Biting Jabs is broken in pvp ! fix please!

chefyoshio
Like the title says biting jabs is broke. I could use the the skill 10 times on someone in pvp and they lost maybe 10% of their health. Im talking about even light armor wearers. People with shields the skill doesnt even seem to work. When i use it in pve it works fine. During pvp it does not even make the sounds of when each jab hits. It makes no sound and honestly feels like it is not even hitting people when im using the skill right ontop of them. Ive seen multiple other threads with people discussing having this same problem so i know im not the only stamina templar noticong this. PLEASE FIX and for the love of yoir game fox your animations. Its been nearly a month and you still havent fixed game animations. Come on man take some pride in your work.

    The LoS check seems to be done when Biting Jabs is activated so either all/most hit or none at all depending on initial positioning. In PvE there are likely more LoS checks (because less performance issues) so the skill behaves more logically. This does result, unfortunately, in Biting Jabs wasting a lot of Stamina.

    Have you tried not attacking air? Most players do stand in a channeled cone attack and hitting it over and over and over again like it's a single target attack that can only go off it the target is in range it's your problem. I have seen players just spamming the hell out of that power on door and air way too much.

    My Stamina Templar uses it in PvP with no problem unless a heavy lap spike hits but then all my powers act up then.

    I typically snare or CC my opponent before throwing any Jabs to prevent them side stepping.
    This is typically done with Stampede on my 2h bar, Deep Slash on S/B, and Flying Blade on DW.

      It is not just the stamina version of this skill that does not work properly,

      the magicka morph misses more than it hits in pvp.. total waste of a skill spot on my bar..

      Man i been usin templar for awhile i used magicka templar for months with no issues and i know how to aim my biting jabs. I recently made a redguard templar for stamina based damage and in pve the biting jab skill works fine.. when i watch videos on youtube it seems pc is having no issues. For ps4 though something is definitly off with this skill. Just like all the animations and other featurrs that are bugged outfor the ps4 system. Something isnt lining up with this skill. Like i said right now i can biting jabs someone directly infront of me without them moving and its doing nothing more than half the time.

      Hmmm, last few times I have played my stamplar, I have had absolutely no issues with Jabs at all, but I go up all close and personal on them.

      I'm guessing your hearing no contact sounds because..... Well you aren't hitting anything. 90% of people are not going to stand in front of you while u mash face on ur jabs button lol. The number of Templars I see spamming this is insane lol. And well they miss... A LOT. Cc first haha.

      Very very very very true, hehe I see many Templars spamming Jabs a proverbial mile away from hostiles, and its so funny.

      Goes for Puncturing Strikes as well. Seems to be a bug against shields. I.e. zero damage against shields.

      was this in today's patch? 2.1.9?

      seems like a major bug if you do 0 damage against shields...

      guess use something like wrecking blow until it gets fixed.

      if you are magic...hmm...sorry. too bad dark flare cast-time and animation are garbage.

      Punbcturing Sweeps seems to be bugged against sheilds as it don't get its damage bonus when hitting shields, im a magic Templar though, cna't confirm if the stamina morph suffers from this.

      As for hitting your target, Jabs take some practice in order to use. While im not as good as i'd like to be, im getting the hang on using it, remember its a cone, if your standing too close to your target it will miss.

      Also, if your a stamina build,. use Stampede to Snare before hitting Jabs to make it harder to avoid.

      its best used with a form of CC, i guess, its one of the easier abilities to avoid, but it can also hit pretty hard.

      like i said i used puncturing sweep on my magicka templar for months with no problem.. i know how to aim it.. something is very off with the skill right now. the numbers are not adding up and when i am hitting targets their health barely moves. and even when i hit it does not make the confirmation jab sounds that it usually does.
    13. chefyoshio
      heres a link to a video i just made showing my jabs doing almost no damage to a vet 5 (im v16 with 170 CP) thats not even blocking. and showing how their is no hit sounds coming from the jabs. this is a vet 5 im doing almost no damage too.. vet 16s i dont even see their life bar moving when i jab them.. its ridiculous

      I think you pretty much proved your point. It really doesn't seem right on your vid. I'm experiencing something similar. jabs doing no sound, but then the damage appears few moments later. Or not. It's hard to say since I'm mostly being in group.

      Unfortunately, I don't think it is. Seems to be a common problem with some PC/Console gamers where they're unable to adjust the camera to follow their target while also moving their character with the target as well. I've seen a lot of templars in IC/Cyrodiil sitting stationary while spamming Biting Jabs as if they're a turret implanted into the ground. For this reason, I can easily see how the OP or others may think Biting Jabs is a terribad skill, when in fact, it's actually amazing in the hands of someone who's able to perform two different actions at once with both hands/fingers. I believe this is more of a "Learn to" situation over a "Buff it" one.

      In the video, you are hitting your target and doing damage, even on the vr5 person. They have ~30k health so your jabs are not going to show as 25-35% of their health.

      It is fishy that some of the hit sounds are missing, so there could be something messed up.
