Volatile familiar Double summons

Nelson_Rebel

Putting this here and also in bug reports


Sorcerers can animation cancel the volatile familiar before it summons to actually have two out. I don't know exactly how it happens but it happens. I had a couple guildies show me just to prove it.

It literally added 5k dps to his rotation build with both of them out. So this is probably another reason why sorcs are OP on dps parses for all the elites.

*For anyone curious (haters from my previous post)yes I cancelled eso Sub, that doesn't mean I quit eso fully. I already had morrowind pre ordered and am at least questing through it. I saw the live cast changes for the classes and light/heavy attack sustainability. If it's a significant improvement it may sway me to re-sub, we'll see. Until then I'll keep watching to see if further reverting changes are made.*

Include a clip?

Btw did you just accuse anyone who has high DPS on a Sorc of exploiting a bug?

This is a really old bug, was fixed for a while, seems like it's back?

I'll have to edit it to not include a name, and no just citing it as another possible reason for imbalance issues

It's definitely back, the damage output is quite real

The bug is real, some people exploit it, but when you are not very carefull, you don't see there is more than 1 pet, because they are thogever, the bug was never fix,

I saw Hexy*s exploiting it in a zerg, no one noticed it, but I play pet sorc, so I just laught when I looked he was exploiting again that game

@ZOS_GinaBruno Can you please look at that bug pls ?

Have had this happen a couple of times - no idea what I did to make it happen & only realised when in a fight & wondered where the other mage was hiding - so not all who have this glitch are 'cheating'.

Interesting. In all of my time playing ESO and maining Magicka Sorcerer (since console launch) I have never encountered this bug.

Seems very broken if it can be replicated!

Despite this, Magicka Sorcerers are not pulling high DPS because of a bug. They pull the highest DPS because they are well-suited for it and Volatile Familiar in itself is OP.

Same here. I never had this bug on my sorc, and also I never saw anyone running with two volatile familiars, so no idea how people are doing this. Maybe some tool which allows them to press pet button really fast few times in a row so he gets double summoned?

Lol no. All the top-tier guild have videos of their highest scores. You can clearly see if they're using it or not, and they're not. Don't try to say high dps players are exploiting.

Also, this has been a bug for a long time.

Just pointing out a potential reason for everyones issues with sorcs, not accusing. No need to get triggered. Must be mad the exploit is being given some limelight
