8k one shot, how do I avoid this?

Okay not coming here looking for a nerf, just trying to figure out if this is as intended and maybe there is a way I can avoid this or not.

I was riding my horse to Ash, which was under siege, and got sniped... for 8.4k. Obviously, blocking wasn't a possibility since I was on my horse, but I'm not sure blocking would have mitigated this. I am running 6 pieces of impenetrable, too.

Is there anyway to avoid this. It seems like I shouldn't be getting one shotted like that.

    any one shot in any circumstances needs fixed imo. thats not pvp , thats just golden gun mode , it just shouldn't happen ever.

    actually I am running 5 pieces of impenetrable. I need to correct that. I've had snipes hit for 2k and that seemed reasonable, but 8k...

    It's a glitch that scales over time. Some people exploit it. Even when it's not doing that, some players have made NB bow builds that can do almost 3k damage in a split second, which actually is stupid balancing.

    It is some kind of bug, With the best possible damage build and the target fully debuffed the damage should never go over 2200. In most cases a Sneak attack snipe will do 1200-1800.
    The only exception is Lethal arrow on a Werewolf where you can add 50% more damage to what i said above

    It's Snipe and its morphs. That's what I'm hitting for, 8-10k. I dont know what causes it, or how to replicate it... but I also dont know how to fix it.

    I can beat that. 112,000 in a single hit. It was in Spindleclutch (IIRC). Gargoyle bangs on the floor and causes a cave in. I think my big toe was in the red. CRUNCH. I screencapped it. I'll post it when I'm home from work.

    I don't think the bow would have done much good :P

    No one cares what damage npcs do to you at any given time. Attacks like that are meant to be one shots.

    It's entirely unrelated.

    I'm serious. I'm fairly sure if you are getting smashed for 11k in pve, it's intentional.

    Unless it was during the accidental vet upgrade. Maybe then you'd have a point.
