PTS Update 30 - Bug Reports for Combat Balance & Abilities

Narvuntien

I feel like there is something going on with crit damage.

On live I have 111% crit damage but on the PTS it is only 75%

I had to check the patch notes to see if you had changed it, there is a mention of it when talking about crit damage from stealth but I couldn't find more about significantly nerfing of crit damage.

That is more than shadow or the CP star not working and Archer's mind was buffed.

1. As previously mentioned, Crystal Fragments seems to refuse to fire instantly when procced. I can see the 'proc' both in the Active Effects and the active buffs/debuffs, but the character animation is not instant.

2. Elemental Weapon animation seems broken.

Tried dodgerolling in different directions and blocking to see if it fixes the issues. Blocking animation seemingly fixed the issue briefly.

However -- after a brief while, the issue reappeared, and the animation seems to be broken once again. Attempted to dodgeroll and block once more, it didn't fix the issue this time around.

Instant cast proc from Crystal Fragments is not working, the sound of the proc plays, but no change of icon on bar, and the ability retains it's cast time.

The same thing is happening for merciless ressolve bow proc on magicka nightblades: the sound plays, you fire the proc but the icon on the bar does not change, and you still see the arrow.

Also, with the skill countdown tracker enabled (which is required for backbar display?! - why?), the skill gets darkened so much it becomes impossible to see a change from merciless to spectral arrow. Definitely no need to darken the skill icons, the countdowns are plenty visible.

Please let backbar be visible even w/o enabling countdowns - essential for those of us that use add-on skill trackers.

2 bugs

1: Thaumaturge CP is non functional, it does not add to DoT tooltips with 50 points invested and toggled.

2: Deadly Bash sword and shield passive is bugged. It does not reduce the stamina cost of bash by 40% which it is supposed to. Bash costs the same as it does on my 2h bar instead of being reduced by 40%.

With Sword and Shield equipped

With 2 hander equipped

These 2 bugs are still present after this weeks patch.

I am unsure if it's my end but Barswap feels incredibly laggy and creates a stutter each time you bar swap on Gamepad. Similar to the massive UI bug Gamepad has been having with equipping gear on PC/NA

I was experimenting with the Molag Kena set on KB/Mouse, and it was lagging like crazy too.

CP Slotable Cooldown gone

On Live Server there is currently a 30second cooldown for changing cp slottable.
However there is non on PTS.

I dont want to complain about it, but since it wasnt mentioned in Patch notes (at least I cant remember reading about it, but its only been like 40pages or so its unclear to me whether this is intended or a bug.

This is a quirk of PTS and not anything that is likely to go live. They just don't have the same cooldowns on the PTS server as on live. The Update 29 PTS had the same lack of cooldown, only to introduce the 30s CD on live the day of release, totally taking the author of the Jack of all Trades by surprise, since the addon worked gloriously on PTS.

My weapons have disappeared and I am punching everything. My dual-wield abilities and set bonuses still work.

I think it might have something to do with outfits because I do not have the outfit applied to my weapon but I do for my gear.

I asked in zone chat if it was happening to anyone else, but I only got one person saying it happened to their staff so it is not just celestial daggers this is an issue.

My front bar weapon is fine, but my back bar has done exactly this. The weapons skills sometimes are fine, but usually they are dimmed out and don't work. It's just since the update on Monday. There was a bug like this for Companions too, so I'm not sure if it's Companion related or not.

1. In reference to the recent changes to skills for Bleed/Physical -- Eviscerate and it's morphs - Should this be changed to bleed damage instead of magic damage? If not, could you elaborate as to why?

2. Eviscerate>Blood for Blood(morph) - Could this be changed to scale off of HP, or better yet, maximum offensive stat? This would enable a bit more varied builds. Currently it's a very, very particular skill and not very useful outside of a few situations.

It allows it to be used for melee magicka builds. If blood for blood was bleed damage and scaled with stam that would be cool.

Hello,

I noticed the Bewitched Skulls stats are different in the pts server:

My weapons disappeared for my main, but showed up for all my alts.

EDIT: I can confirm it has something to do with outfits. Unequipping my outfit makes my weapons re-appear again. I painted my weapons different colors with the outfit system, but it makes my weapons invisible and makes it look like I'm punching things

Please reword Flying Blade :
Fire a secret dagger from your sleeve at an enemy, dealing 1894 Physical Damage and marking them for 5 seconds. If the enemy hit is casting an ability they are interrupted, set Off Balance, and stunned for 3 seconds. While an enemy is marked, reactivating this ability on them allows you to jump to them, dealing 1894 Physical Damage and grants you Major Brutality, increasing your Weapon Damage by 20% for 40 seconds

In its current state, no one uses it, at least in PvP. It's clunky because of the 2 parts firing. The damage is weak, the boosts it gives are useless because we have far better options to get them, and the gap closer is clunky because it requires two fires.


Rework please. We need a strong skill in par with the 2h skill line. I'm so tired to have to use the overloaded wrecking blow/executioner/rally combo to be efficient in PvP as a stamina player.

The Berserker morph for werewolf and the “bleed” it applies; is currently not proc’ing the ‘bleed status effect. Did this with 100 ticks at a 7.5% chance each with 0.0 procs.

bug is still present, what's the point of this thread if you don't even acknowledge the bugs and let us know?

1.: Stats from foodbuff disappear when you change zones.

2.: Tooltip always says it adds 0 health and 0 stamina.

Piercing mark from the nightblade assassination tree, does not prevent target from stealthing, or affect target visibility. It basically does nothing except for the major breach :-/

Just curiosity,
Did we get a slightest change on any of the issues that were adressed multiple times in this thread. I didn't see a single developer comment or change. It feels like talking to a wall.
No change on dragonknight healers/passives, no change on brawler nightblades. I highly doubt we will get any changes on pts before it hits live.

CP passive Duelists Rebuff:

This one seems not to calculate.
I go to Saint Olms to test damage mitigation on different things.

When he hist me naked I receive 155478 dmg
Having 9795 resistance I receive 132639 dmg
Going stage 1 Duelists Rebuff I receive 132639 dmg
Going stage 2,3,4 and 5 same result.

Did you slot the node and hit confirm?

It’s easy to slot it but miss the confirmation part, especially if you’re on cooldown.

Can you please make it where the Werewolf Berserker Light Attack Bleed actually counts as a bleed for proc’ing status effects? This has been a thing ever since the change. Reply to this if you need a video example of 100 ticks compared to another “bleed” 100 ticks.

Having it work like soul trap would be neat where if offensive stam stats are higher it becomes bleed/physical damage.
