ZOS_GinaBruno · April 2019

Please report any issues you run into while testing the Necromancer class in this thread. In general, we prefer you to use /bug in-game but if you’d rather submit a report here, please give us as much information as possible, including screenshots and/or video if applicable. Thank you!

Spirit guardian makes a player immune to reverberating bash cc and major defile. This might apply to other cc's and effects as well.

Stalking Blastbones appears to have a 100% crit rate according to my cmx, I can't find anything in the description to say this is intentional!

It is not, just tested it and it wasn't critting. it appears to crit more often than it should though.

Blastbones and Graveyard both doesnt benefit from lightning staff's 8% AOE buff

BluntLightsaber · April 2019

I may be missing something then, but this has been the result of every single parse I have done against the 3 mil dummy. I got back on to test because I thought that perhaps there was some weird interaction with the passive that gives +10% crit in execute for each Gravelord skill as I had been running 4 on my front bar with a 59.1% crit chance, but unequipping them all save for Stalking Blastbones resulted in the same thing.

The avid graveyard synergy seems very difficult to see/activate in combat, especially if there are other synergies floating around. I did not see my own synergy once in several parses, and when I tried just casting it on the dummy, I had to run around a bit inside the affect to find the synergy. A friend standing next to me was also unable to see the synergy when I was in combat with the dummy. Out of combat, the synergy was easier to find.

I noticed on playing that the dps Gravestone skill often displayed it's vfx at a wonky angle (ie not level with the ground but at an angle to it) .. I presume depending on the spot where the spell was cast was at an angle, even though the terrain was relatively flat and not sloping.

Flame_of_Hades · April 2019

The heal from the Boneyard Synergy Grave Robber can crit, But the heal does not appear to go up when it crits. in fact, I have a cmx where both the heal and damage portion did NOT crit, and yet the heal healed for more than when both the damage and heal crit.

Neloth290 · April 2019

Not sure if it counts but when creating a max level necro it begins to load after pressing create but then kicks me to the character select screen where said necro is now level 1 and when i select it. it goes into a load screen briefly before kicking me back to the character select again. I was able to load into elswyr on other characters but cant on necro.

WuffyCerulei · April 2019

The graveyard aoe seems to not want to fire a lot when I press the skill. Only skill that refuses to fire tho.

StormeReigns · April 2019

It appears that Blastbones as well including both morphs seemingly desummon (along with any corpse that the class generates) when near / attempting to cross small bodies of water; 4 meters wide or less; like puddles in the general overland world.

Understandably large bodies of water like rivers, lakes / any body of water that slows down movement, or causes the user to swim is normal. It is these random much standing puddles that obstruct BBones' pathway. If these puddles are in its path, it'll vanish, as well of corpse from mender, mage/archer and armor near similar puddles as well larger bodies of water will vanish with in a second after appearing.

Ragnaroek93 · April 2019

Pets seem to crit far more often than they should crit.

Ralamil · April 2019

Necromancer skills morphed to the stamina variants do NOT function in a negate, which is contrary to how other stamina skills behave.

Unified_Gaming · April 2019

Magicka blast bones doesn't scale with the destruction staff passives - its damage wouldn't change regardless of staff element type.

I assume it's a bug, rather than design issue, but many times I'll have corpses generated by other Necromancers (and obviously there's a ton of them out there right now) appear as though they're usable by me, even though they aren't. They'll look the same as mine, and cause certain abilities to light up when targeted, yet not be usable.

This really worries me. PvP often requires extremely fast reactions.
Therefore, each corps should treated be equal, no matter where it comes from.
Otherwise skills are not reliable, and Necromancers will not be that useful in PvP.

