need clarification on Snipe skills description

So the skill's description says:
"Fire a carefully aimed shot for a chance to defeat an enemy with a single arrow. Boss monsters resist this effect, but still take severe damage. Max Attacks vs. Boss Monsters: 6."

What does "Max Attack vs. Boss Monsters:6" mean? Does it mean we can only use this skill on a boss monster 6 times? Someone with experience please teach me on what this skill's description means please. Thank you.

okay, people are writing paragraphs for an easy concept . .
here it is in simple terms

normal monsters - 1 hit ko
bosses - 6 hit attack like US

the above explained pretty well but I'd like to add in some numbers:
if the enemy is a normal mob it deals like 950-999k(random) Always a 1hko.
at party zones/bosses it does a set % dmg at 100% crit and ignores defense(see desciption of skill)
example max snipe does 720%x6 at 100% crit and ignores 60% defense with a 5 second cool down. not counting hypers.
Edit: even at level 1 snipe does a very large amount of damage to things it doesn't 1hko.

[quote=tecul1]Snipe is increased to 8 hits and a hyper skill upgrade gives snipe 2 more hits.[/quote]

It is increased to 9. I think most, if not all, bonus hit hypers give 1 hit.

OT: the Snipe description is accurate.

Against normal mobs, arrows shot: 1, number of hits: 1, instant kill rate: 100%
Against bosses, arrows shot: 1, number of hits: 6, instant kill rate: 0%

[quote=blazi4ever]Pretty much what everyone else said in the above.

When hyperskills come out, Sniping will be able to hit up to x10 with 510% damage on boss monsters (including the hyperskill additional line) with no CD (hyperskill bonus). It will still retain the 1-hit KO on regular monsters except being spammable (obtained at 195).[/quote]

I don't believe we get ten hits til the unlimited patch which is well after hypers if i'm not mistaken?

Its because you cant 1hko bosses haha.
Dont know if you played Luminous, but it has the same effect as ender.
If you use snipe on a normal monsters, it does something around 9xxk. But if you use it on a boss, you get 6lines of damage.

okaythen

Snipe hits 6 times on bosses.
Snipe hits 1 time on monsters, instantly killing them.
