Ground cast abilities not working most of the time
I'm on PC/EU
Most of the time during combat, ground cast abilities such as Healing Springs or Blazing Spear simply won't cast. The ability bar highlights the skill as if it has been cast, but no effect ever occurs.
I have tested this on multiple characters and classes and all seem to be having this same issue.
EDIT/UPDATE: It appears bar swapping during the heavy attack animation on restoration and lightning staves is causing this issue.

Wavek✭✭✭Try turning the auto cast option to ON so it only requires one button click to cast it, see if that makes it work. If so, it may be lag that is somehow causing the ability to misfire.0 -
I've already tried it with On, Off, and Automatic. Same issue each time. I've asked around my guilds and a lot of people are having this issue also.2

EBK✭✭I have noticed this also. I'm a healer and healing springs dont work half the time, it's great..5 -
Shanjijri✭✭✭✭What does Automatic? Mine is always to On, but when I've tried Automatic, it was same as Off. Or I did something wrong. : p0 -
Chims✭✭✭Mine is real bugged. I can't cast ground abilities for like 15 seconds and get stuck like I have a permanent snare on me causing me to slowdown and run to be broken2

AsNied✭✭✭I have the same issue. Reported there:

This is made by not full heavy attack from restoration staff (fe. if you hold attack a bit longer than LA). Don't know this is true for lighting staff as well.0 -

I did some sience/testing and here is what I found out - it is consistent and caused my lighting staff attacks that are neither a LA nor a HA1 -

I'm not sure about what abilities I used before it happened, but I experienced the same permanent snares on my character too. But I guess I'm having this same issue as well.

I just tried testing this and am able to reproduce the bug with the resto and lightning staves.
The only way to fix the issue is by swapping back to the bar you swapped from and completing a fully charged heavy attack. Dodge rolling also seems to fix it.1 -

✭I hope this gets fixed in a timely manner. Seems there's lots of buggy skills right now.2 -

✭✭Another expansion with a plethora of bugs because zos doesn’t know how to manange a game? Imagine my surprise0 -
Mercanis✭✭Also having this problem. It also seems to make me run really slowly after I come out of combat, and I can't reach normal speed despite dodge rolls, sprinting etc0

Trinity_Is_My_Name✭✭✭✭✭
✭It is a very big issue. I have it on any character that uses Ground Cast abilities. ZOS, get on this!!! This is unacceptable!2 -

Yes, exactly that problem. Never had it before Elsweyr. Everything else works, only the Lightning Flood refuses to be cast more often than not. Sometimes the destro staff ultimate also skips at random. Horribly frustrating.Edited by Kainarel on May 25, 2019 4:08PM0 -
Mercanis✭✭Is there any update on this? Making the game quite unpleasant to play
Has anyone found anything that helps? 2 -

Finish the heavy attack with the staff that bugged out. Casting a single target spell (with that bugged staff) might work, too.

When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle
Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter
... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws1 -

✭✭This has been happening to Atronach for several patches. Looks like it's spread to other targeted ground AoEs now, too...PC/NA — Daggerfall Covenant — BGs, Kaalgrontiid

Kalaron Caemor — Altmer Magsorc
Kalahad Cirith — Dunmer Magden0 -
Vinterskald✭✭✭Yeah, same issue here. Cost my poor team members their death a couple times because I was so thrown off by healing springs never triggering Healing springs, liquid lightning, luminous shards, elemental rage... all of these keep having problems. Barra agea ry sou karan.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭It’s happening to me a lot, it seems to be sending a system message that “the target is out of range” even if I’m attempting to cast literally at my feet.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche1 -
Coldforge✭✭✭I should add that the way to "fix" it temporarily is to roll dodge; that seems to clear it until the next time it happens.
You can confirm the bug is occuring if you're unable to put away your weapon.1 -
Maxime✭✭Btw it is not a templar-only related problem, I have noticed it on the necromancer and warden as well.0
