There does not appear to be a difference between Searing Claw III and Searing Claw IV.

    Just to follow up, we have a bug in for this and are working on a fix. There is an issue where this ability is not gaining the increases it should when increased past Rank I.

    Thanks for the update! Sorry I didn't respond sooner, was checking other abilities.

    No worries! Just covering our bases with platform info since today's launch was on all platforms.

    We got some additional context on this. We made some back-end changes that resulted in this ability receiving max strength of the rank up progression at all ranks. What that means is this ability currently doesn't have the intended effective rank up progression. We'll look into adding some in the future, which will result in a very gentle buff for this ability (which was already buffed up with Update 49.)

    Maybe part of the same bug or different bug?

    In my Skills menu on my DK I have Searing Claw IV, but it shows a lock icon. If I respec skills I can unmorph it, which changes it to Searing Strike IV which is a mag skill. If I unmorph, to Searing Strike, I don't get an option to morph the skill.

    XBox NA platform.

    Gina confirmed a similar-sounding bug here: https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/1rp5uvq/burning_embers_locked/

    Edited: it seems there are two issues with morphing skills. Does Gina’s workaround work for Searing Strike?

    I’m wondering if it needs to be reset and then xp applied to get it to morph properly.

    Read through the thread and that is the same bug Im seeing. Not in game right now, but I *think* the skill was fully leveled. I've always backed out without saving since I'm not yet willing to risk getting stuck.
