I have been playing this game off and on for about 4-year now. I had a CP1300+ on PC before the CP overhaul and now am 600+ on Xbox. I play mag sorc and use sets that buff heavy attack. I mostly heavy attack with a front bar lightning staff in pve like normal dungeons. Before this patch I could hold down the heavy attack trigger and as long as I was facing towards an enemy, even if my aim was slightly off, the heavy attack would start/continue. Now after the patch this seems very broken. Even if I'm in the middle of a heavy attack, facing the current target, and the enemy is not dead yet, sometimes heavy attacks just stop. I have to let go of the trigger and press it again and be exactly facing an enemy with the crosshair on them and then a new heavy attack will proceed. This is very broken and affects my DPS quite a bit. I have bad hands (physical problems) and I play this way because I'm older and cannot spam buttons for hours like younger people can probably do. So not being able to play the way I used to just a few short days ago means I can't really play the game at all anymore. I hope that someone at ZOS/Microsoft will see this and hopefully get lightning staff heavy attacks fixed. I am on a hardwired half-gig fiber internet connection so the problem is not network or internet related. This broke with the patch.

A second piece that changed as well is that if you do kill the target with a lightning staff heavy attack, you used to be able to keep the trigger held down and as long as you faced a new enemy/target in pve it would start a new heavy attack. This also seems at least sporadically broken as sometimes it works but probably no more than 50% of the time now. ZOS please fix both of these issues as these are major/core game mechanics that definitely broke at least on Xbox with the latest patch and players like me need it fixed fast or we can't play the game successfully any longer. If anyone else noticed this change for the worse please leave a comment here. Thank you.
