I know everyone hates lethal arrow who doesn't use it but I've run a bow build for 2 years now. I use lethal arrow very differently and will use it point blank in a fight to setup my combo.

Surprise attack, ambush, poison inject, cloak, and lethal arrow are all on my bow bar. It makes for an extremely fast pace high combo setup.

This build is now totally broken with the new targeting system.

In the past if I started to lethal arrow on a target I could move my curser away and it would still fire at that target.

This is now gone. Soon as the Target moves off my curser, even tho I have line of sight and facing the target, the animation will cancel.

Yet, insta cast abilities have no issue at all. Point and shoot without fear of losing the ability.

Please either rework channeled DD abilities to have more consistently or revert back to the old targeting system.

The new issue is fixed on PC but the patch is coming to console after Thanksgiving.

There are still the same old issues with cast time abilities though.

I hope so! Are there notes?

I just wanted to reiterate, I'm losing my mind with any ability that requires a target and channeled vs insta cast. I need to vent somewhere and express somehow! IM LOSING IT BOYS AND GIRLS!!!! WHAT IS WITH THIS NOSENSE ZOS?! For the love of all that is argonian, I need something to know for sure if this was intentional or a mistake. Reason being if it's intentional and staying this way then I'm done with this game. This ain't call of duty. Having to keep your curser on a target for a channled ability to fire off is insane. This game is not built for that.

On the other hand, of this isn't intentional and there is a fix please point me in the direction of those notes.

K thx bye

I never use it but it makes sense why I don't see it anymore in PVP.

I don't play such classes, so excuse my ignorance.

Is this similar to a Inferno Staffs heavy attack? In such that you can start the attack while not targeting anything at all, but as long as you target them as soon as the attack releases, it will be on target?
