What can I do if break free does not work properly

Break free is generally sluggish for me, so I put a bash into my rotation. But sometimes it simply dont work at all. Against a bomb raid the game becomes unresponsive and I could imagine why its like this. But sometimes I experience it against single players in the mid of nowhere. Even if stamina is full. Sometime I can break free after spamming the button 5 times but then my char cant even do light or heavy attacks, just move and dodge.

Can this be caused by addons? Or is it simply bugged?

Meanwhile I crafted potions to become immune for some seconds to not loose fights cause Im feared/stunned before I can provide the death blow. But that cant be the solution.

    It's bugged, and has been forever. One of the more recent bugs involves multiple knockbacks. There are other bugs that mimic an inability to CC break, like the snare stacking from multiple bombards and acting like a negate. Then there is the 'sprint' bug where sometimes your character gets stuck in sprint and you can't use skills. Then there is the bug where all you can do is CC break and can only fix it by relogging. Then there are all of the times when CC break goes off but doesn't give you the CC immunity. Then there are the times when you don't CC break after a hard CC but are not given the CC immunity after the CC effect is over. Then there are all the times when you can't CC break at all, sometimes it's laggy and just delayed, other times it's just broken.

    Well...that summarizes my experience. I assume their software architecture must be a complete mess so I cant expect a fix?

    Every time these bugs are mentioned, ZOS has been unable to reproduce them. Frankly, I very much doubt they pvp enough on the Live servers to even experience these bugs firsthand. Run immovable pots, and do your best to control your stress levels when the game inevitably causes your death.

    Next time it happens, pop me a whisper with your loc and I'll shoot over and try to help you out. I see you've got a khajiit avatar, so we should be in the same alliance (if you're lore-abiding)

    • 50. CC is broken, often you do not get CC immunity after being CC'd unless you break free of it. See Video.
      [Status: working as intended] ZOS_GinaBruno: You are not granted CC immunity until the full duration of the CC has ended. Some people may be getting CC'd prior to the duration of the original CC ending, which may be causing some confusion. If you want the CC immunity applied to you before the end of the CC, you must use CC break.

    Also Ping.

    I notice I will be fighting and suddenly the game stops responding to skills, a second or so later I begin running away because of Fear.

    Inside of the second, even if I know its Fear, and am spamming break, I cannot break until I start to run away.

    It feels like the server is not taking my skill requests because I am feared, but my game hasn't got the memo yet so the Nightblade is free to attack me while I just stand there like a fool waiting to begin running.

    My ping varies from 400 - 2000.

    In most cases dying before I begin to run results in me not being able to be resurrected or travel through keep doors until I do the classic "Dodge Roll Switch Weapons" fix.

    This is in no way a stab at Nightblades, I am unarmed. The Nerf gun is not loaded and is sitting in its case under my bed.

    My ping is higher than your resource recovery...
