Puncturing Sweeps broken in pvp, is it even being looked at?

Just logged off after getting into a duel in vivec (PC EU) and the skill totally failing, it's a central part of the skills I use and the character seems broken without it in pvp. This was against (until another player turned up) 1 player and still the game was lagging and the skill not working properly. It also happens at resource points and against npc's at delves, it's seriously broken. Once I was inside a res tower continually firing off the skill against a mage and not 1 hit was landing, all that was happening was that my character was doing the skill animation over and over again but no sound, no damage dealt. So is this ever going to be fixed or can't I play the class in pvp whenever it's busy?

Just made a templar after playing around a year and a half, it was the last class I've made after playing all the others and have been liking it quite a lot, but without this skill it seems pointless. Why can't the ESO staff fix it? Is it related to how dizzying swing also fails at times with lag? I'm guessing it's been like this for a while and surely there's some way of making it work better so that it isn't so prone to being useless when there's lag/it's busy. If I log out of pvp and play in pve zones it instantly works fine. So I guess it's the same old broken pvp issue, but this skill seems one of the worst to be affected by it.

Might just have to go back to another class because I only play in pvp mainly, and it sucks because like I said I was enjoying playing it. There was supposed to be some upgrades to the EU servers apparently with it being so stressed due to the amount of players now, clearly if that's been done already it's not worked well enough for the game to work properly at all.

    It's not just puncturing sweeps and it's not just PvP. There's some wonkiness going on with templar in general.

    This happens to me regularly.
    For some reason, my abilities will grey out, even though you can see I have plenty of resources. Not only that, but I couldn't bar swap as well.

    Don't really know what's going on, but templar is definitely being buggy for me lately...

    The templar class in general is a mess in PvP. They're strong 1v1 so it gives the impression they're in a good place. Unless you're fighting bad players though, you're limited to healing, or kill stealing. Both at the same time if you wish.

    They're fixing burning light because apparently it was dodgeable, but nothing about jabs/sweep other than reducing the channel time by 0.1 seconds. Like that is going to fix anything.

    Oh btw, Total Dark us getting nerfed by 25%. Enjoy!

    Good luck playing in prime time vivec on console on a Templar. Jabs don’t even work

    Add in another:

    Sweeps dmg is mitigated by:

    3 Different CPs
    2 Different Set 5PCs (or more? idk didnt dig too much)
    2 Different Skills which are available to everyone

    Good luck killing a Heavy Amrored DW stamina player. In fact, you may even heal him due to a certain CP passive.
