PVP 32k+ heavy attacks?!?

Telel · January 2015

So I went to Haderus on the PTS to try out the new bomb skill, and was having a blast with it.

However several times during that fight I'd find myself suddenly keeling over dead. When I went to check my death toggle I found that each time I'd been hit by one minor skill attack for middling damage, and a single heavy attack for over 30,000. Most of the hits seemed to land in the 32,000-32,500 range and all had the destruction staff icon (I think.)

The damage was also from a different player each time so I do not think it was an exploit, or some weird sysnergy with the skill used.

Has anyone else had this issue yet?

YES! All these attacks were delivered by a single player.

IDK what to even say... nearly 20K more than my HP pool (which hovers around 28-29K)... for a fire staff heavy attack... dear gods... I R Doomed if this is "working as intended".

There might be some issues with the scaling of the new passive for fire staff heavies some sets and the new dk buff for heavy attacks

Rosveen · January 2015

An issue with new Molten Weapons, perhaps?

Taonnor · January 2015

Seems to be an o too much.

Yea, you stack it plus a crap ton of magicka and spell power.. If you are low it'll damn near one shot ya..

Thanks for the screenshot!
Looks like a bug

!

I think Molten Weapons gives now 400% more dmg with Heavy Attacks, it should be 40%...I dont understand why this skill now only gives a buff on heavy attacks and why it's so expensive. Give us back the normal dmg boost!

I think few classes and abilities are broken pretty bad, I had a night blade hit me for 31k lastnight.

Im testing a templar myself and one guy I even managed to 1 shot.

Something is off with some of there scaling here in the new system.

Maybe a crit?

Lorkhan · January 2015

this is a bug for sure. looks like the old lethal arrow bug

Isbilen · January 2015

Yeah it's a death recap bug. I was dueling with someone for a couple of minutes, but my death recap only showed two attacks, both for 10-20K.

Telel · January 2015

My thought was it was adding up ALL the heavy attack damage I'd taken before I'd been brought low.

However since there was only ever one attack listed each time I noticed it I wasn't entirely sure. Though of course I did bug report it as often as I could once the fighting at BRK died down.

This is not a death recap bug. I run CLS combat log and it shows every time I am hit. Multiple instances of 31k+ damage from heavy attacks and matched with the death recap.

This is not a UI issue with the death recap. just in case it wasn't made obvious.

I was testing this with a friend. Apparently it is linked to skills that add dodge chance.

It needs fixed asap.

Yep, as a sorc, I was able to do it fairly reliably when someone I was testing with was spamming blur.

Yup, sorcs can definitely pull this off as well.

Telel · February 2015

Well this one does use blur and its morphs a LOT. So that does seem to be more evidence of it being some manner of bug linked to the new dodge chance buffs.

SOon as Telel is on the PTS they shall /report it.

Beleron · February 2015

ZOS, I DON'T WANA DIE LIKE HIM, FIX IT PLEASE! That's brutal.
