Heavy attacks not locking in

Sru

Is anyone else experiencing issues with initiating heavy attacks. Especially on my sorc, I'll do the backbar AOE, swap, forcepulse then try a heavy attack. A fair bit of the time, the character will stand there like a dummy and no heavy attack will lock on despite a ball of mobs in the target area. I have to release mouse button, shift target very slightly and then try again.

Been like this for a few weeks but seems as bad now as prior to patch. Others in groups I am with report the same - even the tank.

It's almost like the target area is really small ... most odd. Never had problems like this in the past on any character.

I have had this happen. i stand there like stupid.


but one i have more often is where if i ani cancel my heavy attack i sometimes do 0 damage like i didnt even do it. i dont even get medium attack damage, its like i never wound it up at all. I think it happens when i click the skill a little to soon like right when its changing from medium attack to heavy attack. but its very annoying

Yup both sound very familair. I always felt like it was my mouse getting old, but now that it seems other people have it as well I finally realize it might just be the game. Mind=blown.

That second thing you speak of happens to me most often when I try to do a HA+Dawnbreaker combo. And indeed, it usually happens when I release the HA too soon.

Yep had it on Xbox EU quite often last week or so.

They really need to adjust these animations if they want us to weave in such attacks. It is just clunky.

Happens a lot in a recent time, annoying as hell

Yes I often get this issue where i press + hold mouse for heavy attack and nothing happens. It shouldn't have anything to do with who you're targeting because light/heavy attack can be done without target.

Also sometimes I swing the heavy attack but it doesn't hit anything, even though I clearly have the monster targeted.

Both are really annoying bugs.

Yes I have this happen. I put it down to not having the reticle on a valid hit box. I line up the ret so that it is red and registering it is on a target and go again.
