Saturday's patch 2.6.9. broke restoration staff's heavy attacks

Adventurer · November 2016

As another user noted in my other topic, and this is also an issue I've been experiencing (but I didn't report it before because I thought it was just the new lag caused by Satpatch), the heavy attacks are semi-broken after Sat's patch as they often don't work.

Basically, often the heavy attack doesn't happen, instead your character puts their arm with their staff forward and retracts it again and nothing happens, and sometimes the staff lights up orange/yellow for the attack as well and then powers down, and the character retracts the staff and nothing happens.

And sometimes nothing happens at all when you keep holding the heavy attack, so you have to do some light attacks first before suddenly the heavy attack starts working.

I've been noticing this with lightning staff heavy attacks, too. Likely affected because its a channel like the resto staff's.

Has this really only been since Saturday? I think it's a sporadic bug that's been in the game since before One Tamriel which is now occurring more frequently. Certainly, I know I've been yelling at my characters for "forgetting" how to heavy attack for months, and 5/6 of them are staff users.

This is happening with all staff heavy attacks . Also the staff animation sometimes returns to staff being help upside down .
