I've always thought the sudden loss of your HP was warning enough...

lol, Archy
I like this though, it'd be handy for travelling around PI. It should also tell you where it is
EDIT: PI, not IP =P
IP? It's to the west of Steel Canyon, Kings Row and Brickstown. You'll know you're there when you smell the octopus on the air.
Interesting suggestion, though, as Archy said, the sudden loss of HP pretty much does the same thing.

or even better - PI just ask the staff on board the ferry when you leave Talos. Not that many snipers about in IP to need to worry about.
Personally I prefer the warning message saying Missed appearing above my head - not reliable enough though.

Point is, sniper powers have several seconds of wind-up before they fire. If you can get out of LoS in that time, the power fails and you don't get the sudden loss of health.

NPC sniper powers do not need LOS after they start to shoot you, so hiding around a corner from them wont work. So your suggestion would only work in PvP
So, I was watching NCIS and I got this idea for a temp power, maybe something to be obtained on a Crey or nemesis mission. Maybe you could buy them in some PvP Zones.
Basically, when you get targetted by a sniper, it tosses up a warning message. For PvE it would trigger when the mob locks on, for PvP it would trigger when a sniping power is activated.
Just a throw away thought.
