Snipe not broken, nothing to fix.

Go back to your Gina thread lol but seriously tho it is broken

snipe is easy to counter since you can hear it a mile away.

I already said this but I'll say it again you hear it coming ture but with this bug you don't you get hit your resource go to 0% and seconds later you die and it shows 5 snipes and with this bug you hear it at the moment your resources are 0%.. so please read before you post something..

your ressources dont go to 0 from snipe.
your ressources go to 0 if you die.

Snipe isnt broken, you just lag and get killed by multiple hitting you at the same time, cos you lag.

Lol another one.. Your resources go to 0% but your health is still 100% for 2 seconds and then you die and get the death recap all it says is snipe from the same person and they all hit at once.. So it is broken

no its not broken, snipe does NOT do anything to you mag or stam, neiher does any other skill. DEATH brings them to 0.
The fact that health stays at 100 shows just that there is lag/desync, which probably comes from YOUR connection.

nothing to fix

Even friends who play with a good internet connection it happends to and also friend who play straight from the cable get this...

You can't adapt to lag. If your resources deplete instantly that means the server lagged and you were desynced.
It haha to me all the time. Just minding my business waiting for a wall to come down, resources drop, still at full health, then fall over dead with 5 Snipes on my recap.

5 snipes? How much health do you have, 40/50k? Majority of people drop dead after 2 snipes if not countered or healed up. Either that or the person sniping you must be a lowbie with no damage whatsoever.

It depends most of the time it's 4-5 snipes I had a few times where someone hit me with 2 snipes but mostly 4-5. First snipe hits for 6-9K and the others for 2-4K and my sorc has 22-23K health

Bows at a long distance and when fired correctly are lethal. Rule of thumb is dont go afk, dont go around unbuffed, and dont run behind a wall before you start casting heals, reflect, absorb, shield, etc.

A lot of people don't seem to get this.

LoS won't protect you from bow abilities if you were in the open when they were fired. For example, you can peek out from behind a wall only long enough to cast Toxic Barrage, then run back behind that wall and listen to your opponent die as your arrows apparently fire through stone.

When I can see or hear the snipe coming I shield up harness, hardened and then roll dodge to avoid the second snipe and I do use LoS after the roll dodging pop a stam pot go to overload and drop mines put boundless storm on defensive rune and go out of overload and shield up again and then fight. Solo snipers are easy crushing shock (interrupt) proc frag endless fury done

OP is asking for a FIX to a broken ability that causes lag which prevents us from countering it in anyway. Why are there people telling him to adapt or accusing him of whining for nerf?

I don't get how people don't understand this. Do people not read The OP.

They can't be bothered to read, but they sure love to type.

When I complained here about the invisible people bug, half of the responses I got were from people telling me to learn how to deal with cloaked enemies.

I haven't see the invisible people bug yet but I did see it on ethaniel's video he was putting talons on him he never came out of stealth..

As others mentioned, the audio cue from snipe gives you a big heads up, also if you sacrifice an ability slot for radiant magelight, you will rarely get ganked. It removes the stun and cuts the damage in half.

As I metioned its hard to see and hear the snipes coming when they all it at once and your stam and magicka goes to 0 its too late to do anything then.. And I use radiant but when I am fighting someone and I am on my damage bar get sniped and the lag or bug kicks in then I can do nothing my mag and stam go to 0 and my health drops to 0 after 2 seconds but when I am traveling on a mount I stay on my resto bar which has radiant on it

inb4 typical ZOS over correction and subsequent nerfing into the ground of Snipe

That's a low level or noob sniper. I can take 22-23 K health down in 2 hits most of the time.

There's no way 4-5 hits can all come from snipe in 2-3 seconds from one person. It takes at least a second, maybe more just to draw back and release the second shot.

I really wish I could play on your server. xD
My enemies certainly don't give me the time to switch to Overload bar and buff with something like Boundless and Rune. By the time Rune would be applied, my shields would be down. Would I have to exit OL bar, I'd be dead. =/
And Crushing+Fury+Frag does it for ya? Wouldn't even bring the super tanks in my realm to 50%... (x.x)

Apart from that, I agree with you. Snipe is notoriously bugged and it shows how ignorant the people are suggesting otherwise. Everyone with a bit of experience knows that health desync is a very real and exploitable issue.
Unfortunately, that issues is written down on a looooooooooooo - wait for it - ng list.

As the title say's

Now that snipe is the first bow ability I am getting snipe lagged like crazy.. One moment I am walking/running and the other moment my magicka/stamina goes to zero 2 seconds later I die. Or if Im fighting someone and out of nowhere same thing resources to 0 and health drops seconds later.. And when I look at the death recap it's snipe snipe snipe snipe and while I look at all that I heard the snipes still hitting me but Im already dead looking at the death recap.. Really annoying now..

Roll a dk. Reflect.

laksikus

i dont have the problem, and i dont know anyone ingame that has this "bugged" problem with snipe.

its not snipe that lags, its the server or you. even people with good connection can egt lag spikes, especially in cyrodiil.

your fix would be to fix the lag, which zos showed over and over again they cant do, which you should know if you are an experienced pvp player.

so your demand to "fix" a skill that kills cos of server/your lag is like crying for a nerf, cos the named skill isnt the problem.

Thats like saying "fix nb" cos they snipe you from stealth and kill you with server lag, totally the nbs fault

I wouldnt go as far as saying exploitable if people are playing the game as intended.
