Possible game BUG reason that light attacks arent registering towards your damage on dummy parses?

Iam on PS4 NA. I know how to animation cancel, ive always been able to hit 80 to 85k parses on trial dummy. This patch i know damage is low but not being able to hit over 55k no matter what i do has me to the point i want to quit the game. Of course i have best in slot gear, cp etc all set up correctly but ever since dragonhold patch cant break 55k dps on trial dummt and 31k on skeleton. Ive heard other endgame players with same issue. Ping as low as 16mps internet speeds are high. Can it be an issue or bug in the game? If so what can i do to have it looked into? Thanks.

    Oh...he is PS4...sorry mate. Um...Yeah, you'll need to find someone to watch you parse. It is how I used to do it. Usually they can offer tips from things they see. As long as your CP and Gear are good, then someone with experience may be able to tell you what is going wrong. What class? and can you make a video to look at, then we can see what you do during the parse. Otherwise, I don't know what to say with so little information.

    Consoles do lack some basics, unfortunately.

    In the beginning PC did not have access to reasonably accurate information and it was considered a real issue since we could not tell if something was working as intended or broken. That still exists on consoles.

    I appreciate your response but Iam passed what iam doing wrong ive been playing this game too long to not know how to animation cancel and light attack which is why i mentioned my previous parses so we can get passed me not light attacking or animation cancelling correctly out the way. Ive experienced this issue with magcro and magplar so far. Iam using proven rotations, i know from experience that even on a subpar job with rotation and light attacking i should be able to break 60k. Ive heard this issue with la before as far as it not registering the damage. I know that light attack can make up 25% of your damage so i believe thats the issue but after so much practicing and experience i know its not me. Can it be a game bug? Is a game bug a known cause to have caused this issue? . If it has been i would like to have my issue looked into. Thanks.

    This may be a dumb question, but is there an option, in Settings > Combat to show outgoing damage in PS4? If so, then turn off everything that is not label "Outgoing Damage" and you should only see the direct damage done. Then you should be able to pick up whether your light attacks are hitting or not. If you don't see them number pop up for the light attacks, then yes, you have a problem that needs to be taken care of. If they are hitting and you see the text, then what you need to do is time your parse yourself. Start a stopwatch when you start your parse and stop it when you finish. Do some quick math, if what you get isn't near what ESO displays in the chat, then yes you have a problem that you need to report.

    Just quickly do these debugging methods to help narrow it down a bit.

    Thanks, i guess if it can happen on pc it can definitely happen on ps4. I never had this issue before and ive always parsed high so iam confident its not my error. Any known way to have tbis looked into by zos?

    Thanks. So you're saying its possible that the damage you are doing is not being displayed accurately in the chat for your parse? Is this a known issue that other players experienced?

    I have no idea what the problem is, but you have asked if there is a problem with light attacks being registered. I am saying that you can do a couple quick checks to see if there is an actual problem, which there may be. But now you've helped rule out/identify what is causing the problem, which is always a useful place to start.

    I play PC/NA, I have no idea what is happening on the PS4 side of things. This is just something I would do, if I thought something was going on.

    Cool thanks. Ill give this a try. I still wonder if a bug like this has impacted players before.
