Do you respect bow users? (PvP)

✭✭✭✭✭YesFor using a bow, yes. But for standing on a keep wall sniping ppl as much as you can and as soon as keep is UA or at the very least breached...they vanish...probably gone to another keep awaiting ppl to snipe at from within... No I do not like or respect that way of playing.

✭Yesany player that can put a build together that utilises a weapon and a minimum of button presses and can down the majority of targets while hardly ever dying is clearly a well thought out, skilful and winning combination.

Many a time my character dropped dead out of the blue only to see snipe spam killed them. This is infuriating to be on the receiving side. However snipe is a good skill and it's the games fault that it can't properly process the skill in pvp.
Another issue is it's so easy to LoS snipe whereas magicka ranged abilities are mostly instant and those just follow you around corners much easier. With snipe there's a 1 second window to easily LoS it. And very frequently I complete a full casted Snipe and yet it doesn't follow my target around the corner unfortunately..
You misunderstand, when you get desynced by snipe, there is no reaction time allotted, you simply fall down dead. Only after your death screen appears will you even know you were under attack by snipe. There is no LoS for attacks you can't see until after you already died.1 -

The desync is often more than 1 second. It frequently happens, that you get insta-killed and your death cap shows 5 times snipe by the same person.1 -

Desyncs are there for all skills. Not only snipe. I oftenly die from people hitting me with 3 skills and LA between and only noticed the first hit and my health drop from 100%-0%.
Most experienced players I ve fought against, after getting sniped once they roll-dodge and is impossible to hit them a second time at the specific time period. Also, I have a bowblade build I use for 1 year and still dont know how to use the desync you mention. It's random like in all skills.1 -

Snipe desync seems to be more delayed, than other skills. It happens often to me, that I'm duelling someone in Cyrodiil and I'm suddenly insta killed. Death cap only shows snipe, not a single attack of the person I was duelling with.0 -
