Sort of (Destiny)

High aim assist on snipers makes the bullets magnetic at longer ranges. It's weird. Short to mid range aim assist does nothing at all. And very long ranges, high aim assist snipers will have the bullets fire closer to center mass of the target. With really high values, like Icebreaker, you can literally set your crosshair to miss the shot over their shoulder and you'll get a headshot. With 1000 yard stare it's not quite that extreme (50 assist vs. 80 from icebreaker) but it's enough that shots you'd make with 1kys would miss with praedith's.

The drawback is, as you mentioned, how sticky the crosshairs are when you're sniping through traffic. Praedith's goes where you aim it, period. As a long time CoD player where every gun does that, I LOVE praedith's. 1kys can be dragged out of aim by a crossing enemy, or - if you're aiming at their chin - may end up with a body shot instead of a head shot. Still, I'm using a 1kys with the ambush right now and it's the best feeling 2.0 sniper I've found. I really love those "light and snappy" scopes.
