Retreating Maneuver Bugged

Yamakaziing

This is what happens in combat: I cast retreating maneuver and then pop volatile armor but it remains in affect. (Supposed to cancel when a spell is used)

In combat: cast retreating maneuver use a bow light attack/ weapon ability(NOT a spell) and it removes itself.

This is very frustrating.

Oh also I keep getting snared with it up so...

Interesting to see things ignored that are obviously an issue. But won't be fixed because it would make the people who use it harder to kill. And you just want "easy" kills

I guess that's partially because of a misconception you have shown in your initial post. ESO does not make a difference between "spell" and "ability". Your weapon ability is a spell and is supposed to cancel maneuvre.

I am also quite convinced that light/heavy attacks are supposed to cancel maneuvre, but not sure.

The only true bug you have pointed out is that volatile armor does not cancel it. But here, I assume that you are talking about precast volatile, and casting out of combat does not cancel maneuvre.

All of this makes me think that you are snared because you actually cancelled maneuvre, seeing that you very much misunderstood its intended mechanic. So that bug is also not a bug.

No no no no no a weapon ability is not a spell

Wow. Ok. Bye.

Yamakaziing

and another perfect example of how broken this game is

Yamakaziing

No you couldn't be any further off. I get snared with it up.

You can act like that all you want. But the problem stands: casting a weapon ability should not remove retreating maneuver. Casting a spell removes it. a light bow attack should not.

Frustrating

Retreating maneuvers are removed when you affect others. As the tooltip exactly says: "The effect ends if you cast any spell on an enemy or ally"

All abilities are spells. Light Attacking someone is affecting them by damage. Casting volatile armor is not affecting anyone, but if they attack you and the volatile armor damages them, it should remove it.

I would recommend you to get more familiar with mechanics. Ability and spell are interchangable terms in this game. And under term ability falls everything (or nearly everything) in the game including weapon attack, NPC attacks, monster attacks, enchantments, procs, ...

Its working as intended. They just need to update the tooltip to say ''when you affect an enemy or ally''. Its understandable why some non english speakers might be confused

Yamakaziing

lol I am familiar with mechanics. Yes retreating maneuver needs to be fixed to be more clear then. Because A spell is not a bow attack

Yamakaziing

Interchangeable sure whatever you say

Yamakaziing

a bow attack is not a spell. Argue with me all you want. Shouldn't be the case. Just because you think it's a good "mechanic" doesn't mean it is

Just because you think it's a bug it doesn't mean it is...

Yamakaziing

Lmao you obviously don't see how pointless off a skill it is then. It's a skill that is used with just an add on to increase your mount speed. Or pop it once and run away from a fight. I bet you don't even use it and your moaning on this thread because you simply you don't want people to be immune to your immobilizations for more than 5 seconds

Yamakaziing

But I guess it will always stay the same. Caster should be recieving immunity to snares and immobilizations for just as long as forward momentum does while damaging the enemy

Leandor

@Saphorius don't even bother, it's absolutely pointless.

Too many of you