I was testing Blastbones, Skeletal Mage and Flame Skull against invisible targets and I've found some things

First off Blastbones doesnt follow my invisible target even when I see them with detection potion

Skeletal Arcanist continues attacking even if the target is invisible BUT it doesnt pull them from invisibility (probably bugged but I'd like this as a feature)

Richoche Skull's 3rd cast leaps onto the cloaked target (again this would make a cool nonOP feature)

titaniumdust · April 2019

The skills that tether you to a corpse can sometimes cause your character to spin 180 degrees and not be able to cast the ability, even if the corpse you are looking at is in front of you.

kookster · April 2019

Blighted Blastbones damage in duels is 10-27% higher than the tooltip. We tested every combination we could think of involving no cp, no armor, no passives, etc. It always hit at least 10% harder than the tooltip should allow in pvp. Against a user with no armor, no cp, and no passives it hit 27% harder than it should.

Tasear · April 2019

Nercomancer Rez ultimate doesn't proc hanu compassion set.

This worrisome for similar sets of it works or not.

robpr · April 2019

There is a problem with Skeletal Mage, probably with Archer too. When I cast it, it always appears to my left, thats fine. But when it runs out of targets, it always stacks up with me very closely, melting with my char.

Asmael · April 2019

Blastbones appear to damage allies if NPCs are killing them before they reach their target.

Ankael07 · April 2019

Bitter Harvest: Buffs doesn't stack properly. For example, I would consume 4 corpses and get 6 seconds of heal but if I consume 1 corpse again the healing goes down to 2 seconds instead

Deaden Pain (Bitter Harvest morph): Major protection bonus ends 1 second earlier than it should

Animated Blastbones (Reanimate morph): When Im not in combat the summoned blastbones collapse immediately instead of lasting 8 seconds.

LiquidPony · April 2019

Pestilent Colossus only applies Major Vulnerability for a total of 3 seconds.

Perhaps that's the intended functionality, but if so, the tooltip is misleading and should be changed.

Each smash applies Major Vulnerability to any enemy hit for 3 seconds ...

Going by the tooltip there should be 5 seconds of Major Vulnerability.

Smash 1 - 3 seconds (3s total)
Smash 2 - 3 seconds (4s total)
Smash 3 - 3 seconds (5s total)

The tooltip functionality actually presents an interesting Warhorn alternative: +30% damage taken for 5 seconds versus +15% critical damage for 9 seconds. The actual functionality of 3 seconds is much less useful.

Ankael07 · April 2019

If a lone enemy dies an elemental death such as turning into ash or choking to death by disease damage, their corpse cant be consumed by Bitter Harvest and its morphs (unless theres another consumable corpse nearby)

Boneyard's synergy damage isnt buffed by 20% if you consume a corpse (not sure if this is intended or bugged)

Kryser · April 2019

Necromancer players crash when in a dungeon with stranglers. Happend in scale caller and bloodroot. 1 magnecro healer and 2 stamnecro would all crash when in combat with stranglers

Glory · April 2019

As tested and confirmed by the consistently forum-banned owl @Manoekin, Hungry Scythe is vastly underperforming in damage output compared to other similar tooltip skills.

Note that both the damage output and critical chance hits are far less than the flame pulsar.

Note: 42% critical chance, spinner/vd, khajit, fire staff

While the statistics of critical chance can not be 100% certain that critical chance is off, it is likely not calculating correctly. The max hit indicates that the skill is not doing base damage correctly either.

vierne · April 2019

I don't think anyone's said this yet but I've been accruing bounty while fighting near allies. It happened first during the quest 'A Rage of Dragons' in the final boss fight. I didn't have that issue again until today, when I was questing in Khenarthi's Roost, and killed some Sea Vipers in front of the marooned shipmates. Is this something that's intended?

Ankael07 · April 2019

Boneyard's synergy Grave Robber doesnt proc Nerieneth
Skeletal Arcanist gets boosted by fire staff's 8% buff despite being AOE damage

Mudcrabber · April 2019

I get bounties in delves and in Coldharbour, where crimes are otherwise/previously impossible and the bounty UI doesn't appear. Besides the initial text notification, there's no further indication that I have a bounty until I return to civilization.

Edit: And this recent article confirms that delves shouldn't generate a bounty.

We also had to perform an audit on a lot of older content, because there are NPCs within places like delves or quests who can witness Justice actions, and you don’t want to earn a bounty for doing a quest.
