Can someone please explain to me why when. I am practicing my dps on a training skeleton my Hurricane shows 84% up time and my Major Ward 94% when practically it's the same skill? I don't get it and I am not even sure if I have to get better with my time ups.

✭✭Combat metrics is not 100% reliable. I've had Rearming Trap up 100% and it's shown a 20% minor force uptime, clearly not possible.
It's a useful tool, but take what it reports with respect to buff uptimes with a pinch of salt.

Solinur✭✭✭I would love to look into such cases If anyone would actually report them to me, y'know?

I am not really sure what it is, but since I have yet to get a skeleton target dummy, I would actually agree with @Paulington.If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...
If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.0 -

Trap doesn't trigger on cast and Minor Force only lasts 9 seconds. You would have to cast it directly at the enemies feet every 7 seconds to keep Minor Force up 100%.
I tested Boundless Storm on my magsorc (the magicka version of Hurricane) and had similar results. I repeated the test re-applying Boundless about 5 seconds before it expired and it showed 100%. I then repeated the test reapplying Boundless right when S'rendarr showed it expiring. With 6 applications over 117.29 seconds both Resolve and Ward show 98% and Boundless shows 80% (the 6th cast was only active while waiting for the dummy to go out of combat). That would suggest Boundless was only running for 18-19 seconds per cast when really it is (supposed to be) 23 seconds, so there is something wrong there.
Given the questionable innards of ESO and probably the API as well, I wouldn't just go blaming the addon. In general you should take any info coming from ESO, through the UI or the API, with a grain of salt.
Solinur's post above might be lost on those who don't click the Addon Author link in his signature, he is the author of Combat Metrics.
@Solinur, I gave you an awesome for an awesome addon! Some test results above for your perusal above.
