procs still go off even if the white damage doesn't land. Otherwise people would just hit evasion when they see the Cull crosshairs.

Getting Stunned or KD'd always solved it for me in Voidstar. Pre 1.2 I'd sometimes get stuck in that jumping animation where you just float around, unable to take cover. Falling solves that bug.

Whenever you turn while in natural cover, it drops entrench/ballistic shield. This includes turning brought on by abilities autoturning towards the target

There is currently a bug regarding Ballistic Shield and Entrench that occurs only during taking Cover in Natural Cover (Rolling into cover.) Currently, when either/both of those buffs are active and the sniper attacks an enemy 90 degrees to either side, the sniper turns in cover, causing the buffs to drop. Let's get awareness up and get it fixed.

Accuracy is a little strange... I have >5% accuracy bonus, and I still get dodged/deflected by classes that aren't Assassins/Shadows. The interesting thing is that I get dodged for ranged damage against Force classes instead of deflected. Makes me wonder if there's a bug in defense calculations somewhere.

The Rakata armoring doesn't have the set bonus, only the shell does. You'd have to plug campaign gear into BM to get the set bonus from Campaign gear. Again, you can't move Rakata/Battlemaster set bonuses.

In regards to the OP, WoW got a great reputation as an MMO; it was fun and addictive. Real gamers loved it. And then the casuals came around to see what all the fuss was about. And they got jealous. So Blizzard nerfed the entire game into the ground to appease the whining masses.

Whoever told you that anything >500 is a waste is a complete moron. You are right in wanting cunning and power, but also don't let crit/surge fall too low. 30% crit with self buff + stim and ~70% surge are good spots for those stats, and everything else should be in cunning/power. Depending on your build, 3% accuracy from talents is a good start; I only tacked on 2% on top of that, and half of that bonus was from Scorpio's legacy bonus. We have it easy for damage computations as snipers: Average(min, max) + [average(min, max) * crit/100 * surge/100] for baseline, and then take that number and multiply it by 1.x where x is your expertise % bonus. That'll give you a strong estimate of your damage potential

Really? Dive into your keybindings and find the one that says "Target Center Screen" Make that TAB. Quit whining and learn how to Center Screen Target

My guess is that you have very low Expertise, OP. Since 1.2, Expertise is vital for PvP, more than any other stat.

It definitely procs; just keep in mind that it can only proc once every 30 seconds

Psst Snapshot + Laze still has superfast animation. >.> <.< you didn't hear it from me.
