Burning Talons(Dark Talons) missing enemies.

Has anyone else noticed Burning Talons, or any other version, completely missing enemies? An example would be two enemies right beside each other equal distance from you but only one gets rooted when you use the skill.

I've had this happen countless times since the big update and it seems to happen a lot when fighting on uneven ground. I know there was a fix for AoE spells and line of sight rules but maybe this fix and the changes to Dark Talons created a new bug.
If anyone has been having this problem please post here so we can get a fix for it.

Lastly, this is not a post about the changes intentionally made to Dark Talons. This is about a possible bug that could be affecting more than just this one skill. Please keep discussion about nerfs and OP comments out of this thread.

    Yes. I can have three guys together standing right on me and talons may only get two. I just figured it was result of the nerf and any mention of it would bring out gloating Templars.

    I haven't experienced this bug myself. I noticed that you don't pay the magicka cost of talons if they don't hit anything though. It's the first change I wished for when first using this skill.

    Well I'm glad to hear it's not just me at least. Not paying the magicka cost is definitely nice for when you completely miss everyone getting used to the new range but sucks when it bugs and you only hit half the targets.

    So is anyone having this issue with any other skills?

    I have noticed this particularly tanking in Craiglorn . I noticed that it was hit and miss - sometimes 1 out of 3 never all of the pack. I notice it less in vet zones but I don't often use it there.

    Sounds like you're just confusing target caps and reduced radius for a bug.

    Not sure if you mean me NordJitsu but nearly every time I have had this issue it was with 2-3 enemies at the same distance away from me. I always try and maneuver around so I hit every enemy with the skill.

    I don't know if the game calculates the distance differently when fighting on uneven ground like if one enemy is on the ground with you and the other is on some stairs. If this is the case then I can see why sometimes I miss one since I try and keep the max distance.

    Ya I have no way of knowing, it was just a hunch. You could be right and it could be a bug.

    I'd try to replicate and record it if I were you.

    It always seems to hit me in PvP... twice when I dodge roll

    Lol, sorry for the derail :wink:
