Not true, Bow/Bow builds using Snipe are still extremely strong, stronger then most Magicka builds. What you said regarding nobody using it PvE is 100% false.

Yeah, few people still using the skill in PvE it was just figuratively spoken by me that nobody uses it. And If you think that Bow/Bow builds are stronger than magicka builds in PvP, I would argue. Iam dueling a lot so I know what Iam talking about

Was strictly talking PvE.

Just want to reiterate how great of a change this was. Sitting in the back of a zerg spamming snipe then cloaking is a playstyle that shouldn’t even exist in the game. Any and all nerfs to the ability are much appreciated!

Note that stamblades are getting nerfed aswell so the playstyle you dislike will be rarer to see after the update. The problem is that no other class will use the ability in the whole game content (pvp and pve) after the nerfs. As I said, I played with Lethal arrow ability on stamsorc (live server) and Its not overpowered, really (cp810, gold weapons, well built build).

I think that the nature of this ability should stay as I wrote in the previous comment, major defile is important in pvp. We dont want to see more guys in Heavy armor using reverberating bash as only source of major defile.
The pvp needs more action, no more heavy armor self healing guys fighting each other resulting in 1 hour boring duel. (I played this way than switched to the medium armor and I can tell you the difference of joy which it provides for me)

Not true, Bow/Bow builds using Snipe are still extremely strong, stronger then most Magicka builds. What you said regarding nobody using it PvE is 100% false.

This is just false.

Stonger than most mag GTFO, Bow/Bow and a broken Synergy doing upwards of 20k dps on its own got people losing their minds. The Synergy got nerfed and is about as good for mag as stam now. You can go back to your Mag builds and quit your hyperbolic insanity.

God forbid Bow is actually desirable as a main bar weapon on one DLC for one whole trial.

You genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about.

Why don’t you actually do some testing, or atleast some research, before you attempt to refute someone’s claim. Refuting with absolutely zero background knowledge only makes the refuting party look stupid.

Furthermore, the fact you think the spider synergy got nerfed, makes your entire comment even more laughable.

I had not seen that StamNecro parse by NOS, and haven't seen any other parses similar. That is using Lokkestiiz though which is better than AY, magicka has no comparable counter part.

Undaunted
-Spawn Broodlings:
-The Spiders spawned from this synergy and the morphed synergies now properly scale dynamically with your offensive stats, rather than only Weapon Damage.
-The spiders will now attack once every 2 seconds, rather than every 1.5 seconds.
-Increased their damage per bite by 15% to adhere it to our DoT standards.
Black Widow Poison:
-Reduced the damage of this ability by approximately 58%.
-Fixed an issue where the spiders took twice as long to attack after using this ability.
-The Black Widows will now only attempt to apply this ability once per summon.
-Fixed an issue where multiple players could not have this ability active on the same target.

I think 58% reduction the damage is a nerf for most players.

This thread is just filled with people only playing PVP & judging the skill without actually considering PVE or it's statistics.

You'd be suprised how well Bow/bow works PVE. Been doing it since release and with Wrathstone it finally got a proper spot for Vet Trials (I never utilise Shadow Silk Syngergy so don't start with that).

Pushing 47k self-buffed on a dummy.

This change will gimp PVE bow builds by a large margin, not to even mention the combination of the Nightblade rework (Grim Focus especially).

The suggestion to change Snipe into the bow line spammable with no cast time and a lower damage and have the functionality of current Snipe provided by the ultimate would have been worth a try. It would have fixed so many issues at once.

I can see this working out for both PVP and PVE.

If you read what he said, you'd know he wasn't talking about PVP. PVE-wise, bow builds are currently on par with Magicka DPS

Templar Dark Flare same cast reduction, 37% damage reduction. Please keep quiet about your Health desync cheese.

Snipe is not the problem. Getting hit by 4 different snipes from the same person due to lag is the problem.

@mcagatayg I edited your comment because it was all important.
