Recent taunt issues

Doctordarkspawn

So, weird bug started up a few days ago, and it's not just me, apparently, from what I can tell.

I did pledges today and many times during my rotation my taunt just...didn't fire off. I press the button, many many times but the character just stands there finishing a light attack animation, as I light attack weave. Then it'll go back to it's snappy responsiveness. It does this multiple times a run, I lost track after ten, and it does it seemingly at random.

The taunt feels like it just...stalls, and I've had it happen once with Inner fire so it's not pierce armor I dont think. What gives?

For pernant information, I'm on NA server, PC. I dont have much lag due to a wired connection.

Ive been having that problem the last couple days with several different skills. They just dont seem to be going off the way they use to. Or i hit it then swap weapons and it just never went off.

I know you said taunt, but it seemed similar amd it really only seems to have just started for me.

I noticed this last night also. PS4 North America.

1. This issue mostly pops up on moving targets where the range to the player is changing. Happens a lot in AA on the axes.
2. Weaving a taunt? People are dpsing with taunts nowadays?

I didn't weave taunt but, I am wondering if this is the problem I was having ransack since sunday in VMoL. MT takes hulk after two shatters, I wait ten seconds to retaunt, hit taunt, hulk doesn't come, wait a couple seconds and taunt again, hulk still doesn't come. Third attempt he comes to me. He has no taunt on him from the main tank so why the hell isn't he coming. This is a bad situation because now Rakkhat is in a bad position on the pad if the hulk doesn't come to me before he lands. Never had this problem before the last few days.

Edit: Taunt works fine everywhere but on the hulk, its off and on with him.

Taunt always works perfectly for me.

It's not just taunt skills. It seems to have something to do with swapping weapons. I like to swap to a resto staff for some shields and either the weapon swap wont swap or the first shield i press doesn't fire off.

I noticed this as well. And it wasn't even with pledges. It was in normal dungeons. I also noticed that when it does fire off, the taunt does not work. I would have to log and come back for it to work properly. And for the record, this also happens on my DPS. I light attack weave like you as well, and it happens to her. She just kinda stands there like an idiot and then back to normal.

If I had 1$ for each time I did a roll dodge+vigor and died because vigor didn't go off till the 4-5th time pressing the button..

..I would have enough money to purches ZoS and fire Wrobel.

This is interesting. There was some frustration during trials where the tank was losing agro. Further more I threw inner fire on during an undaunted pledge (as the healer) and was unable to hold agro as well.

....but there is no way there could be a mechanic that is not working as intended in The Elder Scrolls Online. This must be a new feature to make game play more challenging.

New to tanking and it seemed like my taunts weren't pulling aggro, made me question myself more than once.

Also, just in general, skills are bugged. Vigor/BoL/Taunts, they all seem to just not work at random.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Can you guys/have you guys confirmed these are being addressed, it's more than Streak.

Interesting. I've had af few dungeons lately where I was losing aggro and I started wondering if someone else was taunting because it seemed inexplicable, as I was routinely taunting.

Glad you brought that up. I forgot about that frustration as well. I use powerful assault and at one point in the raid vigor animation would start but not finish and the heal would not go off no matter how often I tried to cast it. If this is the same thing that is happening with taunt where it looks like it cast but didn't then this is a huge problem in raids.

I'm guessing something is goofy since the patch. Two of the better DPS in our guild that can do perfect vMA runs and all that fun stuff have been having problems with their rotations. Not just miss one skill so DPS drops problems but serious nothing works and I'm standing here looking stupid problems.

Healing usually Elemental Drain is the first skill I throw out after swapping to back bar and I'm not sure it has been working every time either.

The same happens with Green Dragon Blood, so many frustrating times where I die because it didn't activate even after pressing the key four times.
