Snipe Bug still present in PVP.

MindOfTheSwarm

The bug which allows Snipe to hit multiple times from a single cast is still being exploited in PvP enabling players to get 30 plus kills in BG without breaking a sweat.
This was supposed to be fixed but it is still being exploited. This is not a latency issue as it can’t be every player in the instance experiencing this by coincidence and everyone can see it happen.

I used snipe for the first four days in Imperial City and it always performed as it should, just sounds like an exploit and ESO/ZOS will not do nothing.

This bug is still around?! There used to be a player in Blackwater Blade pvp server that made a living out of exploiting this bug, something like 7 years ago.

I sure hope he or she claimed that on their taxes. Would hate to get in trouble with the IRS for failing to disclose snipes.

Yes, it is virulent in bg at the moment. Every other NB is using it to nuke players from afar. I don’t know if it is executed the same way but for those that don’t know:

You position yourself at maximum range then during snipe animation you step out of range and keep mashing the snipe skill, but get back into range before the animation finishes.

It basically queues the number of presses you managed to fit into the time spent out of range however, you can make it really silly by using a turbo controller.

Now I am not certain that this method still works, but if it does not then players have figured another way to exploit it.
