Outside of health de-syncs, is Snipe-ganking really an issue?

    No, Snipe ganking is only an issue if there is a de-sync.
    The desync, any desync needs to be fixed.

    That said, snipe is only a problem to people that think everyone should only play heavy armor brawlers in melee range.

    Ranged combat is a valid playstyle in this game. Ranged weapons exist, stealth exists and are valid playstyles in this game despite your opinion.

    If you have such a problem with ranged bow attacks, then you also have a problem withe destro staves every single ranged skill regardless of stam or mag.

    So if you're going to advocate for even more nerfing or removal of ranged bow skills then I say let's remove destro staff skills, and every skill that is longer than melee range such as frags, radiant destruction, spear, every last one. Just delete all classes that use ranged, weapons, light armor, probably medium armor and we can all be heavy armor 2H DK, warden and necro brawlers

    No.
    I’m fine with Snipe as a skill, and like to play Bow builds sometimes. But there is an issue with this skill and the server.

    Read what I wrote. The first thing I said is that the desync needs to be fixed.
    It's people that outright want to delete the playstyle because they don't like it that I have a problem with

    It’s really not a big deal. The biggest issue with “play as you want” in PVP is that most people don’t take the time, or have the experience necessary, to deal with many different types of players.

    My main is squishy as hell. If you catch me on my horse, well at least I have rapid maneuvers to keep it to just one shot, not the truly fatal 2 shot.

    If you catch me when I’m in a fight with someone else, I have a shield on each bar to keep it to just one shot, not the truly fatal 2 shot.

    If you catch me when I’m low on magic, I keep invisibility pots slotted to keep it to just one shot, not the truly fatal 2 shot.

    I could go on and on but I think you get the point. Unless you’re in a non-maxed toon or willfully ignoring any of the 1000 different soft counters for snipe to “play as you want” then there is no reason to be one shot by anyone. If you allow yourself to be 2 shot then you didn’t take into account how to play defense correctly after simply slotting more armor.

    De-syncs stink but aside from that, nothing to see here. It’s mostly just L2P.

    I read it. But you also went on to say Snipe is only a problem for heavy armor Brawlers and if you want Snipe nerfed may as well delete all ranged. Thats what i was mostly replying to ;)

    Snipe doesn’t need a Nerf
    It’s needed a Fix for Years
    If they can’t fix it...than delete it
    And create a New similar Skill n Replace it

    Side note: this should of been higher priority than the DK pooslinger Skill
