Combat mechanic weakness

Kypho · November 2014

Is there a post what is collecting issues in combat mechanics?
Like:

- Fear doesnt give immunity if you don't break it
- Charge makes you stop from moving from range
- Lethal arrow healing debuff stacks
- Aoe spam makes fighting irrelevant, just make a lagforce and spam unblockable aoe spam
- Insane Block holding + spamming
- Purge makes some skills tick twice as fast makes some skills doing insane dmg. Defensive skill what killing you...
- Cloak issues
- Weapon swap is still not efficient enough
- Inner Light and Master Ritualist are not working for Templars (?)
etc.

I died eight times tonight on my templar

of those eight times, five were directly attributable to the fact my weapons would not swap

might i have still died? maybe, but a clutch heal/shield can make all of the difference when your healer is being focus fired on (especially when i know full well 2 of the times i died i would have escaped/gotten inside a safer area had i been able to refresh blazing or something else.)

i ragequit the templar because until weapon swapping is 100 percent smooth, the toon just cant function as it is built.

Weapon swap is a pain. Sometimes you push, nothing happens, you push again, and game swapping twice so you end up like you did nothing lawl.

Got hidden by mods, from what I heard. Still there for dev review but I guess zos doesnt want more people knowing about it til its fixed.

Hmm looks like: "ohh they found it! lets remove the post.... ok. problem fixed"

I hope most ppl did read it and know what it does. I think ppl have the right to know about it. Hidding it wont help much, because ppl could avoid it by not using purge till they fixing it. They do again opposite thing what would be good. now those who dont know about it, will think the opponent exploiting somehow.

Maybe they just hide it because they told how to reproduce it, still its 2 way bug. not one sided exploit, its a bug.

Got a weird message when I tried to switch weapons with a large battle happening at Ash.

'Cannot switch gear'

WTF?! I just want to switch to my other weapon and not put on a different armor piece!

Inner Light and Master Ritualist are not working for Templars last I checked.

I do believe we helped you with a few of those deaths. Glad to be of service.

When this happens you can correct the situation by opening your inventory and then clicking the weapon switch icon on your paperdoll.

The charge root will never be fixed, it is a necessary mechanic to ensure that charge actually puts you next to your target instead of flinging you off several meters away. This compensates for server lag, animation lag, etc.

The Purge issue is known, I'm sure they are working on it.

i had no idea purge made skills tick twice as fast.

thats just nice. add another thing to the list of things ZOS needs to fix

Well critical charge ensures to hit the target without rooting

Still need a lot more testing but can confirm it on all ground based AOE's I have as a templar in my arsenal, plus Blockade of fire/unstable wall as well the burning procs from fire weapons/fire rings

How about "stuck in combat mode"? You can't hide, and you can't ride horse, and you can't use keep portals. That mode randomly happening even when you far from battle.

Also:

-When you get charged at, you get hitched in one spot (today I was getting hit with lethal arrows while I waited for someone to hit me with a charge).
-You can still spam skills when your invisible during batswarm (morph).
-Templar perma-stun

.

Too tired to try to think of any more, any others to add to the list?

Don't forget the bug that breaks tab target and prevents you from using any single target skills until you tap 'esc' 2x. Been in the game since launch, never acknowledged, never fixed.
