Gap closer inside the opponent. unable to do damage without stepping back

Starlight_Knight

Not sure if this has been pointed out or if its working as intended - but its not good, Using a gap closer such as Crit rush you end up inside the opponent and are unable to do any forward damage without stepping backwards, this is particularly annoying in pvp when i crit rush someone into a dawn breaker and the dawn breaker goes out through their back and away from my target. its not just dawn breaker, a friend and i tested it, and its the same with light attacks and other skills, the counter is to gap close then step back.

Yes this has happened to be me a few times in pvp to. especially if they are moving towards you. makes lining burst up very hard.

That sounds like an unpleasant thing.

I don't know if its working as intended or if that's a new "function" of gap closers, but it made me think of the issue mentioned in this thread (note, the issue mentioned is not actually an exploit): https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/391301/exploit-can-we-talk-about-that-shady-thing-that-stamina-melee-builds-do/p1

hmm i see, i guess there is a kind of dead spot if you stand inside a player you cant hit them with any directional abilities. seams silly that gap closers are putting you into this dead space though.

With the Templar Charge, i'm more often going behind mobs than on them or in front.
I think the issue is than when you use a charge ability most mobs go to you because they detect you at the moment you press the charge key, but you end at the point they were when you hit the key, so you go "through" them because you move in one direction and they move in the opposite one. I also think the further away you are from a mob when you charge the more "chance" you have to finish behind him.
As far as i remember i always had this issue with the Templar Charge.
