Nightblades fear skill problems. and heavy desto animations. or is it just lag ?

CavalryPK

Hey Guys, I was wondering if any pvp night blades experience this problem too. The mass hysteria skill occasionally, when cast, the animation plays through half way but the skill does not go off.

This happens more often recently than before... mostly when you are trying to weave light/medium attack.

One instance for example: when dueling and you are about to fear but your aiming cross thingy is pointed at a NPC (in settings hurt innocents is turned off) then the fear skill does no go off. This usually happens since my opponent is dpsing me and is all over the place and I cannot point at him directly to fear.

So to fix this I decided to use tab targeting. which supposedly fixed the issue. however still happens but much less. which is still bad since that one fear occasionally determines the outcome of the duel.

on the other note getting stuck in a medium/heavy desto attack animation after which cannot cast any skills...

Orr this is just lag???

I understand your problem. When i PVP and i try to fear someone.. It just doesn't fear him, even though i'm standing right next to him. It's very annoying, maybe ZOS will try to fix it next patch.

First of all, don't duel where there's NPCs around. Seems obvious enough.

Secondly, tab targeting is overridden if you have your reticle pointed at something else anyway. For instance, if you target a mob behind another mob then point at the closer mob, it's going to hit the closer one.

If it is lag, then good. Don't duel where people are congregated because you're causing them lag, and there's a whole big world out there.

im not sure its lag thats messing fear up, unless you have high ping or something. fear isn't even a targeting cc, its an aoe. you don't even need to be looking directly at an opponent for them to get feared, they just need to be in range and only 3 people can get feared. although im not sure how fear prioritizes targets if more than 3 people are in range. That is how it's supposed to work anyway.

I'm wondering if they stealth nerfed the range of fear. I literally need to be standing on top of people for it to work now. It would be easy to test but the range feels more like 1-3 meters and diffenetly not 6.

Maybe your opponents used potions?
