I am on a horse with full stamina, and then I see a death recap like in the attached screenshots:
I am VR14 5 medium 2 heavy and it takes a second to shot me?! No fighting chance, and another 5 minutes travel to the battelfield.
Is there really only a two play styles available for PvP right now: shoot from behind and zerg? Sad times...
You have to dispel the dot, also block when you hear the sound of it coming in.

That said: I hate stealth gameplay with a passion and hope that one day it won´t be vaible anymore. I´d trade bolt escape for that.

Funny that. I really don't like the whole out in the open sustain, resource management, shield stacking game play. I start to get jumpy if I don't see a closed eye. That said, I'm not a fan of the bow sniping for 12k play style either. I only wish I could get solid 12k hits from concealed weapon. My magicka melee NB has been gimped into Oblivion. Plus I've got to get close and worry about all the anti-stealth/invis counter measures.
most of these people cant defend themselves very well. I know this because this is how my VR14 is built. I do a crap ton of damage, but my survivablility is low.
this is nothing new. People have been dealing with this for months. learn to re-act quick enough and charge the sniper if you can.

90% i die is from bow spam, its irritating and takes near 0 skill to pull off, the other 10% is from skaffa and his petrify wrecking blow combo, lol.
i want a good fight that i can actually fight back, i tried radiant magelight and it was still happening 1-2 shot, so there is no point in using that (maybe its bugged). best counter i have found is to used defensive rune, it stuns them, maybe giving you time to put on a shield again. but when there are 2 or more of these bow users there is no counter to that, they are like machine gun turrets and they are always out of range of your attacks before you eat 2 or 3 lethal arrows to the face.

in RvR PVP-- the only way you will ever get a fair fight is to join a dueling guild.
If this were a real war-- and you represented side A, and in your travels you came upon a lone soldier from side B while with your squad.
What do you and your squad do....?

Physical damage is off the charts yet what are people clamoring for? Nerf Sorc shields lol.
These LolSnipers need to go play call of duty or something. Players 1-shotting each other is not the way the game should play.
How on earth did you eat a 22k wrecking blow? Cause even stacking weapon damage I come no where near that. Was it from stealth? Or maybe after he blocked a heavy attack?

I see the regular sorc wail squad has arrived at this thread already after detouring from the "shield QQ" threads.
That kittysoftpaws fellow is a freaking Ninja. I don't think I've ever actually seen him anywhere other than my death recap / =
I hate snipe spam but understand its part of the game. Only two fixes I want from bows:
-Fix the health desync bug
-You should not be able to go back to stealth after using snipe (unless you use a pot or cloak)

People sprint back to the fight as fast as possible without thinking, but take your time and keep your guard up and it cripples people like me.
Also, listen carefully. The sfx for lethal plays before the arrow lands, that's when you dodge or block.
