Mass Hysteria - failing 40%-50% of the time

This is one of a long list on Nightblade bugs that have been a pain from the early days, but it seems to be getting worse. About 40-50% of the time, when I press my Mass Hysteria skill key my character animates the spell action but there's no final audio cue and red flare/black clouds effect and the spell fails to cause fear. I've had it fail 4 or 5 times in a row depleting my Magicka with no effect on MOBS. Mass Hysteria is almost as unreliable as Cloak!

    Are they immune?

    You can animation cancel it, if their immune it won't work though.

    No, I'm having it fail regularly for MOBS that aren't immune. It's as if it partially animates (using Magicka) but doesn't complete. If it fails once it seems as if subsequent failures are more likely.

    NBs often ask me what a hell Fear doesn't work on me. It's pot, dudes, simple pot.

    No, I'm talking PvE MOBs, I don't know how reliable it is in PvP.

    Are the mobs 5+ levels above you? If that happens, your skills start to miss.

    I have seen this too especially if at least one enemy is CC immune, perhaps it fails if the first target it selects is CC immune due to no smart system

    That's about as often as my character fails to CC break fear. Sounds fair to me.

    Holy Necro...

    But on topic: yeah, it happens a lot in PvP, not so much in PvE

    I use Mass Hysteria -> No Audio/Screams -> No Skill Effects -> No Feared enemies
    Happens even if enemies don't have CC Immunity
