Warden Shalks Don't Hit Taleria

warich

The warden shalk skill does not hit the final boss (Tideborn Taleria) of Dreadsail Reef.

Despite her large hitbox and the large area of the skill, shalks can't hit her.
I'm a bit upset about this as my main is a warden, and the subterranean assault skill is the foundation of my dps rotation.

Just wanted to let fellow wardens (and maybe devs?) know in case they notice their damage dipping during the fight.

Thanks all, I hope this helps!

Yeah I've seen this floating around. I wonder if they'll fix it but then nerf shalks for having "too much offensive nature"

Do you have an example log?

It seems some aren't slotting it, but the one's I looked at that slot it hit the boss.

warich

Yes. Turns out you have to be standing inside the water underneath Taleria in order for shalks to hit her. Here's a damage breakdown from a vDSR run I was in that shows what abilities I had damaging the boss.

Shalks didn't hit her once

@ZOS_Kevin i was wondering if the team had any updates on this bug?

@ZOS_KevinO
So this issue is still not addressed. we just did a run and this is my friend's warden on last boss. he casted 20 shalks and only 5 hit the main boss!!!!
Sorry but you can't ask a warden to swap their main dmg skill with something else.
This trial has been out long enough for you to resolve this matter.
Or tell us if the team is working on this at all.

here's the log of the fight showing how shalks almost have no effect on boss.

Yes, and Subterranean hits twice, so that is 5 hits out of 40, or 12.5%. Technically it is possible to hit, but you must stand dangerously close to the center pool (dipping toes). It is not a good idea to be half a step away from death on a high-movement boss encounter. If you want to cleave the Behemoth, or have to take a step back to avoid red circles or for deluge, Shalks simply cannot hit Taleria. It is absurd given how large the hitbox is, where light attacks and taunts can hit from the entire island. Please fix this, Warden is terrible in vDSR due to this bug.

I didn't think it was necessary to go into details of how shalks work -hitting twice in that case-
and we've known when we played with other wardens that staying close to the central pool helps with it but it's dangerous and deadly to try to position yourself too close to the pool while there are other mechs to going on.
this should not be the play at all. It's a bug and needs to be addressed.
I'm just surprised why this had been not solved.
at least an update would be great if they're working on it for the next patch or something.

Please fixxxxxxxxxxx, this is damn frustating

warich

Not sure if it matters if they fix it or not now since they've nerfed the class into being obsolete as dps.

Joy15

did they fix this today???

warich

no its likely still broken. the patch only mentioned the deluge bug. [snip]

but what can we do here? just wait until update 36 goes live?

[edited to remove quote]

warich

They haven't even mentioned fixing it in u36. They have not acknowledged the bug exists, [snip]

Any news?

warich

No news yet, but hopefully they do something soon.

ESO_Nightingale

Still no news on this bug? @ZOS_Kevin or @ZOS_GinaBruno

warich

I'm just hoping it's not 'working as intended' and that it is a bug at this point.
