Have to stop running before I can cast an ability

failkiwib16_ESO

v16 magicka based templar healer
I can now only cast abilities, if I stop running and stand still - then when I cast my first ability I can run and still cast it.

I died at the planar boss, when I was tanking it while it had blue flames - where I got the wonderful choice of: stop running to heal myself yet die because boss reaches me v/s continue taking damage and die.
-I chose to stop up and heal, because I was the healer and had to heal my team ..however I never got the chance to even try that, because I can't cast abilities as soon as I stop running either, there is a half a second timer or something els that prevents me from doing so. #¤%&/(

Am I the only one experiencing this, or is it a new intentional feature? Because it is extremely annoying and a dps loss for me in pve dungeons, I don't even dare think of how this affects pvp.

I am no expert but it sounds like your running is sprinting, and you cannot use skills when sprinting. If it is a bug or some feature turned on auto-sprint (if there is such a thing) I cannot say but I have not had that issue (yet).

A while back, there was this bug where you sprinted even after the spring button release. Its a long time since I have experiened that. As previous answer said, you cannot sprint and use skills at the same time. It have always been like that.

Thanks for your responses, but I do not sprint. I usually keep my stamina for blocking, so I never sprint. I run normally and have to stop up and wait like half a second, before my skills can be activated.

I noticed something els yesterday:

• If I mount and try to use Rapid Maneuvre, I can not cast the skill at all, unless I dismount. It would start the animation for the skill but stop it quickly, so if I spammed the skill the animation would make my char look like as if I was having ants beneath my armor lol.
• I could not stop and then use Rapid Maneuvre, like I can do when I run on my own feet and cast skills.
• I can cast Rapid Maneuvre before I mount, then I can continue using the skill while I'm on my mount. The full animation for Rapid Maneuvre will be done here, no issues.

...and again I was not sprinting, and I had full stamina.

Sometimes mounting up causes all kinds of problems for me. Especially with rapid manoeuvres. I fix it by relogging or dismount/remount which usually solves the problem for me. Tends to happen more frequently when game is laggy.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo noooooooooooooo what is the world coming too

@Vangy I tried relogging, reloading ui, disable all addons etc. and it did not work

Somehow it is fixed now. I did 2 runs in vSpindleclutch today and it seemed back to normal. I talked to a friend, who is also a templar, and he told me that he had the same problem ....and that it went away with a mini patch, came back with another patch, and the last patch fixed the issue for him again. This may be the cause of it all I guess.

>.<

OP unfortunately the TG introduced hundreds of such bugs, you will sometimes notice you press E at a node and it won't do anything, after 2 seconds you move your mouse around and press E again and it does something, hope it wasn't an aspect rune or a chest cause another player would have taken it by the time it works for you

failkiwib16_ESO

@Duiwel I mainly farm during the odd hours where very few players are online, so it is not a problem for me. In IC sewers I do encounter that, however only in the road to center... all the other places where mobs don't drop trophies or the way doesn't lead straight away to Center, I usually do get the chests.

My main problem however was not farming and looting, but simple dps. My dps, healing and fighting capabilities dropped so hard with this issue. I'm happy they did fix the problem though ....and I hope I never get to experience that again.
-it already costed me a ton of deaths in vWGT, because I couldn't do cast healing while I was tanking the Planar Inhibitor.

Duiwel

Yeah there is currently a bug with some gap closers' like stampede / crit rush. I believe invasion still works so you can work around using that. The others are a swing and miss really, sometimes they work sometimes they don't.

Ouch... I feel your pain man.

I have not played much since the patch last night but the game did feel more fluid ( like they fixed some of the TG DLC bugs they introduced ) at least in terms of the general bugs.

So here's to being hopeful that your experience will be better tonight

failkiwib16_ESO

@Duiwel I'm a magicka based templar heal/dd so I don't use those skills, but I hope they get fixed. For now my skills seem to work normally again, I can cast them when I run without having to stop and hold a 0.5 second break.. So my guess is that the last patch fixed that problem.


Now I hope they fix all the other problems lol. Yes the game runs much much better than early release of TG DLC, I remember that one of my officers reported that he was alone online for many hours during prime time, because everyone els in my guild crashed and couldn't log in lol

This happens to me quite a bit on PS4.

I'm pushing Rapids or a buff and nothing, I even notice this when mounted thing to use Rapids.
