Healing is not working

    Yep, I've seen the no circle but still active healing springs bug as well. I just mentioned "healing springs is stuck on circle because I spammed it" thing that's always happened and can be fixed with resetting the skill with a block or something from this new bug which is "healing springs isn't stuck, but it isn't working either". I usually switched to a different heal and eventually healing springs decided to work again so I can't pinpoint what broke it or made it work again.

    This is happening to me more and more often. Id port to a friend, theyd have alliance markers above their heads like were in pvp or something and id be unable to heal them. Oddly enough, tossing a mudball or something else that forces your character to target them fixes the problem.
    You just going to stand there like a lemon?

    This is interesting. The alliance marker thing

    I might turn on nameplates to have a look there
    But the problem of not healing a few people occures to me less often than not being able to heal anyone

    Will definitely check this out tho

    Sounds like life in Cyrodiil.. where you use a skill, your client registers is (well at least the buff trackers 'notice' your key press), but nothing happens.

    In the past I've also had issues with Vigor.. ie. your character not playing the animation or getting any heal from it, yet getting charged stamina for using the skill. Other skills have this issue too sometimes. When I was still playing my templar in PvP, I've had many occasions where Honor The Dead didn't cast yet cost me magicka.


    Does the healing springs bug cost you magicka when it is bugging out?

    I made a post a few weeks back with green dragon blood failing (and 5k stamina vanishing in mist form).
    You can watch this video if you need proof of heals failing.

    this has happened to me in the past in dolmens where there is a big crowd. Players having low life I cast mutagen,healing springs or orbs and they don't get healed. I figured it had to do with the big amount of people around, the lag, and limited amount of targets. At first when this happened I asked in guild chat If people could block buffs/effects from other people since that's what I thought was happening...

    happens in pvp all the time, Im sure it has something to do with the lag spikes...party member will be taking alot of dmg, Ill spam breath directly behind them and they just fall over with the heal animation happening while they are still taking dmg. Ill try to get vid proof... On a big side note. HOW ABOUT FIXING TEMPLAR DMG MULTIPLIERS!!! @ZOS_GinaBruno ??? We've been asking and patiently waiting for any word since wrobel stated that there was an issue and they were looking into it months ago...The proof is already there...

    I actually havent really been paying attention to my magicka when it happened, as I was focused on getting it fixed as fast as possible. (barswapping. loooots of barswapping)

    I see many responses saying that it happens a lot when many players are around the healer (as in pvp)
    To me it happened multiple times is trials, where 11 players are around me.
    But also in a Dungeon with only 3 additional players.

    And in a Dungeon the lag is less.


    @UppGRAYxDD Since I take my healer into pvp now and then, I also see this happening, people getting breath-of-life-ed and not getting healed. (now that you mentioned it)
    At first i thought that there must be a really strong dot on them, but now thinking back.. they didnt get the heal)

    We're having trouble getting this to happen on our end. Could someone perhaps attach a video showing what you see?

    Maybe this is the same issue with healing ward not to actually heal. Worth a look to see if it's the same.

    I found another thing and a friend took a gif of it:
    https://i.gyazo.com/2d03ec9269542a15f37a134fd214d546.mp4

    its simply the Healing Bubbles, the Energy Orb not working
    It just vanishes into the ground
    (it also does that in AA, near to the platform where the group spawns on last boss)

    a lot of healers, and myself, I know are having a multitude of problems relating to skills not popping off, skills not popping off after a bar swap, heals not healing, and light attacks turning into a heavy attack you can't break out of.

    The biggest "gamebreaker" in all this, is when I get "locked out" of combat.
    Usually happens, and quite often, in trials and dungeons. I go healing around just fine, then suddenly healing springs, combat prayer and shards, orbs won't work. I get charged magicka for the skills, but no skills go off.

    It happens in the worst times, too, like when everyone is getting hammered by lots of red/pink, their healthbars go down and I just can't do anything for a good 5-10 seconds!

    After the lock-out phase ends, my screen explodes with damage numbers and heals that just suddenly decided to pop one after another. I have yet to figure out how to get my skills working again as fast as possible when this happens, as it has caused quite a lot of wipes in various content.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno I FINALLY managed to get this bug on video, as you can see, the skill tracker is showing that I am using healing springs, even spamming it, it isnt using my magicka

    it is not lag related, because then other healing spells wouldnt work aswell, and i also could use break free quickly.
    could only record a little bit, since we were in the middle of a trial :´D

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf01UiPuKNE

    I should mention, the Springs you see here, are not mine, the other healer kept me alive while i was setting up the recording
    (and it also didnt fix itself in that time, so i was able to get it on video)

    I get this too. Mostly with Healing Springs, I don't use BoL enough to always notice, especially in trials. But there are points where I will say to the rest of the group :$%^& my healing springs button isn't working guys." Then those that have shields spam them more often and the other healer also shifts to heal my spot till my Healing Springs work again. It lasts for on average 1-2 minutes, but that's a long time in a Vet trial. I always thought it was my mouse going out that was causing the problem, but changing the Healing Springs to a different button didn't work.

    The screen exploding with numbers and heals going off all at once does sound like lag, in my opinion

    @Crimsonwolf666
    Breath of life seems to not be affected as much
    Its mostly healing springs and combat prayer

    Indeed, it takes time until it starts working as intended, really unfortunate in a vTrial, i usually tell me group they need to be prepared for a lot of damage, cause healing is not working again
    As you can see in the video I posted, my skill bar is... "lighting" up whenever i use the skill. So it is registering it.
    If it would be the lag, the springs would go off all at once, once the lag phase is over, but it doesnt.

    That would have been my guess as well, except it didn't feel like lag. I could bar swap instantly, I could dodge, I was taking damage, my teammates werent glitching over the place.

    Was more like a combination of lag and being locked out of combat. Usually in such situations, I can still use extend ritual, and rune focus (the only two skills that will work). But healing springs, combat prayer doesnt, so I spam those like crazy hoping it will eventually work and boom, it does...all at once, but without the lag of other things going on around.

    Hello
    It´s me
    I was wondering if you could fix Breath of Life kindly.
    To make it heal again
    They say, that BoL is supposed to heal ya
    But it ain´t done much healing

    (Veteran Hel Ra Citadel, last boss, it kept healing people on 100% health instead of the ones on 20%, even if i stood really close to the ones needing healing. Thus our tank died and only due to luck, the boss smashed the statues and we were able to recover that death quickly.
    But please, have a look into BoL aswell, that´s important.)
