I just got hit with focused aim and it drained all my resources, I looked up the skill and saw no mention of it doing that so can someone tell me why or how that happened?
Lag / health bar desync
Your magicka / stamina got set to zero because focused aim did more damage than your actual hp, even though your hp bar displayed a different number.
Getting hit by multiple snipes leading to instant death is due to lag. It happend to me quite often in the past. Beware of people using this skill from a distance, watch the surroundings for bow spammers.
I like to use a bow myself and am amazed about the ridiculous lag sometimes allowing me to kill a players without him/her being able to respond. Kill and get killed in Cyrodiil is often a matter of change.
Well this could be either because of lag / desynch or simply caused by the new poisons. Some of them can drain magicka and stam, maybe it procced with the attack?
Usually the guys who can 1-2 shot kill you with snipe are the glass cannons, once happened to me, I died, second time he ambushed me I was ready went up in his face and smashed him in like 10 seconds, he had low stamina and was a stamina Nb. Prolly all his points/armor into weapon damage/crits.
