Heavy attack problem

cfearl

I've been having a problem recently with heavy attacks using staffs (destruction and restoration). I've found that for the last few weeks my heavy attacks will only fire sporadically, particularly with the resto staff. This has been most obvious when running group dungeons (although it does happen in quests as well). It's particularly frustrating because I tend to be the healer for the group and I rely a lot on the heavy resto attack to refill my magicka. I noticed a thread on this from January, but nothing recent. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

Console or PC? I have had something similar but each time it's a LOS issue with uneven ground.

I have been having the same issue, for both heavy and light attacks with melee weapons. I hold down the mouse button for a heavy and I get no animation and no damage done when I let go. Sometimes happens with light attacks but not as often. However, this has greatly improved for me since yesterdays patch.

I'm on Ps4. I specifically noticed this in vMSA arena 2 with the dwemer constructs. That entire phase and all the rounds in it I have been unable to use a heavy destro attack unless I stop using all abilities and stop moving all together. If I light attack I have to hit the trigger maybe 2-3 times to get 1 light attack.

I also healed vWGT last night and during the molag kena fight I found my heavy resto was also having some issues getting an attack in. The animation would start, my character would stutter a bit and it would just stop. it wasn't often but it was noticeable enough for me to start jamming down my trigger to make sure it went off every time.

My heavies with a 2-handed maul swing right through enemies all the time with no damage nor expected thunk. Never have that issue with light attacks - I've just been chalking it up to lag but who knows.

I'm on PC. It was never a problem until a few weeks ago (before Thieves Guild) - I can't say for definite when it started. There doesn't seem to be any consistency - sometimes the heavy attack will fire, sometimes it sputters out (as if I've let go of the LMB) and sometimes it doesn't fire at all (as if there's no target). As I mentioned, it just seems to be worse when I'm running a group dungeon - very rarely works with the resto staff leading to issues with magicka recharge.

Same issue for me on PC with staves. Tangling Webs also is glitched, or it was a few days ago. I could cast it, but no damage on mob, It was consuming Magicka so i know it was landing. Is curse fixed yet?

One of my guilders has a fairly consistent problem where he simply cannot heavy attack for an extended period of time. He found a thread he said related it to DK's specifically.

I've noticed it's been buggy for a bit. I have light attacks going into full heavy mostly, but occasionally the other way round on PS4.
