Since, the Sniper kit is the only Specialized PvP kit that has no cooldown, unlike other fellow kits like Wizard, Poseidon, Assassin, etc. The Sniper kit is might be overpowered as they tend to spam arrows to their opponents. Well, to make this fair, adding a cooldown for bow and arrow just as short as 3 seconds (Wizard kits can only throw their potions every 3 seconds) to 5 seconds. I suggest that, 3 seconds cooldown for crossbow and arrow, while 5 seconds for bow and arrow, or they might be the same (3 seconds for both crossbow and bow) or even 5 seconds.

Why adding cooldown?
Adding a cooldown to the Sniper kit's bow and arrow attacks in CubeCraft's Battle Arena FFA is a complex issue with arguments for and against. Implementing a 3-5 second cooldown for the Sniper kit's bow and arrow attacks in CubeCraft's Battle Arena FFA can have significant gameplay implications.

Pros:
- Balancing Specialized Kits: Most Specialized PvP kits have cooldowns, which helps balance their unique abilities. A cooldown for the Sniper's bow would create a more even playing field and prevent it from being overpowered.
- Preventing Bow Spam: Currently, the Sniper can spam arrows without any penalty, potentially overwhelming opponents. A cooldown would encourage more strategic and deliberate aiming, rewarding skilled players.
- Enhancing Gameplay Variety: A cooldown would encourage players to use the Sniper's kit more strategically, potentially leading to more diverse and engaging gameplay. It could encourage players to utilize different tactics and strategies.

Cons:
- Maintaining Sniper's Identity: The Sniper's core strength is its long-range capability, allowing for precise shots. A cooldown could significantly hinder this aspect and make the kit less effective.
- Complexity and Frustration: Adding a cooldown could make the Sniper more complex and frustrating to play. Players might find it difficult to adjust to the new mechanic, especially those who enjoy the kit's current playstyle.
- Potential for Imbalance: A poorly implemented cooldown could negatively impact the Sniper's effectiveness, potentially making it too weak compared to other Specialized PvP kits.

Alternative Solution:

- Arrow Refund on Hit: Similar to the Assassin kit, the Sniper could regain an arrow for each successful hit. This would encourage accurate aiming and prevent excessive arrow usage.

Conclusion:
Adding a cooldown to the Sniper kit's bow and arrow attacks is a valid consideration for balancing the Specialized PvP kits in CubeCraft's Battle Arena FFA. However, it requires careful consideration to ensure that the cooldown is implemented in a way that maintains the Sniper's identity and doesn't create unintended imbalances.

If adding cooldown for Sniper Kits is not suitable, Cubecraft may adapt some new solutions like infinite arrow yet they will only charge 3-5 seconds after the shot. (3 seconds if you hit the player, 5 seconds if you miss it).

Thanks for your understanding!

I dont agree with this. Sniper kit is a good kit but it's very easy to counter it. For example just throw a poison pot at him and you have a big advantage already. There are only a few players who can really dominate with the kit it's not a big deal imo.
