My staves are missing the targets now quite alot. I highlight the enemy heavy attack and about 50% of the time it will pass right through the enemies? sometimes it will target frogs, rats, bugs etc a lot as well. Been happening over the last 3 weeks to a month now..
But for some reason i'm losing a heap of damage into the ether or ground, the attacks either miss completely or pass right through the target doing no damage.. Is anyone else noticed this lately?
Unfortunately i have no way of doing a video or uploading one...

Maybe you should wear glasses? Bad eye sight tends to create a lot of near misses in this world...Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels. But their magic sparkles in nature.

chexor✭✭✭Same here, i have seen this in many videos (mostly in PVE endgame content), i was recording my game play, and there are 2 different kind of bugs. First one is what you wrote, when im attacking target (i have activated merciles and have grim focus addon that counts my LA) i miss huge amount of light attacks from time to time, even tho i am clearly attacking target but LA just go through boss, i notice this issue in trials when the instance is up for a bit longer then usual.
Second problem is known for some time, when you do rotation and game decide to stop your skills and then do whole rotation at 1 second (this is not lag, or bad fps, this is server issue).2 -

PC NA i'm getting some odd issues with skills not firing off too but that has been a while now the staff attacks missing a lot is new though within the last few weeks to a month.I've had similar on PC EU. Not missing the target, but hitting the wrong target and occasionally sometimes just not firing at all. This is with a lightning staff.
Yes i am also seeing this a lot. No its mostly flame and to be honest i've not used lightning in a while i'll have to test.Naughty_Ryder wrote: »My staves are missing the targets now quite alot.

I'm glad its not just me its like the target is a ghost or not where the server says it is.. The attack just completely misses or targets something else.. I thought early on i was just not timing my attacks right but since i make sure the reticule is on the target and its highlighted red and it still misses imo up to 50% of my attacks..
Why i came to the forums i'm losing a hell of a lot of dps.. and if it was bad aim why did it only start 3-4 weeks ago and not 5 months ago..Edited by DanteYoda on August 20, 2018 12:18PM1 -

Critters have always been an issue for me...First time I Meteor'd a bunny was quite traumatic...It is not consistent. I will try with a lighting staff next. I used a flame staff and had some misses.

✭✭It's been broken since Summerset PTS...Don't worry, it's not just your lightning staff, all the channels are still buggy and "off target" / don't fire in this patch. The damage is also randomly truncated sometimes and you see "miss, miss, miss, miss, miss" on even PvE mobs or their health simply does not move. I have no idea why ZOS has not addressed it yet, because I'd consider it a major combat bug since sustain is tied to being able to heavy attack with those weapons.
If you use channels in PvP offensively...Well, you are simply putting yourself at a huge disadvantage.1 -

✭✭I just want to say ICE staves are just as bugged i'm guessing its staves all round, i wonder if they will get fixed..0 -
shaielzafine✭✭✭✭✭This has been happening for a while now with lightning and resto staff heavy attacks. I noticed it the first time when my guild went on PTS to play Cloudrest before the Summerset expansion came out, and it went in to live. It's not consistent and the animation looks you're heavy attacking, but it doesn't go off and you don't get any resources back nor do you do any dps1

I have had this issue on all my staff users ...seems that the weapons change over and my flame staff fires from below my feet and if there is a ledge or a small ridge etc flame just fires into that. If I go into where you can hide helm and change that to on then off or off then on I can actually see my weapons swap on my back and the staff fires normally .
This is happening so often , changed to my stamblade bow/2h and the weapons sometimes do the same but obviously dont fire into the floor....helm setting on and off does the same. Terrible bug that ZoS should be fixing as its effecting dps and pvp combat3
