There are two bugs with Crescent Sweep
1. It does less than the tooltip damage
2. When it crits, it does not take into account Elfborn (it may be taking into account Piercing Strikes but I did not test this)

In the image above, I am attacking an effectively 0 resistance mob. Puncturing sweep does 2808 base damage and 4970 when it crits. My crit multiplier is 0.77 (0.5 base + 0.1 Piercing Spear + 0.17 Elfborn). The base damage of 2808 is exactly 2.4 times the tooltip value of Puncturing Sweep which is 1170. However Crescent Sweep deals 7061 damage which is less than the tooltip value of 8322. The DoT ticks of Crescent Sweep does 3927 base damage and 6951 on crits. The 3927 matches the tooltip value of 3927 and the crit multiplier here is still 0.77.

In this second image, Puncturing Sweep and DoT ticks of Crescent Sweep does the same damage as before. When Crescent Sweep crits, it deals 11298 damage. This means the crit multiplier for Crescent Sweep is 0.6 (11298/7061). This suggest that Elfborn is not being applied correct to the initial damage of Crescent Sweep but Elfborn is applied correctly to the DoT ticks of Crescent Sweep.

@Asayre
Amazing testing as always. But this just again lets me ask this question: HOW many abilities have bugs like this? It could be anything... And it again leads to this conclusion: Rewrite the WHOLE math of the game.

It's a mess. I am wondering why half of their teams isn't already fired.

Vet Maelstrom stage 4:

It's possible to knock the mini-bosses into the center of the stage using knockback abilities like puncturing sweeps, making them un-targetable and forcing a wipe.

Also, on Xbox one;

During some dungeons my Templar had infinite ultimate healing with the restoring light ultimate equipped.

Camera gets stuck in third person.

Can sometimes take up to 9 times to call my horse.

Randomly during battle trying to heavy attack makes my character put his weapon away.

this also happens on PC

Wrothgar Clothier: A large percentage of the time I even walk into this building I get instantly dashboarded, never mind trying to use the crafting table. A few times I've had to try logging back in repeatedly after the DC because the dashboard is instant, and I am literally locked in the clothier until I manage to escape.

Very true, however, as you said, even when they come back I do not rly see any fixes incoming. I also think they simply do not know how to fix certain things. Like you have seen on the stranglers stage 3, instead of fixing they just change stuff xD

Total dark the morph of eclipse reflects the damage of the dw skill flurry and it's morphs. Just noticed it recently haven't tested it out but only seems to be part of the damage, the attacker takes most but the attacked gets a little damage.

Can we get Purifying Ritual "purifying off" crystal fragments added to the list?

Also Power Overload getting stuck in heavy attack or no attack when spamming light attacks too fast?

Also the being unable to use left click at all any more in the interface including block, break-free and using transitus?

Can you elaborate the issue with the crystal fragments + Purifying Ritual?

@Xantaria

Simple, you cast a fragment at a templar, he casts purifying Ritual. The fragment never hits the templar because it is "Purified". There are several other abilities that this can be done with although I Don't have a magicka templar so I can't say which ones with certainty.

Shields of Agility/Endurance/Willpower (Item): For some odd reason those items cannot be upgraded to legendary.

I have two different Willpower Shields I upgraded to Legendary.

I believe some of the set items dropped by bosses from IC dungeons which were shields were originally broken and were unable to be upgraded/disenchanted but that I believe was fixed.

I also don't see any mention of the no left click UI bug. I had this happen to me literally 3 times in 2 minutes last night and it is the most serious bug affecting me in the game right now. Deleted and reconfigured all addons, reset my settings etc. Nothing fixes this except /reloadui or relogging.

There has to be some combination of animation cancelling or breaking free while PvPing that causes this as it never happens to me in PvE.

BoloBoffin · December 2015

I'm having trouble with God of Schemes - the last main quest. When I approach the Seat of Tyranny to perform the final ritual, the other four companions do not make it through the door. I've done it four times, logging off and on, quitting the game and coming back five minutes later, and then quitting and coming back 8 hours later. It doesn't matter whether I release anyone in the first main hall or not. The companions are with me until I get to that door before the Seat of Tyranny and then they are gone. Without them, the quest cannot advance.

Lava_Croft · December 2015

Haven't seen this on the list and have been paying some close attention to it lately: Wrecking Blow has a tendency to knock you back through block at a fairly high frequency. Yesterday alone I counted over 20 instances of the ability completely ignoring my blocking with full stamina. This is not just confined to Wrecking Blow since I've seen at least one video on these forums where a Meteor hit someone through block.

Secondly and a bit less clear is that I'm almost positively sure there's something odd about damage received in Cyrodiil, even though the game shows Battle Spirit as being active. I'm not sure yet if this is just broken perception or actually a thing, but what takes half an hour to kill me one day can easily nearly instakill me the next. No idea what's going on.

