Random issue: After being stunned, attack function is frozen until death?

mle022

Since the last patch, I've had an issue where if I get frozen or stunned, and it releases (meaning, I can move my legs) my characters arms won't work. I can't attack. I just have to stand there or try to run away, until I die. I can't use my abilities, I can't hit, but I can block power attacks. I can run around, but not attack at all. It's random too, not every stun does this.

I had this happen for 5 mins at least a couple nights ago. For 5 minutes, I couldn't move my arms or anything, just ran around and took the fireballs from the daedra until I died. It was very frustrating. This was the worst one, I've had it done several other times prior to this, but at random points of the game.

Anyone else have this issue? I didn't see anything on the forum recently about it.

I have something similar happen to me two times. I think it is related to talons plus knock down.

I am stuck in one spot, I cant use any skills and I cant move, but eventually I can melee, but only the left click melee, no abilities. I have to die or get Talons cast on me again to move again.

Yet another issue where error detection/correction was not coded.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing!

I can't even left click melee after being stunned. I can right click block, but left click melee won't work until after death. It sucks.

I've had this issue a dozen or so times. I've been able to get out of that state by mashing my ESCape key and then quickly returning back to the game with full functionality. Have even had it occur twice in the same fight.

NBs have had this issue forever and it was supposed to be fixed with this latest patch... maybe the fix was to give everyone this "ability"? LOL

Pressing ESC twice (open and close menu) should break you out of it.

I have something like this happen in PvE over 20 times now. Can't use any skills or light attack , can only walk slowly tell the mob kills me or de-aggros. This also happens to 1 other person in my guild all the time. ( We are both wood elf Nightblades ) (PVE ONLY never happend to me in PVP)

Thanks for the heads up on the ESC suggestion, I'll try that next time.

I'm playing a Wood Elf Nightblade as well.

fwiw, I'm a templar with a bow, so yeah not just for NBs.

Just a tip - to insta-fix this on the spot (work around) just open your inventory and then close your inventory. I get this bug often, opening your inventory and then immediately closing the menu will allow you to properly engage in combat again.

I've had similar issues like this happen. Usually it happens if someone kills my target in the middle of me casting, or I get stunned in the middle of a cast. Only ways I can get out of it is hitting my free roam button, or hitting esc twice. Annoying bug many of us are still waiting for a fix on.

I tried hitting ESC and ".", and going into menus etc, nothing worked except another DT cast on me.
