Maelstrom Bow still Bugged with no mention in Morrowind Patch Notes

William_AIA · April 2017

While many people might not notice this because the meta for PvE is magic dps, the maelstrom bow is still bugged and it was disappointing to see the lack of a fix for Morrowind. I have to charge the thing twice during maelstrom, impacting my score, and usually once or twice during a trial. It's a small bug, but the little things add up.

In case the bug isn't clear, the enchantment on the Maelstrom Bow activates with each tick of volley if you remain on your bow bar. It's possible to lose over 20 charges with a single cast of volley, which I would hope isn't intentional. The sound of thunder is also heard repeatedly which signals the enchantments issue. Prior to Homestead, the charges lasted far longer and my ears weren't rip.

Is there a fix in sight?

It seems that it's not noticed yet. So please ZOS...acknowledge this issue. I just wanna hear "we will fix it with a future incremental patch." If you don't know what we're talking about or if you just can't reproduce this bug please let us know.

No, really. We are aware, testing a fix, and plan to get this into a future patch.

With so few stam builds still playing and the tiny fraction of people that have actually completed vMA, this is obviously not a huge priority. Improving PVP and buffing the Warden is really all they care about.

Too bad there's still nothing about it though.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Any news on this topic? I noticed the extreme quick drain of weopon enchantment charges on my vMA bow as well.

Can't believe they haven't fix this yet.

Yeah it's frustrating. I love breaking my eardrums every time I play a stamboy.

This needs to be looked at because it's seriously debilitating in trial. During my last run of Sanctum Ophidia the bow discharged four times. It fully depleted twice during our Serpent fight. If it cannot last a 10 minute fight on a single full charge then I fear for stamina again this patch.

It was fun to play my night blade in trials again. I'd hate to moth ball him again over bugged gear.

@Wrobel or @ZOS_RichLambert any chance you guys can prioritize a fix for this?
