Mass Hysteria

So far since the update rolled out, my Mass Hysteria skill has not worked a single time in combat. It's something that it always on my melee bar and I've tried using it several times so far with zero effect on the enemy.

Is this a bug? Has anyone else encountered this issue?

    I played 1.5 for 1h and pve only. Encountered: heavy lag when weapon swap, weapon swap breaks stealth, mass hysteria failed around 9 times from 10. And logged out :D

    It works for me. I have noticed that it doesn't always seem to, but maybe the mobs were not close enough. Also, remember that it only effects 2 each cast.

    I have noticed it not working or playing the colored animation. Clearly isn't effecting targets for me around 50% of the time. I am aware that it wouldnt effect targets with immovable on so no need to respond with this. This is testing it agaisnt targets without immovable.

    Also WHY CAN PEOPLE STILL BLOCK WHILST FEARED!? I cant block whilst rooted so..............

    Did you mean 'while stunned'? Because i certainly can block while rooted.

    Anyway, i currently do not use mass hysteria but it was used against me frequentl and worked.

    My mass hysteria seems to be working ok. My summon shadow Image however has been acting funny. It shows the spell was cast and the timer goes off but I don't see it nor can I tele to. Also with ambush coming out of stealth at VT7 im still hitting 1.7k 2-3 hits and death so its still very potent.

    I use mass hysteria in PVP as a NB DPS in light armor and staves. It's probably my favorite ability for PVP, and one of the only ways I can take down DK's and Temps who use sword and board and have heavy defense. It works fine as far as I've seen. You have to remember that diminishing returns on CC abilities will make it seem like the fear didn't work properly when it actually did.

    Why should you not be able to block when afraid? Isn't that somewhat the reason for using a shield in the first place. If I was afraid I'd behind a big ass portable shield if I could...just sayin.

    I think it's probably good enough that your enemy isn't attacking for the duration.

    If i was scared of something and had a shield in my hand, i would use it to block.

    But as far as game mechanics are concerned, players feared should not be able to block.

    ZOS have confirmed you're not meant to be blocking while feared.

    I do notice that sometimes it does absolutely nothing. Nor do I ever see the snare working.
