Lethal Arrow, no-cooldown, close range multicast

"Lethal Arrow, 1.1 sec cast ability" ...you walk around happy as always, enemy show up like 2meters near you, then you suddenly die in 1 second, you hear just mesh of multiple Lethal Arrow sounds. Then you look at death recap, 4x lethal arrow (one player).
So, how you do that? Share some guide, so we all can be cancerous idiots, thx.

✭✭✭✭✭This skill has always been buggy like that. Sometime you can react to it, others you can't hear it at all and take 20k+ dmg from 2-3 hits without realising.
Skill should of been removed a long time ago or atleast got a cast time increase and the defile removed.PS4 EU DC
Current CP : 756+
I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.
RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...4 -

They have but I think if we the players had control it would have be buried ages ago0 -
thegreat_one✭✭✭✭Seems like you can't hear the shots until the first one hits you. then you realize you've been hit with 3 or 4.0

Jimmy_The_Fixer✭✭✭✭✭Don't trust the death recap, it doesn't show the 5 most recent sources of damage, it shows major sources of damage taken recently and tends to prioritize heavy hitting abilities. It could be counting a lethal arrow from 20 seconds ago.0

Yeah, but i meant it like in sudden gank situations, not in long fight. You know, like you go 5min without fight, i hope then is death recap clear of RNG choice of damage.0 -

I always find these comments odd. Esp when a tick for like 600 dmg killed you and it shows on the recap.
I'm on Xbox and I've never seen abilities"prioritized" like so many people say2 -

They aren't. He's talking out of his ass. Death recaps are always the last skills that hit you.
This glitch really does need to go. Just give snipe a 6 second cooldown, while lowering the initial cast time. Problem solved.0 -

It always shows the killing blow, no matter what, that's one of the few things I'm sure about. I'm not sure anybody is 100% certain on what abilities are selected for the recap, but it absolutely can't be the 5 most recent sources of damage because it will frequently show 3 sloads procs on the recap from a 1v1 even though the other person obviously casted more than 3 spells over the course of the last 18 seconds.1 -

It's not really a viable PVE skill in the first place though, either morph. It never has been. Stam dps rarely have room to slot a weapons skill line spammable; and last time I check, none of the classes use snipe for their pve rotations.0 -

I'm not sure anybody is 100% certain on what abilities are selected for the recap, but it absolutely can't be the 5 most recent sources of damage because it will frequently show 3 sloads procs on the recap from a 1v1 even though the other person obviously casted more than 3 spells over the course of the last 18 seconds.
Sload is the exception though, not the rule. The point is that this lethal arrow glitch where 2-4 will hit simultaneously is not new. It's been around since I first started PVPing and just happened to me this morning twice. The bow skill line is broken for PVP and needs extensive maintenance. The draining shot infinite CC bug is already a pain, but the snipe spam sudden death is gamebreaking.0 -

I've always thought it shows you the last damage to health.
So an ability damaging a shield wouldn't count.
I also believe the last tick off a dot that has damaged health will be the determination for that Dot's location on the list.
So if I have sload and this is what happens
LA
Sload proc
Frag
Sload tick 1
LA
Curse cast
Sload Tick 2
LA
Wrath
Sload 3
LA
Frag
Sload 4
Curse Det + Wrath Proc = dead (hypothetically)
Recap will place the total damage done from Sload after Frag
Frag
Sload
Curse
Wrath
With multiple players it makes a lot of sense that sload's ticks are always some of the last items on recaps.
Especially if someone is using healing ward etc

From 20k health to dead in a second, only reason i screenshotted it is because i died so fast so was curious.

Yes, definatly 2 players , wasn't trying to imply they were cheating - but the death was almost instant.
Lethal arrow hits harder and faster , and the forum is full of Sloads and Rune Cage being OP ?!Edited by molecule on July 1, 2018 1:54AM1 -

There is no snipe exploit, until you or someone else proves otherwise we have to assume that these are cases of lag spike. Or of someone just not paying attention for 3.3 seconds (also likely).
Lag spikes and innattentive players are things we know exist, this mythical "snipe exploit" is not something we have evidence for.
I'm not saying that it's impossible that people are exploiting, there just needs to be some more substantial evidence than what people have posted so far.1 -

✭✭Wear reflect or hold block. Snipers tend to run after the first shot fails or gets reflected. If not, gap close -> interrupt. Block is your greatest defense though against any gank. Literally no one with a brain would attack someone holding block.0 -

Lol what? You cannot counter this when it comes from stealth unless you accidentally reflect them while engaged in combat against anyone else and the sniper is in gap close range and are too braindead to press Cloak again and die to their own projectiles or so. And no, no one is gonna move to another keep/resource/outpost or place of action while holding block all the way. Lol.Imperials, the one and true masters of all mortal races of Tamriel0 -

I'm talking about defensive stance. If a player is wearing a shield and has that skill and can't be bothered to wear it 100% of the time, then they have bigger problems than getting sniped to death. If a player is a magicka char and can't be bothered to wear an HoT 100% of the time, they have bigger problems than snipe. If there is more than one person attacking a player with ranged skills and they aren't rolling, they have bigger problems than snipe.
As for the enemy pressing cloak again, guess what? The player just survived the gank and now know they are there. If the player can't regain control after that, chances are they wouldn't have won either way. If a player seriously relies on reflected damage to win, lmfao. Again, bigger problems than snipe.0 -
