The patch broke Puncturing Sweeps. ZOS introduced the PTS problems the Templar had into the Live server with the patch. Puncturing Sweeps is all but useless now. ZOS, are you reading this? Please fix this mess.

    PC NA. If you have a Magicka Templar (think it does it on Stamplars too) just go to a single enemy NPC and attack it with Puncturing Sweeps. Repeat on a few more if needed then try the ability on a small mob. The sweep starts and stops unless you are directly aiming at the "target" the entire time. Looks like there isn't a cone of attack anymore but a single point of attack. The Templar will stop with the Spear held in hand until you reposition your aim or move the character so you can attack again.

    Was working fine until yesterday after the small patch. It looks like the exact same problem we had with Templars on the PTS testing for Dragonbones DLC. Looks like the problem was moved onto the Live server with this patch yesterday.

    Another one? Thought you were referring to enemy players with red CP double dipping against it. Why you should always specify

    Besides PS, BoL is broken to. Sometimes it doesn't heal anything. You press button, healing animation, but no healing.

    Sometimes ults like Dawnbreakers are consumed and no ult fires off. Especially near stairs or certain choke points. Fix this.

    That's not a templar specific bug. It's been happening on all classes since the DB patch.

    Yeah this happens a lot and affects several skills. Arrow Spray for example won't even fire if the target is near a large object like a rock or pole. If they are on the other side of an open door/hall, it will often fire but not hit anything.

    DB as in Dragon Bones? Or DB as in Dark Brotherhood? Because I haven't played Dragon Bones yet but I have dropped dud ultimates.

    It's been happening since forever. But since Dragon Bones dropped on PC, it's now the norm and not the exception.

    Even with good fps and ping, sweeps sometimes bug out. You get a damage prompt a while later ("a while" meaning, sometimes it's 15 seconds, sometimes a minute..), as can be seen in the video.

    ^ this happens aaaall the time when you spam the keybind so hard
    at first i thought it is about lag or ping but even with 50 ping it still happens.

    takes about 5 seconds to come back to normal, and when it comes back to normal you get billions of damage prompt and all those skipped animations playing in 1 milisecond, and so it starts eating your fps and creates lag

    You all know I :love: my templar, but I had to laugh at this.

    I thought I paused the video until that one little meek "poosh" sound at the 0:20 mark registered the final hit of the bugged out Puncturing Sweep attack.

    Just posted a video in this thread. Templar was working great after update 17 until the small patch on Monday, the 26th. Now we have this. Ugh.
