Imbue Weapon and Crystal Weapons are still a pain to weave

CaptainVenom

It hiccups hard with inferno and ice staves, animation glitches with melee weapons, the ability stops working when trying to keep the weave and you have to "reset" your instance and start over. Bows and Lightning Staves feel like the only weapons those abilities work well with.

Is it just me? Because it feels really clunky to use those abilites.

I don't think it's just you. I've kind of a similar love/hate relationship with Imbue Weapon and staves. I managed to slow my timing down between my light attack and Imbue and it worked slightly better, but based on other parses with different abilities my DPS was much better than the slowed down parses.

I'd change those abilities to a toggle:

While active, light attacks (and heavy for Crystal Weapon) deal the ability's additional damage (and drains the amount of resources for every use) with a 1 second cooldown. If it becomes automatic, it would become easier to handle.

It'd need a 50% nerf or take over the global cooldown on skill casts preventing abilities from being used when it's proced otherwise that proposal would make these abilities wickedly OP. Would also make them even more annoying because you'd need to toggle it off to cast something else if you're constantly weaving light attacks.

Or make them like Blood Frenzy and have them siphon resources every second they're toggled on and increase the cost by 20% every single second. Would make sustain a pain but then you could really stack damage up in a short period of time temporarily.

crystal weapon is hype, imbue bad.

I can do it with dual weapons and bows. It's hit or miss with staves, and 2h weapons confound me.

The best "cheat" I've come up with is to double-click or even triple-click each light attack before I use the ability, that appears to prevent the ability from stepping all over the light attack.

@ZOS PLEASE, just take a look at those skills.

For God's sake, just look how glitched Imbue Weapon and Crystal Weapon are. I think it's about time we get a fix.

I said it at the beginning I'll still say it now.
The imbue weapon (elemental weapon etc) looks like you are gutting fish (the fishing mechanic)

It needs to look better and be a bit faster...force pulse is still the best looking spammable in game.

Like, I'm simply speechless on how terrible and glitched Imbue Weapon is and the Dev Team seems not to know or doesn't care. Really...

I agree, I think if they just made it look better or even just made the animation faster, it would feel a LOT more natural.
