Lethal Arrow

d10is13

In my opinion, this is the most overpowered skill in the entire game for pvp, by a long shot. You can literally stand still, miles away, at your spawn point, or in the safety of a castle, and just spam this skill over and over, and not use any other skill, and kill everyone. I get hit anywhere from 3k-11k from lethal arrows, with heavy armor and major defense buffs on.

My suggestion is to make this a ground targeted ability, so it's actually possible to dodge it. Right now the ONLY counter for this is to LOS, but there are too many places in BGs and cyrodil that are wide open without this option.

No, no accept this skill as your overlord.

Why use other skills when you can use 1 skill from the other end of the map.

You mean noCP BG and medium armor build (tho in impreg) hit by @DDuke in glass cannon gear using asylum bow operating from like 15m range?

It's not only the skill, it's the unpredictability and the lack of time to react to it. You hear it when the first hits you and then the second one is arriving at the same time, it's really buggy and there is no warning

This skill very often kills my mood in BGs. As soon as I see one nightblade with sloads+skoria and spamming lethal arrow, I'm not enjoying it anymore...

You don't even hear it half the time.

You drop from full hp to 0 and have 4 of them on your death recap.

a friend of mine got hit by an 14k snipe. (heavy armor stamsorc). Asylum bow is pretty ridicilous and underrated, combined with the survivability+elusiveness of stamblades ,it really is a cancerous ability, due to the high unpredictability and the nature of chaotic ESO PvP.

But what makes me the most sad is the fact that I need to slot this ability If I want reliable defile on my 2h/bow builds. Such a potent debuff like defile shouldn't be put into a spammable like this.

I use it myself sometimes, other times I am target of it and while yes, if it kills me it can be really rage inducing but if it doesnt kill me its usually over for the user. Someone with half the damage but 100 times the survivability feels more threatening or same dmg and 100 times survivability (ehm ehm rune cage or overload gankers). I dont find it any more cancerous than every other form of lethal burst, I just think contrary to all the other forms nobody has any experience with this one and thats why they complain more. For every asylum bow ganker there are 99 meta gankers. And nearly everybody at some point of the game played some form of meta ganker, but nearly nobody tried snipe ganking

Funnily enough with rune cage the issue is not predictability but lack of counterplay options, and overload gankers are the least of my worries personally since wings/shimmering shield counters them.(unlike bow gankers, they can't just cloak out of reflecting projectiles, and they have to use invis potions for the same ganking potential, they can't just cloak away to get rid of aggro, overload gankers have some downsides to their playstyle.) But eating an 11 or 14k snipe as a heavy armor user and getting defiled for the next 10 seconds is a pretty bad situation to be in. An average PvP build will have about 25k hp, thats one arrow putting you into execute territory. Imagine the effect on a more squishy build.

Edit: I do realize most sniper builds are pretty much glass cannon. But I still don't think snipe is a healthy ability for PvP.

Bgs this skill is annoying. Its extremely buggy. Not a huge deal in open world.

So getting hit by 3 arrows before you hear or see one is “ not a huge deal”?

Focused aim can be shot from much farther away.
