    FInally sortof figured out what was going on right as servers were going down. Initiate snipe on a target, if your reticle moves off the target even for a fraction of a second it cancels itself. Makes hitting a moving target very tricky.

    Would you say it make take some skill with aiming? So much so that you could call yourself a sniper

    I had this on pts and thought it was just a bug or lag. I never had an issue landing dizzy on live but on the pts I dueled for about 20 mins and landed 3 dizzys lol. This needs to be fixed asap.

    Exactly... im afraid it wont last long though. Snipe is one of the best tools in a zergers arsenal so im a sure ZOS will make it priority to fix it. Imagine not being able to do 10k snipe on heavy armor from basically the other side of the map before cloaking and/or running away and also defiling that player you just hit with snipe.... how is 90% of the people in Cyrodill supposed to play now? Buying siege is the next best thing i guess...

    This is very stupid though, the skill is unusable like this so I can't even play. And it really, really sucks knowing how long zos takes to fix stuff.

    PTS has failed its one and only purpose it seems. This is going to upset the last 3 or 4 guys who still use dizzy swing over dual wield.
    In fact, some of the most passionate players I know of are already calling it quits if this is not fixed.

    You were supposed to bring balance to the meta ZOS, not ruin it :/ my bad for expecting anything from you though.

    I would think you should know better that snipe is not even very strong. It's easy to dodge or break los. I mean, it's better than dizzy but that's not really saying much.

    There's a lot of tears about snipe in this thread. Wonder how long before the tears start flowing for double infused DW twin slashes.

    The tears are more for the fact that people who snipe are usually in the back of zergs where they can’t be touched and when you look there way they instantly cloak and run.

    I really hope this gets fixed and doesn't get swept under the rug. As it stands 2h can no longer compete in terms of damage in PvP since cleave is low damage and even less against major evasion users (there are lots of em).
    I tested Dizzying Swing in several duels against a stamsorc, stamdk and magsorc. I was completely unable to land any attacks unless the target stood completely still.

    I am 1200cp with a grand overlord stamsorc that has primarily used 2h in its journey to such a rank so please spare me the 'l2p' comments :)

    I agree, this is not a l2p issue, it needs to be fixed.

    Hope this is true you have to aim, maybe it's like this in more abilities, or is it just cast time? Snipe having to aim sounds so good. I use Dizzy with some classes and am looking forward to the challenge if it was intended.

    Aiming doesn't help here. the animation will cancel constantly if the target moves even slight left or right.
    Easy counterplay already exists for Dizzying Swing in many forms so even if this is intended it is certainly a step too far.

    you have to maintain your aim on target untill the cast time is complete, which is easier said than done. Try it yourself against any moving target , you'll see.
