Headshot is a passive AA ability that only Rangers can purchase. It provides a chance that any Archery based attack on a lower-level humanoid mob can hit for extremely high damage, typically a one-shot kill. The damage is treated as physical damage and cannot be mitigated or resisted. It works with both regular Archery and any spells that use an "Archery Skill Attack" (like the "Hail/Arc/Barrage of Arrows" directional AE spell line), as well as thrown weapons. This information is current up to the House of Thule expansion:

Note: There seems to be variance in the damage done. It is not clear at this time what causes the difference, however Hunter's Fury will affect the damage output positively (damage not listed for Hunter's Fury).
