Unrelenting Grip Activation Unreliable

Jamini · November 2016

It appears that occasionally that the Ardent Flame ability "Unrelenting Grip" does not always fire properly.
The visual effect is that the animation will start, and immediately cancel.
This bug appears to occur most often after a rapid change of elevation. It may be related to the elevation restrictions of Unrelenting Grip.

How to Reproduce
1. Stand on top of a high-elevation object (Such as a keep wall in Cyrodiil)
2. Jump off
3. Land
4. Attempt to use Unrelenting Grip on a target on the same elevation.

Often there is a delay of up to thirty seconds before the ability will function.
Sometimes when on the same level as the target, Unrelenting grip will display an "Elevation too high/low" message. This does not always occur.

hey this isn't a fix, and may not work all the time. But, if you get the too high too low message, do a fully charged heavy attack then use chains. I haven't done this recently, but it used to work a few months ago
even if your not in melee range to hit them, still swing away at the air then chains

I'll try this as a workaround. It's still a bug that needs reporting though.

Brought this issue up quite awhile ago, is a shame the skill hasn't been fixed yet.
