Skills not firing drain stamina bar

kur0gan3 · March 2020

If a similar discussion has been already going on, I apologize but couldn't find it (also didn't really know how to search for it).
I'm playing on EU pc server, and had this problem also on overland and delves (not in dungeon so far). The toon (magicka templar) cannot fires any skill, and any button I press goes on the stamina bar and drains it, as if the toon was blocking the enemies attacks. Even with the magicka bar full, it doesn't do a thing. If I move away, then it begins to fire the skills again normally. Sometimes it also get stuck with the staff onward as if it was doing a light attack. Does anyone went through same troubles?

I moved on pc from ps4, this is the first time for me seeing this bug. I don't really know what triggers this bug, but must be something stamina-related. I was in a dungeon, had to dodge a bit and went near 0% stamina during a bossfight, and couldn't fire a single skill, even though magicka bar was full. As the stamina bar started to fill, I tried to use some skill but it was like I was using stamina skills 'cause the bar went to 0% again. Any time I tried to use a magicka skill, the stamina was used instead. @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BillE that's a real pain, because when it happens on the overland, during a world boss-fight or a delve, that doesn't matter, but while in a dungeon/trial/arena maybe trying to do some achievement, well...that's not good, at all. Say anything about it?

Same problem here, pc eu server and using a controller. I've tried to investigate this phenomenon in every aspect and went to the conclusion that the pad could be the reson. To me it happens after I run on my magicka toon and the stamina bar reaches zero, or near zero %. Then I thought it could be some stamina related issue while the toon was in combat, but it seems that after you run for a while the running kinda gets stuck and it's as if you're still running even if you're not. That's why the stamina bar drains out and skills cannot be casted. Last time it occurred, I pressed the analogic a couple of times and it worked to solve the issue. I'm not 100% sure of it, but still worth a try. Still, this is a major problem, 'cause mainly I'm tank too and not being able to taunt is really a pain.

I quote myself from another discussion. The guy I replied to gave me a clue when specified that he's playing with a gamepad. Maybe this problem occurr even with keyboard, dunno, but me and other friends that I know play eso on pc with gamepad have the same exact issue. Seems that the mistery could be solved.

Dont' worry, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with a gamepad if the issue you are referring to is something similar to this (PC with keyboard):

Ah ok thanks m8. I thought it could be something related to how the game sees the connection with the pad. But still seems to me that the problem origins when the toon sprints and it kinda get stuck into sprinting even if it moves normally. Up until now the issue was always after a few seconds of sprinting with my magplar when stamina reach near 0%. Last time it happened, I tried sprinting after it started to not casting skills, and it solved the issue. Still, this game is a bowlful of bugs.
