What the **** - Templars have been living with this?

Allright, so i have been levelling a new baby-templar (magicka). And oh boy, i got a surprise with the Toppling Charge.

I have always "mained" a Sorc, so i have had my share of rages over how buggy the Overload ultimate is. But i had really no idea how templars have it. Their one and only key gapcloser, is the most bugged ability i have ever seen.

1. It will occasionally lock you out of ALL abilities. Sometimes for 1 minute, sometimes for 30 seconds.
2. It has insane bad pathfinding. Compared to other gapclosers like Crit Rush, you have SO many times where it will not fire off. I will not compare to Ambush which is too easy to connect with. But in my opinion they should all be like that.
3. Even WHEN you should DEFINITELY have path to the enemy, you can get a bug where it won't fire. You can stand right in front of enemy, and you will only fire the first microsecond of the animation, and then it will cancel, as if you lost LOS.

This has, single handedly, caused me to stop playing this class any further. As a magicka class, looking to use Sweeps, it is crucial to have a gapcloser. And i am not going to play something, which is bugging out THAT much. The rage when i died because of it, would simply be too much.

So - all of my sympathy goes out to you Templars, who have been living with this so long. You are real troopers.

    I just don't use the skill. It does not bug out on me the few times I have used it, i just have no need for a Gap Closer on my magic templar.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Or try casting it closer than 3 meters, you will go into animation for 1-2 seconds but nothing will happen.

    I just laughed the whole time I read that. It's gotten so bad that's about all I can do. When TC bugs out on me my reaction is always to just attempt to switch bars and spam heals/survive until the game starts working properly again. Doesn't always work though, in which case I rage just like you and log onto my NB.

    The primary use for Toppling Charge is comedy. Getting stuck in the animation and not being able to cast anything else is always good for a laugh.

    Sorc bug: overload glitches and you get to keep your magelight buff.
    Templar bug: gap closer glitches and you get to stand there and take it like a man, while being unable to use any skill.

    But don't fret.. there's a workaround.. waste a potion to debug yourself... though that tidbit of info probably caused ZOS to move it way down the prio list, as there's a "fix"... hence.. not important enough.

    This is a core reason why many of us are growingly becoming very upset. Templar players have been patient for a couple of years on this, but when we see every other gap closer functioning smoothly, it becomes infuriating that they keep 'fixing' this skill to no avail.

    I'll be honest I think the gold sellers that hit ESO in the first month of the game are a root cause of why Templar has the problems it does. Those gold sellers used software to stack up on templars following each other and charge-jab spam dungeon bosses. Because of those guys, a lot of the things wrong with the class came up, some things were simply made worse. As a class Templar really hasn't ever gotten out of that condition.

    My new Templar was coming along really nicely. I got Toppling Charge and used it on a zombie. I was all like "this looks really cool! No bugs here why are all of the Templars complaining?"

    So I went into PvP.....

    Within 2 minutes I found myself sprinting with retreating maneuvers toward an enemy player. They begin to look my way and I smashed Toppling Charge.....

    Long story short, I fast-traveled my butthurt Temp to Stormhaven and respecced immediately. Not going to lose access to my character for some stupid gap closer. How could a skill be LITERALLY BROKEN? Why ZOS!!!

    Toppling Charge has always sucked. Even as a Magicka Templar, I have always preferred Stampede (Critical Rush morph). It snares which is nice with Jabs.
