[dev1110] Corsair Snake Eye Bug

Last night I played cor in dyna Xarc. I've been anxious to see the new Snake Eye in action. The way it was described in the version update notes left it's new meaning open to interpretation. Some of us thought it would make it so if you used snake eye while having 5 or higher, you could either roll a 1 or up to 11. I personally thought it meant Snake eye was entirely the same, but having it fully meritted gave you a 5% per merit more chance of rolling 11 from 5 or greater all the time without having the ability up.

Anyway, last night I was experiencing bugs. There was a couple times that I had 3 for chaos roll or 4 on tactitions roll and wanted to snake eye->double up to reach the lucky number for either. upon using snake eye and doubling up, I rolled greater than 1 and passed the lucky number even tho I had used Snake Eye. Please address these issues.

I also highly recommend seperating the use of the job ability and the 5% increase in probability of rolling an 11 when you have 5 or greater provided by the merits. Snake Eye ability is supposed to be about adding a bit of control to a job where you're performance lies with the randomness of dice. By taking away this control and making it either roll a 1 or another number to reach 11 the ability has only lost it's purpose in my opinion. Also, I must say out of all the times I used it with 5 or higher last night. I got an 11 maybe 3 out of 15 times tried. That may line up with what the probability is supposed to be but I definitely had less fun on COR last night and I kno that wasn't the development team's goal with this change. Thank you very much for your time.
