Getting annoyed by snipe... -__-

What I'm getting annoyed by is the horde of QQers here on the forums.

And lastly, I still see more magicka builds (especially flapflap tank everything DKs) than archers in Cyrodiil...

I think that is what OP was referring too.... too many of these chuckleheads are such poor players that I think they picked up the bow to double snipe off those wing snipes. Reason I play PvP a lot is its fun to laugh at just how many of these cookie cutter OP builds dont know how to play and I can steam roll em.

I think the most annoying thing about snipe is that you'll be having a legit fight with someone and then you have to bail because all of a sudden you're getting raked on by virtually any noob with a bow.

All I can say is, when I'm running around doing my thing and I notice someone sniping me, they automatically become priority #1 on the "MUST KILL RIGHT NOW" list, no matter what the situation, if I don't focus them and kill them, then I'll have a hard time.

Anytime I see a bow user, doesn't matter where I am or what situation I am in, I tunnelvision them and make sure they die

Snipers are only good to support people 1vs1 they really suck they only kill you if you are in a melee fight with some 1 else

Not really. They're useful in lots of different ways. If I'm in a group or running with a zerg I always make sure to try and take out the players on meatbags or the healers at the back first. That frees up the rest of the group/zerg to kill players instead of rushing to the back lines.

Also helps if there's a small skirmish on the way to somewhere. Nuke them with snipes and let the other players finish them off instead of fighting a battle of attrition.

Then you need to face my VR14:D

snipe needs to be adressed without a doubt. I play cyrodiil to have some exciting pvp and not to get 2 shot in two seconds from nowhere when ward and immovable wears off.

Exciting PvP=spam immovable & all possible dmg shields while holding block?

While I don't agree with being able to one shot people, I don't agree with being unable to kill someone unless he/she happens to be out of stamina and/or magicka.


PvP currently (against decent players):
less than 3k health? Dead in 0,1 seconds
more than 3k health? Dead in 15-30 mins or never

There is something seriously messed up there.

1.6 will allow you to use Champion's Points to reduce block cost and make the strength of damage shields stronger.

The game is about to get much more unbalanced.

you have to spend ton of points to come to a spot similar to life server efficiancy.

Yup, snipe is about to become just another skill.

Templars on the other hand, they're about to become seriously OP.

Have done.

Radiant destruction hits for between 11-14k confirmed and probably more with a high magicka damage spec. It's a ridiculous templar execute which has the potential to execute from up to 40% health. I can see every bombplar using it as often as possible, especially in XvX combat or keep defense.

IM laughing. Snipe isnt any more effective then other combat skills. IF someone comes at be block casting my bow becomes virtually useless...I have to use other abilities in order to get a hit in.

As a NB ambush, plus the other stuff is more effective really. Dying by a bow means you were dumb, occupied or held up..so its justly so. Bow is one of the easiest avoided combat skills in the game, it just hurts the most...as it should.

Mucked around with snipe in the PTS, it's a bit 'meh' compared to where we are now.

Doubt I'll invest anything into bow in 1.6

yes, I'm getting the impression that they re upped our stats and introduced this champion system so they could muck with all the current things that seem to be warranting complaints...like lethal arrow. My lethal arrow now takes three or four shots to kill a vet ten?..when it used to take no more than two?..yea something is amiss.

kijima

You shouldn't be able to kill anyone with 4 snipe/lethal/focused aims.

By the time the bow user has had the time to fire off four of those, you should have reacted and got in their face. Dodge roll, shields etc.

More now than ever, if you get killed by bow with snipe and morphs, then it shows you need to improve your strategy and game play style (that's just a nice way of saying L2P I guess) but at any rate I'll be dropping by and going for more survivability/tanky build.

Does it seriously bother any v14s? Only people I can take out with it are always lower level and even my squishy ganking build doesnt get taken out in 1-2 hits. If its annoying that they can hit you from way out of your range then just run further away and we cant hit you either. Line of sighting us works wonders too since its got a longer cast time. Also reflective scales or piercing mark completely counters us. Piercing because our only defense is re positioning once we are seen and if we cant do that we die.

Roechacca

Good .

xxslam48xxb14_ESO

Also dont play vamp because we can actually 1 shot you at v14 if we use camo hunter.

DDuke

Well, Snipe got nerfed (again) on PTS, so I hope the QQers are happy and find some other skill to cry about (not Dual Wield please). How about the fan favorite, Scales? Or perhaps Crystal Shards next? I heard they hit quite hard in 1.6.

I couldn't care less, as I stated, this skill became replacable after the 1.5 nerf, and I probably won't be using bow at all after 1.6.

I'll probably be complaining about lack of build diversity again, when no one I kill is using bow anymore.

DK reflect arrows like they breath.
Teleporting mages are very good at getting out of range
NB might be able to sneak away (unless they are "marked")

And all class can roll away avoiding all the arrows.

But yes, it hurts :-/
