Heavy attacks and Heavy Attacking + Standard of might

JohnOfMarkarth · September 2020

1) Channeled heavy attacks like lightning and resto staff vastly outdamage their "cast time" counterparts that load then fire once. And I mean 2.(some math number) times more dmg kind of outperform (When accounting for channel time length). Please consider making all heavy attacks channels. Turning heavy attacks by 2h into something like what The Warrior in Hell Ra Citadel (hell yea... i know. bad puns) does when he says "death by a thousand cuts", and dual wield HA into something similar. Bow heavy attack could hardly make logical sense this way so perhaps increase the damage a bit.

2) Heavy Attacking while in your own Standard of Might is a mess (tested with DW, 2H and all destro staves).

When you try casting it... it, by itself stops the animation and does light-medium attack instead. Sometimes the heavy attack is skipped entirely. Sometimes it fires. Sometimes it goes quarter way before it self-interrupts and, due to still holding heavy attack button... tries to perform heavy attack again only to fail again and restarting the cycle

ATM standard of might + heavy attack is broken. And by that i dont mean OP... it wont work

The issue you are describing is PTS lag and happens even outside of Standard of Might. I wanted to test something with Frost Heavy attacks on a MagWarden and couldn't fire one single fully-charged heavy attack.

The only solution is to test outside of evenings and weekends.

didnt have any issues outside standard. On my end all heavy attacks went like room temperature butter on a freshly baked bread in a warm spring morning... until i dropped standard of might on em and the butter went solid and the bread soft so it broke the bread

I experienced the same issue with heavy attacks inside the standard of might. Outside, everything works fine. Inside, broken.

Can confirm, Sometimes with a staff heavy attack with staff inside Standard of Might will double whip, 2 GCD, instead of weaving the heavy attack even though I have to wait for the heavy attack to channel.