Happens a lot in pve too

EgoRush · January 2016

Bug for Spell Power Cure I noticed yesterday.

If the users health is bugged (as often happens in this game) then the SPC proc will not apply to anyone in the party. I was in vWGT and my health bugged to be stuck at 14.5K instead of 17K after the fight with the 3 DK bosses (side note: my health often bugs during this fight). After this, the Spell Power Cure buff would not apply to anyone in my 4-man group. I relogged to fix my bugged health and the set started working again.

Note: we tracked for the buff by FTC, character sheet spell damage, and by using skills to prove the set was broken due to my bugged health bar.

Note 2: my health was not bugged on anyone else's screen, it was bugged only on mine. Yet this was enough to break the set.

Refuse2GrowUp · January 2016

Note: I am on PS4 NA

So, I know you already have Torug's Pact 2pc as bugged. Issue is that you report that although the 2pc bonus Spell Damage is not showing on the character paper stats, you are indeed receiving the bonus. Initially, I did a quick test and it seemed to be correct. Running a helm and staff 2pc, I unequipped the helm, spell damage stayed the same but tool tips dropped; equipped the helm again and spell damage stayed the same but tool tips returned to normal.

Issue:

Unfortunately, during the initial test I did not have a gold helm with the same enchantment to equip in the helm's place during the quick test. I did not initially account for the loss of max magica...thus less damage on the tool tips. I assumed this to be the loss of spell damage.

Anyway, realized my flawed first test and now have another gold helm to swap out to compare for a more accurate test. Long story short - On PS4, Torug's pact IS broken if we are only going by skill tooltips. Since we don't have damage numbers (damn you ZOS), I cannot test if the damage itself is actually effected. However, there is an interesting twist...see below.

My gear for this test:
Main body: Gold Seducer set
Shoulders: Gold Kena Divines
Helm: See test: Swapping between infused Kena and Infused Torug's light
Wpn: Gold Torug's Resto w/ Precise

For this, I am using a light gold Molag Kena helm with the same enchantment and same trait as a light gold Torug's Pact helm. No buffs active, no food, not in Cyrodiil...

Test 1: With Molag Kena Helm and Torug's Resto staff (thus 2pc Molag Kena has no effect on paper stats and I only have a 1pc Torug's).
* Spell Dmg is 2,808
* Max Magicka is 34,543
* Frags tooltip for 9,630
* Spell Resist is 9,721

Test 2: With Torug's helm (thus same 1pc Kena bonus as above, but now also the 2pc Torug's bonus)
* Spell Dmg is 2,808
* Max Magicka is 34,543
* Frags tooltip for 9,630
* Spell Resist is 11,656

In both tests, the damage tooltips for Crystal frags remains unchanged...thus Torug's 2pc is NOT effecting the Crystal Frags tooltip (remind you, we can't see damage numbers on console so it may or may not actually register there). However, this test did reveal one very interesting thing...when equipping the Torug's 2pc, my Spell Resist went up 1,935, the exact bonus provided by Torug's 4pc (gold).

In summary, Torug's 2pc spell damage is very likely bugged on PS4 and not providing any damage bonus, although it IS providing the 4pc bonus in place of the 2pc bonus.

Two take-aways (aside from Torug's is broken):
(1) We NEED damage numbers and a battle log on console to test this stuff
(2) This NEEDS fixed as I and many others have invested a lot of gold, mats, upgrade materials, kutas, etc in crafting this set...that is broken.

If there is anyone that can think of control factors I may have missed and wants to confirm and/or run their own tests, I would appreciate the confirmation.

If you're asking for this change, then you're saying to remove Purify on channeled abilities, which is a little unfair imo

I would like RD to be unable to be purged and roll dodged.

Heavy attack bug

This bug comes and goes, but it happened again and I was able to determine a few things

1. when heavy attacking and holding heavy attack, the next attack won't follow up
2. if you try to heavy or light attack while a heavy attack animation is occurring then it won't register
3. spamming the mouse click may start the next attack, but rarely
4. if you heavy attack and animation cancel with an ability and follow up with another heavy attack then it will not attack, its still waiting for the heavy attack animation to finish
5. restarting the game will fix this bug

Unsure the abilities that caused this, but it seems to be associated with lag to start and then will stay with players after.

Dermestes · January 2016

Isn't the Khajiit passive Carnage still bugged where it shows the weapon critical within the stats window but doesn't actually apply it to weapon hits? I don't see it anywhere on the list.

Yeah I am still waiting for this one to be fixed, talk about gimping Khajiit, it's bad enough we are the only Race without a Attribute bonus for our Racials and our Carnage racial doesn't even work..

Thanks I didn't see it there. I know what you mean it makes me not want to play my NB due to this bug and the dev's don't seem to want to actually fix it.
