[Bug]Is Velacious Curse/Daedric Prey suppose to work this way?

So I've been testing and found if you curse an enemy and switch bars, if you use any moves, the curse is cancelled.
I thought maybe that's how it may have been set up for curse.
But for Prey, it's 6 second timer means you will switch bars (indeed you are inclined to), also cancels.
This has made either form of this move completely unuseable.
This isn't intended right? Did TG fix it by chance?

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah xbox, I knew curse has been messed up forever, but I thought maybe not Prey, but also Prey0 -

✭✭✭✭Doesn't do that with curse for me.
I kill many people with a curse, streak, Frag, dawnbreaker combo and the curse still goes off.0 -
Waffennacht✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Is all that on the same bar? Do u end up on the same bar that has curse on it when it goes off?0 -
Brrrofski✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭I switch bars in between, but may end up on the same.
But I recently moved it to my back bar, and neve noticef an issue prior either.Edited by Brrrofski on March 10, 2016 4:51PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I was testing last night. It maybe that it only cancels if you are not on it's bar when it goes off?
Definitely had issues last night on Xbox0 -

Yeah, it's worse than I originally thought, as on my old PvP build it went off 2 outta 3 times, on my Pet build It's absolutely unuseable. Which is major, as it's one of the very few buffs/DoTs for sorcs.
Ill post some vids when I can play.
I found if I do the bare minimum I can get NPCs to die, but still have a full health bar.0 -

✭I never had this problem either, but I put all my buffs on my resto bar. I do have to say though, I swap bars pretty frequently and I've had curse explode while I was on my resto bar. I'm on the PC, so it sounds like it might be something to do with the console.Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies!0 -
Waffennacht✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Im hoping next update fixes it, like the Templar bug. It seems to be console only anymore. Thanks for your help thus far0 -
Megalex1✭✭✭@Waffennacht I've been doing some testing and I found something weird. It may be that i'm lagging but see if this happens for you too:
* I cast velocious curse on the enemy and don't switch bar. After 3.5 seconds the explosion happens and damage is dealt as normal
* I cast velocious curse on the enemy and switch bar. After 3.5 seconds, seemingly nothing happens - HOWEVER, it looks like the damage is still applied even tho the enemy's life bar seems unaffected.
Can you validate the following:
* Cast velocious curse on an enemy and switch bar until you expect velocious curse to have activated, then switch back and cast VC again and switch. Do this until the enemy dies. Does the enemy die even tho their health bar is still full? It did that for me.0 -
Megalex1✭✭✭I'm able to consistently kill enemies with full life bars by swapping to a bar without VC when it activates, it's a weird visual bug, but also the creature seems to die in a strange way0
-
Waffennacht✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes that happens, now the next thing is... after switch AC or spam hardened ward, if you do it like 3ish times, the curse never goes off.... or curse, switch and spam light attack, that always cancels it for me.0 -
Megalex1✭✭✭How do you know it cancels it since the HP doesn't move when it goes off? Plz do more testing to figure out what's going on0

Waffennacht✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭On the examples I did, i light attacked the enemy, he died when his bar hit zero. In that case it would indicate that no damage was dealt by curse0
