1. Heavy attacks will auto cancel. This means that if a player is trying to continuously heavy attack, they can stop for no reason with the command still held. The command has to be released before starting again.
2. Heavy attacks may not start when the command is held. The player will just stand there doing nothing.
3. The heavy attack may miss the enemy who is directly in front of the player, or do no damage on the hit, while still applying a status effect.
Here is the thread on the topic. I have submitted roughly 50 bug reports over the last 10 months and sent multiple clips of the problems occurring.

4. Dual Wield heavy attacks are bugged and deal significantly less damage than they should (less damage than a single Dual Wield light attack).
WHAT?!
That is both hilarious and sad.
Yep. Both hits of a dual wield heavy deal about 90% of a single light attack. For comparison, most heavy attacks deal about 1.3x the damage of a light attack.
Re: Writhing Wall Event which server will win.. but???
We will have more info on the Writhing Wall event next month. But to answer the main question, PC and console will start at the same time. So no two week delay between platforms.

Re: Surprise surprise, Blastbones and Animate Blastbones (ulti) are unusable in PvP now.

Tested this morning in IC, Blastbones was failing to cast over 50% of the time, and Animate Blastbones simply does nothing - consumes three corpses, but 0 blastbones are spawned. Blastbones would work the first 2 or 3 casts of the fight, then fail for the next two or 3. Rinse and repeat.
If the PTS isn't used to fix bugs like this before live, even when those bugs are reported through official channels early on in the cycle, what exactly is PTS used for? Clearly its not used to ensure a class' core ability functions.
Has there been no update on this, or did I miss it? Looks like the issue persists in live and on the current U47 PTS.
I missed the very beginning of subclasses and didn't see this issue. However, BB is currently functioning properly. In the past month, I haven't noticed this problem in the vast majority of PvP engagements on BG. However, I only have BB as my pet, and I don't have many corpses.
BB generally works if you're not around a bunch of corpses/using only it as a summon, but when you use your full Necromancer abilities as the class was designed, BB or one of your summons, or even your ultimate summons, will fail to spawn and show the error text in the top right of the screen.
It's especially annoying in PVP, and the devs said the pet limit for PVP would be 5, but that means Necromancer fundamentally cannot use Animate Blastbones with their other summons because it would be 6 summons in total. Therefore, even after the bug(s) is fixed, the PVP pet limit needs to be raised to a minimum of 6 for the Necromancer class to fully function as intended (and as was advertised to all the people who purchased it).
The limit was raised to 10 shortly after last patch dropped. The issue still seems to persist both in PvP and PvE because it seems that something with how corpses are replaced is not functioning correctly.
That was a hotfix. They made it clear they intend to make it a 5 pet limit, and gave no explanation or commentary on what this would mean for the Necromancer class, which has always been able to summon 6 pets.
Also, it has been 66 days since ZOS has told us anything about this issue, and no communication regarding it on the U47 PTS as of 11.1.4. The issue persists on both the upcoming patch U47 and live.

In order of effective synergy, a Companion can do:

2. Tank
3. Damage

I didn't know about that one! Yes, add that to the list. This basic game mechanic should be fixed. I can't understand the logic behind adding new heavy attack sets when the heavy attacks that proc the sets aren't working correctly.

Re: Should special crafting events offer double XP for crafting?
Just want to follow up here. The Golden Pursuit is not classified as an event for us. So we do not offer double exp. unless there was a very specific reason to do so. If it overlapped with an event, that would be one thing, but that is not the case with this.
Re: Is damage useless from companions?
It depends. You can gear out companions and get them to somewhere between 10k and 15k dps with the right rotation.
Is that a lot? No. But it might be, compared to the player's dps. Or rather, if the player is busy with Bosses, mechanics, etc. then it is a good option to have a modicum of damage, compared to no damage at all.
In practise, I have two companions ready to go for each role. It is easy to swap them depending on what I need. The only bother was to unlock at least three of them on all my characters.
Gearing them up is straight forward. Tanks and Healers get full on quickened. Dps gets shattered (7 pieces) until they (almost) hit the pen cap and the rest is Quickened (5 pieces).
Purple gear isn't as expensive as it was when Mirri and Bastian started with Blackwood.

Re: Looking for PvE alternatives to Puncturing Strikes/Puncturing Sweep
Fatecarver from arcanist! It’s a fairly large channeled AoE ability that doesn’t require a target BUT in the accessibility settings there’s a slider (default is max I believe) for auto targeting (beam slowly moves towards your target). If you don’t have arcanist or don’t like fatecarver, you can use pulsar (destro staff) or whirling blades (dual wield), which are AoEs centered around yourself.
