The most annoying skill ever.

I think this happens with all kinds of skills but it's more noticeable with snipe since usually you arent actively engaged.1 -

I cant think of another skill that does this, I sometimes get sniped 2-4 times without even seeing the animation and I already have debuffs in my bar so dont notice the lethal arrow. One time I actually died outside an outpost, respawned inside the same outpost and continued to receive the snipe stream inside and died again from the same stream of Snipes. No skill is ever doing that other than snipe.0 -

Yeah your right... let's decrease its damage, that should fix it.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Snipe, lethal arrow, focused aim. Easilly the worst way to die and the most annoying skill in the game. It hits as hard as wrecking blow, lethal arrow has a better debuff and can be used without even setting foot in to harms way. Its the ultimate way to third party any sort of 1v1 fight and rewards those who spam it at someone not directly fighting you. Bow could really use either a source of major fracture or or a source of major brutality, I personally (and I think nearly everyone who isn’t a snipe stacker using a bow) would love nothing more than to see the current snipe gone and the skill repurposed in to something that works best not continually spammed but used in a combination.

@Icky One thing snipe haters dont know is that snipe itself has an arch, cast time and slow travel speed compared to other cast time ability such as frags and dswing.. Hence the damage, snipe is working as intended per developers discretion.. Snipe spammers in the middle of zergs hit like wet speghetti noodles because they dont have the builds for this ability and are no different than mag sorcs hard casting frags or crystal blast... Legitimate snipers are built for sniping and nothing else- limited resources, limited mobility, contends with lag effecting how snipe works/misses too often, this form of gameplay is far exceeded by melee range gameplay. Snipe did receive a 25% nerf even though it did get an 8% buff months ago.
The OP illustrated a coded message for- i hate snipers or range casters because they dont play the way i want them to play, this mentallity is ego stricken ridicule towards other players.

Your resources aren’t limited when you dodge roll, get major expedition and use cloak to hide, then sit in stealth until you want to reset the fight or not at all and run away hassle free. The main problem is most snipe stackers aren’t even skillful enough to snipe solo, they rely on sniping players that are in an equal numbered or outnumbered situation, making the 3 lethal arrows That hit undetected for 5k+ each combined with defile by far the most annoying thing in the game.0 -

Youre conversing with some one who is known on xbox NA as a hard hitting snipe blade.And i can tell you with full confidence with 4 years of sniping experience that those snipe blades you mentioned are not built for sniping, instead those "sniper groups" spam poison inject and draining shot more than they do snipe and their snipes are noodles and have the resources to hide and keep spamming their abilities and run from their target/s.
I have the proper build for sniping and tend to by my self most of the time, i have little magic to cloak, my stam recovery is awful, i have limited stam to run- i use light attacks and silver bots more than i do snipe by that time my stam is almost depleted and i try to put put my self in a good position if i need to run and try to put the sun to my back. This kind of snipe/playstyle is rare!
A group of snipers is no different than a group of pet sorcs with their petting zoo, no different than a group of DKs running around trees playing leap frog leaping on chasers etc etc... Complaining about playstyles is ridiculous.4 -

In order to have high snipe damage you have to sacrifice defense and sustain. It's basically a 100% F.U. set up. There are numerous counters active and passive. They already nerfed the damage and removed major defile from lethal arrow. Was you trying to 1vX and got sniped by the guy with an all offensive build set up?2 -
mikey_reach✭✭✭Just hundings rage alone give my snipes a tooltip of 14k. And snipe is not as slow as people say. Yes the first cast is fairly slow but in sucession snipe does go a little faster than people like to admit, same concept goes for crystal blast. First cast is fairly slow but in sucession it goes a little faster. If that is what you are facing then fine but when you are in the middle of a battle and multiple things are going on dying to a snipe spammer is not always a L2p issue.1

Good example if you like to compare apples to oranges. If you tried to gank a guy and his buddy healed him well you chose that engagement and that would be a controlled variable. My example pretty much saying that you could be fighthing someone or 1vxing and suddenly you drop dead and you dont know how until you look at the recap and realized that is was a stealthed snipe spammer that pretty much desync your health, that is an uncontrolled variable the opposite of what you explained. But hey at least you were constructive and did elaborate that people can make the mistake of ganking someone with a buddy around that can potentially heal/off heal him essentially explaining what an L2p is.Edited by mikey_reach on February 4, 2020 1:12AM1 -

Is that meant to be a joke?0 -
KillsAllElves✭✭✭✭✭There is no 2 ways about it, its like every 0 skill snipe bot thinks they have gotten good enough to make a 1vX build, fail and get clapped then get back on their snipe blade to interupt small scale players that are outnumbered, I don’t think Ive seen a Clip from a player that is considered skilful with snipe on their bar
Player skill is near irrelevant in eso pvp due to the fact there are too many variables to consider. Litterally every player is crutching on sets/CP/allies/buffs/debuffs/abilities etc etc. Bad players will always remain bad unless they learn to utilize character builds and strategic gameplay thus the crutch comes into play tossing skill out the window because of the reliance on said items and events. No player is set on equal ground this imbalance creates the need for crutching.
insulting playstyle is subjective.
To The video clip- the player is aready dead the reaction time on the server was disproportionate To real time game play.
When youre dead you can not react and the sniper sees the scenario differently on his end.
This health desync issue will never go away and is not a snipe only problem.Edited by KillsAllElves on February 6, 2020 12:22PM0 -

It's like when I'm trying to gank a guy and his buddy heals him, that's not fair. Things like that going and on, on the battlefield?
Good example if you like to compare apples to oranges. If you tried to gank a guy and his buddy healed him well you chose that engagement and that would be a controlled variable. My example pretty much saying that you could be fighthing someone or 1vxing and suddenly you drop dead and you dont know how until you look at the recap and realized that is was a stealthed snipe spammer that pretty much desync your health, that is an uncontrolled variable the opposite of what you explained. But hey at least you were constructive and did elaborate that people can make the mistake of ganking someone with a buddy around that can potentially heal/off heal him essentially explaining what an L2p is.
Ok so you also dont get to choose you who 1vX against. Or do you? You can decide to roll in a group or avoid groups of players because you never know how many invisible players are around. Not their fault you failed at Xing because someone was running a high damage 100% F U build. That's very much a L2p issue right there. It's like people hating on trees for breaking los.0
