So, there is a ton of complaints about being "1-shoted in PvP" Now it really isn't 1 attack but it feels like that because you die before you can even turn around or do anything and most of the time it's someone using a BOW.

So, I stumbled on this today and I am curious is this is working as intended or not?

Overriding abilities is the flaw. Using the BOW is the easiest to test and use it with simply because you can hold a Heavy Attack charged for close to 10 seconds, but you can do it with any weapon.

In most MMO's you need timing, which is why a lot of them have a Global Cooldown. Meaning you use an ability then then need to time when you use the next ability. If you click it too early nothing happens.

In ESO it seems not only is there no global cooldown but you can override abilities before the animation is finished and fire off 2 abilities at the same time. Since BOW is the easiest to do this with I will use that as the example (however, this works with any weapon)

If you hold a Heavy Attack on the bow and sneak around when something comes into range INSTEAD of releasing the mouse you click another ability, Silver Bolts for example, what happens is both the bows's heavy attack and Silver Bolts fire at the same time. The result is both attacks receive stealth critical damage on the target.

Now I have tested this and every single test on 3 combat logs show both abilities firing and both abilities receiving stealth critical damage.

So working as intended or major programming flaw? Again Bows is the easiest to test this with because of the ability to hold the Heavy Attack but it works with 2-Handed, Dual, etc every weapon.
