Its only one point so Im not respeccing but.. 1/2 and 2/2 soul lock both give 5% chance to soul trap from weapon kills? Same thing both ranks?

Im at level 5 soul magic(47, no molag bal finish yet) and Im hoping this is a bug.

    Not only this but I have never once seen it work with staff kills. It doesn't seem to consider staves to be "weapons".

    I have noticed this as well. So for now i have only one point into soul lock. I did put a bug report in about it but i think others have as well. Can only hope it gets fixed soon.

    Actually, it doesn't seem to recognize any weapons as weapons. Doesn't work at all.

    I cannot confirm if it works or not. I did put a point into it because it is nice to have but i just assumed it worked. That was my bad >.<

    I have this on three charactors and it seems to be converting my empty gems to full gems. Mind you, it only occurs on kills and does not seem to have an animation that I have noticed. You do have to keep empty soul gems in inventory of your level (Grand for PVP zone)

    Thank you for confirming this.

    Have had two soul gems of the correct level for the creatures/npc's I've been fighting and it's been days. Still not done a single thing.

    It's broken.

    I hit 5+ times with standard melee damage, several times per fight ,100+ times a night...

    You'd think it would work atleast once, nope... nada... bupkis ...nothing.

    If it only occurs on killing hits... it's broken.

    It does work. Ive gotten the error that I need a valid soul gem when Im out quite often.

    My question was related to both ranks saying the same thing.

    Note: you only get a message when you have no gems. You have to get the killing blow with a weapon. Cant say on staves but my bow works. Cant say on ww melee as I havent tried.

    This passive works as intended (although I'm not sure that having no animation on death is "as intended"). I've had 1/2 in this since a very low level and I can say FOR FACT it works, but it ONLY works if the killing blow is from your weapon. Also for those who don't understand RNG, 5% chance is EVERY time, not cumulative. That means it's entirely possible that out of 100 killing blows with your weapon that you won't fill a single gem, or you could fill 50. One way I know for sure it works is every once in a while I will see an error (might be because I have FTC) on my screen saying something to the effect "No appropriate Soul Gem to be filled" when I kill a mob.

    Yoy dont need ftc to see that error.

    Again, my issue is that both 1/2 AND 2/2 say 5%.
