Dismounting on weapon swap

Soleya · June 2015

I'm finding I'm getting dismounted from my horse if I swap weapons while on horse. However it only happens when swapping to my secondary weapon set. Switching from 2nd to 1st does not dismount me. It also does not happen on one of my charcters at all no matter which I swap to.

It happens on the following:
1st = Axe/Shield
2nd = Restro staff

1st = Destro Staff
2nd = Restro Staff

1st = Sword/Shield
2nd = Axe

1st = Restro Staff
2nd = Destro Staff

1st = Restro Staff
2nd = Axe/Shield

It does not happen when

1st = Bow
2nd = Dual Daggers

After some more trying, it doesn't seem to matter what skills are on my bars (I removed all of them and it still happens).

I did notice the issue does not occur with my nightblade or my dragon knight. It happens with 2 of my sorcs, but not my 3rd sorc. I don't have a level 15 templar yet to try it.

After more trying. I found the issue.

If you have Bound Armor (Sorc - Daedric Summoning ability) on the primary bar, when you switch to secondary it dismounts you. Bound Armor does not need to be active, just have it in any slot 1-5.

@Slayer9292_ESO This is a really helpful writeup of the bug!

We'll reproduce it internally, and update again once we have found the solution with a estimate on when the fix will go live.

I had this happen tonight as well. 9 months and still broken. At least ZOS is consistent with their bug fixes. :-/

I started having this problem tonight when I zoned into Wrothgar.

Turns out it was the Bound Armor skill that was causing me to dismount. Now that makes two reasons the skill sucks.

Thank God for this thread.
This was driving me nuts on my stamsorc and I couldnt figure out why!

Bound armor removed from bar

This issue was fixed on the PTS, should go live in Homestead.

Glad to hear it was fixed after 18 months.
