Dual wield animation bug. Abilities not registering for a couple seconds, then firing off together.

NightbladeMechanics

While attacking on my dual wield bar, my animations frequently cease happening for a couple of seconds, aside from light attacks, and then all rapidly fire off together after the pause. Damage is delayed until then, and it is proccing 2pc Kena, indicating the abilities aren't registering at all until after the delay -- just the light attacks that should be weaved between them.

Very annoying.

Is happening on my mageblade, stam warden, and magicka sorc. Has happened on magicka sorc in the past, but I've not observed it on mageblade or warden until this patch. A friend reported having the issue on his magplar too.

Maybe it's the lag?

Happens when fighting without lag as well.

It's been happening with my destruction flame staff too, except it's like the LAs themselves get stuck too. So it'll be a bunch of me waving my staff like an idiot with nothing happening, then all of a sudden, a gatling gun of fire shoots out of my staff with all the damage registering at once.

I think this happens on stamblades too, as I have definitely had a few times running dungeons with my stamblade friend where all of a sudden I'll hear Killer's Blade like 5 times one right after the other, and turn and see my friend borderline trapped in this animation of repeatedly stabbing the target. Forgive my *** onomatopoeia, but like, instead of "pss-shew, pss-shew, pss-shew", it's "PSSPSSPSSPSSPSSHEWHEWHEWHEW".

This is not lag related it started when they changed animations in Dark Brotherhood.

Surprise! Over a year ago with no fix.

Yep, me too. And my characters get stuck in a mid-fight pose sometimes too... stuck in a combat animation frame.

been having this and similar issues since one tamriel, add it too the pile.

Yeah.. I have a bug post on this too. Been having the DW growing pain since Morrowind patch, I believe, for me. Still intermittently working or not working when trying to combo it with a heavy attack. As of yesterday, all my DW (StamPlar, Stamblade, StamDk and even Stamsorc) are experiencing the growing pain on and off. It has gotten a bit better than it was for the couple or few weeks following Morrowind release. It was so bad then that I haven't brought out my DW toons, until about a couple of weeks ago. Since, yeah, it has been intermittent, but not smooth as one wants.

Magplar checking in. Same thing happening here.

DW MNB similar issues but not as much as before.
