Major Molten Weapons Bug (still not fixed).

Zsymon · September 2015

The extra heavy attack damage with this skill, works less than half the time. This was the case before the patch as well, after which ZOS said they'd fix it, but even though the skill was revised, it still only works half of the time. Meaning if you do ten heavy attacks, only about 4 of them will have increased damage. (Yes I made sure they were all fully charged.)

So you get 40% chance to do 40% bonus damage on heavy attacks.

That is not worth slotting, so please fix this already ZOS, it's been like this since the skill got changed the first time. You even replied to a bug post about this but for some reason decided not to look into it.

Ah so that is why it's a major dps loss to use right now. I suppose even if they fix that it still won't fix the dps you lose when you have to cancel your heavy attack for every aoe you have to roll out of or block you have to make, or if the boss dies before you get your heavy attack off. I really wish they just left it at any heavy attack.

Yeah, not only have they massively nerfed it, they also left in the huge bug that makes it unusable.

If you spam Heavy attack only the buff should always apply? If you try to Mediumweave you will not get the bonus anymore.

I remember having this problem last patch, tested will complete fully heavies and the numbers I got fluctuated a lot

it is a pitty, the skill had potential for both stamina and magicka builds and worked well with champion system options. I was looking forward to trying it with a stamina orc DK to see how much heavy attack damage i could pull.

But if its not consistent it is a waste for PVP and PVE. Its not like it lasts long enough to get more than a couple heavy attacks off, so if only half are getting the buff its a real shame.

@Zsymon was this observed on any particular weapon or all weapons?

If you spam fully charged heavy attacks, the buff will only apply about 40% of the time, that's the bug we're talking about. Meaning a lot of your fully charged heavy attacks don't get buffed at all.

I tested with dual swords as well as inferno staves, only 40% of heavy attacks get buffed either way.

WTB the old molten weps that gives you flat dmg buff (major sorcery/brutality in a perfect world) and adds flame dmg to light/heavy attacks
