Most of you likely already know how broken snipe in PvP is but yesterdays encounter with a sniper was the most outlandish thing that happend to me in PvP. Here is a short video of it:
As you can see, my character just stops dead in her tracks as soon as the enemy fired that snipe. It took a full 2 seconds until the first arrow hit. In these 2 seconds I couldn't do anything. No break free (even when the game claims otherwise), no skills, no dodge. Nothing. Only after the first (and second arrow at the same time) hit I was able to break free. Didn't get me anywhere as two other snipes where already hitting me before breaking free was finished.
I stood there longer "stunned" by the sneak-attack than it took 4! snipes to hit me. Considering that the skill has a cast time of 1 second that should just be impossible.
If you look closely you see the dmg-numbers popping up next to my character and there are always 2 snipes hitting at the same time. Confirmed by the death recap: there where no light attacks or anything else. Only snipe. 2 per visual representation of the arrow.
Just wanted to bring this to attention as it really boogles me that something like this is possible and there is nothing beeing done about for ever now.
To be clear: I don't want to shame any snipers with this. It's not their fault the game is broken.
EDIT: I know that this is nothing new. I know that it's probably a desync issue. But ZOS never said anything addressing this topic. So letting it die because: "this is nothing new" is not the way to go.

no, it is a problem with both snipe and desync. You can literal do this on other classes and be as successful as night blades, only thing that makes nightblade shine is shadowy disguise.

No you cant, anything will kill a noob obv. but no one else gets crazy crit damage and bonuses to damage for being stealth like NB does. They are Bow Nukes. This never changed, what has changed is now noone else can really use bows effectively if they aren't a NB cuz of all the nerfs. The problem was never with the ability it was always that class.
I remember a time where you could hit 26-28k hits with snipe on crits and it was fine And this was on a Imperial DK, (A Less than ideal race and class for bow builds.) But those glory days are long dead, and i dont use snipe anymore or even a bow cuz its worthless now. Snipes damage has been so nerfed you're lucky to hit 15ks so the glory days are long gone, but here you people are still bitching about it even after the bow skills Extinction level nerfs, its comical to me.
Dont get me started on the nerfs to dots, Major and minor defile, dual wield, or enchants either.
Then again everything stam pvp related is nerfed into the ground, meanwhile Mag players are still the unstoppable no skill pvp kings, just spamming and hitting 7k light attacks from 30m. Just Left click to victory! its all you gotta do! No worrying about footwork/closing the distance/ blocking or dodging/applying dots from close range, Nope none of that zero skill required just us a cookie cutter build and just light attack at range to win any fight against non-coward-blade stam classes.
While were on NBs though, Stealth needs to be fixed. If you already have a bleed or poison applied to you, ya need to keep taking that damage even in stealth. Coward blades 'Get out of jail free card' needs to be addressed. And stam needs a 20 Meter AOE Detection ability. We only have ONE stam detection ability from hunters guild i think it is and its worthless, its so worthless i dont even remember where it is cuz it only detects things within 4m of you.. completely pointless...
so yeah while im here pointing out legitimate problems and raising grievances, you guys are here crying about something that has already been nerfed into extinction. Get off my damn game, and give me 2016 pvp/combat back!

for that cloak part, deal if we wont get revealed by aoes only potions and skills.
it is not just snipe.
this happens to all of us from ALL of the skills in eso, it is not just snipe.

Snipe seems to have the biggest potential for abuse, that is the problem. If I am just fall over dead out of nowhere, one of three things happened (99% of the time). 1. A really well executed gank combo. Bravo. 2. Big battle at a keep, and you get a crap load of seige damage all hit at once (usually lag is a culprit here as well). 3. I take 3 snipes at the exact same time from the same player, which of course, shouldnt be possible, but we all know it happens.
I don't know what the solution is, but the skill needs looked at. There might be nothing wrong with it in an ideal environment, but Cyro is far from ideal.
the same exact thing happens to all of us from all the other skills not just snipe.
it's from lagg, high ping, and disync, and bad servers.
and from too many people in one area.
right now snipe is extremely slow to cast and its damage is very low. it needs to be buffed.
