Eclipse (Totally Dark) blocking action bar?

pHlipper · March 2015

I'm having this problem:
In fights, it occurs regulary for some seconds, that i can't activate/use skills on my action bar and i can't (light/heavy) attack either. And it happens after i used ecplise (totally dark), and this debuff is still active on a mob. If eclipse is not present, i have only the "lag" problems as anyone else.

It seems, it happens when the eclipsed mob is casting a channeling spell against me, which puts me into this freezed state. Like some of these bats, who charges an electric shock. ... but then, i'm also locked out by necromancers, pyromages, and so on.
A collegue guessed a silence spell, but there is no area effect, and (thanks to addons.....) no visuable debuff. (And here i have to say: why are there de/buffs in the game, when it's nearly impossible to keep watch/track them?
I also thought addons might be the problem, primarely loot-aadons. But turning on/off, made no change...

Same. After using Eclipse, my skill bars are blocked and no response.

Sometimes double enter tap solves this problem, sometimes not.

(No fix about this at new patch. Come on ZO guys, as you know, seconds are very valuable for healers..)

only happens to me when ennemies are using channeling abilities which can be reflected (aka : Imps).

It bagging after mobs reflecting spell back on themselves. This bug prevent it from using in Cyro. <--skill dead. I reported it from pts 1.6.1 and still no response.

This is of course still bugged. I get it just having it on my bar it seems.

HEY GUIZ!

I heard you found a bug in the Templar skills? Guess what.... no one at ZOS cares.

Sweet! Another thread about it! Apparently, the fact that we've have been begging for our skills to be fixed since last year isn't merit enough for ZOS to issue a fix. So, maybe upping the number of threads will work.

^ not sarcasm

Developers: A skill that, when cast, causes players to become unable to cast anything else isn't a feature. It isn't "the way the skill works", mostly because no where is that written, but also because that is terrible design. It isn't acceptable that we, the players, are trying to figure out when and how Eclipse fails, possibly dying from the process, without any feedback from you.

I am a software developer, and our team runs a forum that our customers can use to get help directly from us rather than normal support channels. Each week, one team member mans this forum. Do you know what I do when it's my week? I answer questions. I post something to let them know I'm working on it. I've never ignored an issue because A.) that's terrible customer service, B.) I honestly care that our customers are happy, and C.) I would eventually get let go.

The only solace I can take from this lack of communication is that maybe, and hopefully, your executives have fired the entire Templar development team and you're now looking at hiring new people. If that were the case, then yes, we likely wouldn't get any responses. Because, the last thing any company wants to admit is that they never knew what they were doing in the first place.
