Why is no one talking about the massive buff to snipe ?

Snipe is the bane of pvp, any scrub can just ruin your day by standing 50 meters away from you and spamming you with a 10-14k hit with a defile, with the new projectile dodge it will be very hard to dodge snipes. Why is no one talking about this ?

✭✭✭I don't have issues with snipe when I can hear it before I die, it's when I hear it after I die that makes it hard to react in time. I don't think this changes anything.BawKinTackWarDs PS4/NA4 -

✭✭✭Oh no, now you have to actually dodge right before the projectile hits.
Oh no, you have to dodge actively since they're removing passive dodge chance.
Oh nooooooo......

✭✭✭✭✭It's fun using snipe in delves.
Go into sneak mode while behind your victim, then *BLAM*!!! Mob instantly at only 10% health.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Mostly because it is still very dodgeable, as long as you are paying attention.

Well it is actually 28 metres range, and if you cannot dodge it, then you are a scrub

✭Since I am a scrub and I only do PvE, how do you know a Snipe is coming if people are just hiding and ganking? It's one thing to know it's coming, but if you don't know it's coming then what?Not my quote but I love this saying

JimmyJuJu✭✭✭✭There's a bit of a mix-up here I think. Focused Aim (35m+5m) + Rank 2 of the Alliance Assault Passive "Reach" (5m) will get you to 45m. However, Snipe & Lethal Arrow gets you to 40m with the Reach passive.
Still, that's quite some distance to cover to evade the distance so either dodge or purge & heal (repeatedly).Edited by JimmyJuJu on September 19, 2018 11:05PM2 -

Range is 35 meter, now add the pvp bonuses but they are the same for all, still snipe is nice during sieges as you can out-range other casts and many don't think about this.anatole1234 wrote: »Snipe is the bane of pvp, any scrub can just ruin your day by standing 50 meters away from you and spamming you with a 10-14k hit with a defile, with the new projectile dodge it will be very hard to dodge snipes.

kinda fixed it for you OP
btw to get hit by 10-14 k there must be 2 conditions
- you wear something like full light divines
- you are hit by fully snipe-dedicated perfectly geared player (with asylum combo it can be way more damage but it won't work at max range)

You can get it to at least 43m because that's what I have in a stamblade woodelf. I suck at PvP, big time, but sniping at this range is just too much fun for PvP noobs like myself. I guess it means it may be a bit op in the range subject. Still easy to dodge but when it lands, it lands hard.Edited by ZonasArch on September 20, 2018 3:28AM1 -

You don't. You hear the 5 snipe audio queues from someone who didn't even LA weave while looking at your death recap from falling over instantly dead.
But in theory, you are supposed to hear it coming.8 -

That's not my video.
I'm sure you know that in real combat people fight back and don't just dodge endlessly, meaning that Snipe character would also be expending defensive energy?0 -

You are exactly right.

✭People who say you're a "scrub" for being hit by snipers either 1 is a sniper or 2 is a zergling so all they know is to spam one ability, or 3 you don't really pvp or aren't really good. There's no way you can't tell me you have never been desync by a sniper. These forums can be just as toxic as the in game community.1 -
Jameliel✭✭✭✭✭
✭As a part time sniper, the only people quickly killed by snipe are those with lower health, not paying attention/afk, or other glass cannons. Inexperienced players are easier to take down, but if the other player is experienced, you can usually expect a fight after the opening snipes.1 -
