There seems to be a bug that affects the ultimate generation "buff" you get from light attacks et al (healing other with buff, etc):
Below, I list what I know so far, put uncertain elements in paramthesis and add some speculation.
- It usually happens after a (close?) death (in pvp?).
- There will be 0 ultimate generation from ticks over time.
- Combar frenzy still works and gives some ultimate at least.
- Only zoning (leave Cyrodiil; Porting / dieing is not enough) and relogging (super annoying because of the chance to get the healthbars bug then) fixes it.
- It was known to two players of my guild that wear 5 heavy magnus and started to happen to me when I switched to that set.
So far I do not know many specifics. The only heavy armor users in our guild use magnus and the only magnus users use 5 heavy.
Further, I made the switch later but since then I am affected more otften than the other two.
I am a templar, the others are nightblades. I may be that it happens when there is an effect of:
Repentance, Purifying Ritual or Defensive Stance on us. AFAIK we may all be affected by those spells but it might very well be that my Templar is so more often. Further, it
might have something to do with negating the cost of a spell in the exact moment of dying. However, I would imagine saptanks having even more problems than me, if that was the case.
So far, I do not know if any of the skills is relevant. Neither if the cause is
5 heavy or 5 magnus.
I also created an in-game /bug report but I am not sure if it succeeded because of the, well, bug when reporting bugs where you get a white screen instead of the confirmation and issue-id.
