Could any of the class reps reach out to ZOS, see if this is intended @Alcast @Nefas @Masel? Weaving feels odd, skills fail to cast after light attacks, as if there's a ping spike, or a desync. Please don't let this topic get burried and go unnoticed.

This is not intended... it has been like this on the PTS and has been reported, we have to wait and see as usual

I like how it took a class representative to clarify the situation, while the devs are just facing away from the problem in a corner with their ears covered as per usual.

I don't think they are doing that, but I would've thought something like this would've been a liveblocker...

Yeah, kinda feels like it should have...

Yes like Masel said, this has been reported on the PTS already. Though for me it seems to have gotten worse compared to PTS. Can just wait and see when they have time to fix it.

Pls fix this as soon as possible, its a big RIP to my bow/bow build, which for me its the most fun

Hardly, its a god awful bug. Lets see what it gives us:

Doubles the number of messages to the server for every single spell that's weaved!
Encourages spamming spells - Enjoy clicking twice a second? that's not skill, its mindless rote spamming or macro play.
Gives advantage to the spammer over people who dont spam, that is not encouraging reactive game play.
In PVE, dps is based on...spamming light.

It goes on.

If removing lightweaving gives us even 20% extra performance and ability to actually use skill, its win.

Huh? Wouldnt you need to be skilled to coordinate a light attack with each skill? Light attack weaving isnt as simple as spamming mb1 lmao. It's about timing a light attack correctly at the end of a gcd and cancelling the la animation with a skill. That's a whole skill gap between people who can hit high dps and people who hit low dps. There wouldnt be metronome addons to help learn light attack weaving if all it took was mindless mb1 spam lmao. So if anything removing an entire element of combat makes it less skillful and more shallow.

He attacks it because he cant do weaving or animation canceling and so he doesnt want others to do it is very simple

So this is what I was feeling while doing the new arena? It definitely did not feel this bad on the PTS, the delay/lag left me disappointed with this game.
