Just add L a g .

It's nothing more than lag induced server/client desync.

Seems only spamming uppercut. Yeah, L A G...

In before all the comments about how macros don't do anything....

If you mean "I am charging but not hitting my target"
I think that is basically you locking on the current location, and while the animation happens they already rode out of range of the hit. I don't know if that charge snare is still in the game, but even if it is, it might be that you are immune to it with rapid maneuvers. If that person has rapid active, you might not be able to actually snare them with your charge, and therefore miss

Edit: it would helpful if you stated what actually bothers you in the title

It's what people call macro slicing.

When crit charge bugs and the animation stays locked in the charge animation you are free to cast skills like normal.

The only problem is, all these skills hit at the same time when the animation ends.

So all them wrecking blows dizzying swings and a few crit charges cast every second (global cooldown time) while the animation is bugged out, all hit at the same time.

This has nothing to do with macros; it just shares a similar name because of how people think macros work all the time.

Macros do not let people use skills faster than the global cooldown and anyone trying to use them with such a dynamic fighting system as seen in ESO is just going to perform worse than other players.

I don't know if the animation for crit charge bugs out like this anymore (I can't remember the last time I saw it).
You've literally linked videos from over 2 years ago on the issue.

Yeah, but in that case it seems more to be a figure of speech.

In short, it's not anything anyone is making happen. Again, it's just a matter of all queued skills finally registering on the other end.

It's similar to circumstances where you die, but are able to continue to move for a few seconds after (even with grey screen), or you move about as normal for a few seconds, enemies reset or lose interest, and then you suddenly drop dead.

It's neither exploit, nor learned skill.

Just good ol' fashioned lag. (The server kind, not the ping kind)

Kelces · September 2018

Yep, bad game design confirmed, no macros at all as this video shows clearly...

This was never server lag.
This was always caused with issues with crit charge bugging out and all skills hitting at once when the crit charge animation ends.

Gross....

Latency. When the Client sends a bunch of commands to the server, somewhere down the line it gets clogged up, and when the server finally receives the commands it all registers nearly at once.

This is client - server lag, not something a player can intentionally cause.

There you have it - Bug using, not macro using. Simple as that.

Here it is again, In 4 years of playing i have never experienced using this attack but it does look like lag in this video i have to say.

You have no idea what a "macro slice" is, do you?

I'd say that's pretty obvious.

And before you futher comment questioning why I'm commenting on something I don't know about, just remember you felt the need to comment and waste time just to point that out, so also useless and non-constructive, I might add. My excuse was a lack of knowledge. You're just being a ***. Well done.

Thanks to @Merlin13KAGL for the explanation. THAT was helpful.

I agree. Most people though immediately think of "server lag" and dismiss it therefore, when one mentions this term here. But there are various types of lag, it's just very specific.
