Crescent Sweep is still bad.

I LOVE the new damage that Crescent Sweep does. This was a great change. There is still a major problem though - it hardly ever hits targets in PvP! For example, when I connect with Dizzying Swing (Uppercut) and then follow up with Crescent Sweep, 9/10 times it does not hit the target. The range needs to be 8 meters, not 6m. It's possible that even the slightest elevation difference also causes problems. Can you please look into this @Wrobel?

    It's all good, just gotta wait until the next DLC, I think that's when they'll give it another meter distance. Just chill in your house till then.

    I am not getting the 66% additional damage from this ability. It does tooltip damage for me even to stuff in front of me.

    Oh that's super weird - it's working for me, and it feels REALLY good to be able to use this ulti. I still feel like it needs a secondary effect though like Minor Berserk for the 6 sec.

    Doesn't dizzying swing and wrecking blow knock the target back like 4 meters so unless you were touching tips with your enemy, it would knock them out of cresent sweeps radius?

    I think it needs to be 8-10 meter range...and after that change since it will be easier to hit, should revert to the old "non dot" skill. All damage up front

    Yeah, but I always walk forward after the Uppercut to stay right on top of them. If ulti is not available, my combo is Uppercut -> light attack -> Executioner, so the walking forward is habitual already. I should be within the 6m for sure. Still, 6m is a TINY radius. We need 8m range on Sweep so that it is at least reliable.

    I completely agree it should be an 8 meter radius too. My combo for it is magicka based though

    Entropy -> explosive charge (if it works) -> solar barrage (for the empower) -> crescent.

    I want the skills in the aedric spear tree to work so bad since the animations for them are so nice

    Not anymore, my Crescent hits for about 2500 more damage than Flawless Dawnbreaker (non daedra) and that's without Burning Light which could proc 4 times. Also, Crescent costs way less and can therefore be used more often.

    But has no +weapon damage. Both skills are at least viable now, Sweep just needs 8m range.
