    They have said that they're fixing the lethal arrow debuff stacking bug in an upcoming incremental patch. (soon)

    if that's not good enough for you, bye.

    That would be ok if it wasn't just pew pew pew pew pew ( I could probably repeat the 'pew' a few more times for true effect).

    I envy your stamina if you can dodge that many :smile:

    Anyone who currently 'almost never dies to bows' either almost never plays PvP or spends his time in PvP spamming Lethal Arrows from a safe distance.

    Every single person you speak to in PvP will tell you the same story of basically every single death recap being filled with Bow skills.

    I know you want it very badly to be a form of 'rage', but it's more a form of dissapointment. If it was rage, I wouldn't be either in-game or here. :)

    Dying to 5 Unstable Walls of Whatever only happens inside the cozy confines of the Zerg. As so it happens, the cozy confines of the Zerg is just about the only place where you are safe from the currently supercharged Bow skills.

    I guess I don't envy you. :wink:

    When I die to wall of ele I can blame our purger. When I die to bows, there's no one to shift the blame to and I have to own up to it. Not cool bro. :\

    I dont mind getting hit by bows cuz then i know i shouldve payed more attention to my sorroundings, instead of just watching out for aoers. While i do agree lethal is powerful i also question every other popular gameplay mechanic. The bow has its role now with a unique element to cyro combat. So far i havent had issues taking down such archers 1v1

    The only fix that needs to happen is the debuff stack. Thats it, and they "should" put it in today or next week, if they keep to their normal reaction times on these things once they acknowledge them.

    Wait for the healing debuff stack patch, but i doubt youll feel any better because guess what will happen when they cant stack disease anymore with snipe? Players will just use an enchant that will do more damage with snipe. Youll be back here in no time complaining again until the skill is as basic and watered down as a heavy attack.

    I even prefer Bats, Soul Assault and Impulse on my death recap, over stacked Walls or stacked Snipe Monkeys.

    Than the joy when you have non-broken skills on your death recap. Healthy mix of mele and ranged. Curses, whips, wrecking blows, ultis, spears and so on. When that happens, for a brief moment, I feel hope. Maybe they sort out PvP eventually :tired_face:

    they should fix the heal de-buff, but thats it. other than that, lethal arrow is fine as it is.

    They will nerf it eventually because of the learning curve.

    I heard this one guy complaining on teamspeak for hours about being sniped over and over and saying he had full impenetrable and he was still dying....at some point i ended up standing next to him in cyrodiil when we were both snipe spammed from a keep wall. I did 2 dodge rolls and a damage shield while running away and noticed my battle buddy was just standing there like a deer in head lights. For him (as he explained in ts), the whole incident happened in 2 seconds which he considered instant death via snipe.

    Yeah its just the debuff. Surviving lethal arrow gank spam with a sliver of health only to not be able to heal yourself is stupid. But I guess thats one of the reasons people use it. Exploit the exploitable at all costs.

    I like how you have to put "joking" in the end. He does erect the spine of "was this a joke, cause it wasn't funny at all" a bit too often ^_^

    I seriouisly doubt anyone got snipe because it gave 100% healing debuff. Its just something that happened "to be" along the way. The main reason people got snipe is because they recently improved it....and its a kick azz skill.

    hence almost. Lol. When I do die to to bows it's usually due to lag and I cant move away or roll dodge in time.

    Yes this. However, if they put in a short dead zone, that would be fine too. I don't use snipe up close, there are far better skills to use up close.

    people try to spam it up close now.

    if im out of stamina, it works, but if im not i just bash them. if it got a mimimum range, it would be a good thing. it would keep people from developing bad habits.

    Yeah, I switch to dual wield when up close. much more effective. And as I said, the broken healing debuff should be fixed. Zenimax, please fix this now. The alt morph sucks so fix this.

    They need to fix this. The feeling I'm getting from people in PvP is "don't attack anything, bows will kill you. Fight between keeps or farm them if they try to attack us." whole map is stactic. ZOS - any word?
