Phantom uppercuts (BUG)

Mr_Koh

So I'm not sure what makes this happen but when I uppercut sometime it doesn't show the animation, but the enemy still gets hit with the uppercut, also when you get hit with this "phantom uppercut" you can't cc break the knockup and you are just dragged all over the floor. I think it has something to do with weaving heavy attacks with uppercut, but yeah this needs a fix please and thank you.

Yeah it does. It has a lot to do with the weave. Seeing the window of opportunity is much larger on PTS than live, you can start the 2 attacks back to back and still pull it off. Unfortunately it bugs out a lot. I was posting this in another thread. I had some WB's send Sunshine flying and then have the heavy hit after he was prone like 10m away. Was some serious silliness.

It won't get fixed and people will find a way to abuse it. This is the ESO way and the ZoS philosophy: exploit early exploit often. Prove me wrong ZoS.......PLEASE

Have players who have been aware of how to exploit this in the past reported the issue on live?

It seems to me that this is an old bug that some of us chalked on the bad netcode/not necessarily a bug that was purposely repeatable.

Does the bug carry over to other skills with cast times? Perhaps this could explain some of the multi-instant-hit snipes?

No it does not affect snipe.
This is a glitch with Wrecking Blow and Heavy Attack only (as far as I can tell).
What OP did not mention is often one of the attacks, either heavy or WB do not do damage. You will see/hear the swing and hear the impact but the target will take little to no damage from one of the attacks. This happens almost as often as the bug itself, though it's not guaranteed. Sunshine and I were testing this.

You're right I did forget to mention this. This is true. One of the attacks does little to no damage. And this is not an old bug from what I understand, this is a new bug.
