Skills working less than 50% of the time.

Nope, I'm not exaggerating. In fact, if anything, that's a generous estimate. Since the latest patch most skills will not work. No animation, nothing. It takes 3-5 depresses of the appropriate key to get them to go off... and even then it's not a guarantee. Sometimes, the mana/stam charge will be removed but nothing happens. Sometimes, the mana/stam charge will be removed, the animation will play, but nothing happens. Sometimes the skill fires... but doesn't apply appropriately according to it's tool tip.

On top of that, my character values fluctuate wildly all over the place depending on which passives are bugging out at any given moment...

Happens to me all the time, but I play a nightblade.......:( Insane amount of unnecessary deaths because of it. Wish I could send ZoS my repair bill.....lol My WW is another story too. Can't tell you how many times I have transformed only to see my Khajiit using WW skills, but still in cat form..........go figure. I hope they address this soon. Vet zones are killing me......literally.

I have been having a horrible time with this too. In particular my Magnus shot. My other skills work just fine, but MS seems bugged out a lot. I thought it might be from me assigning it to my middle mouse button, I wanted to test this after work, so I can give a valid bug report.

Yeah, I'm a NB too. It's completely f****d.

Volcanic rune... Summon Atronach... Soul tether...
I think its lags

I've lost count of the number of deaths on my Sorc because I'm spamming the Q button to use a health pod, only to have the game laugh in my face!

When I initiate combat, a lot of my skills take one keypress to turn my character in the right direction and then another to actually fire.

Then the system seems to be polling keypresses at a long interval and will often 'miss' a rapid keypress. I have to deliberately hold it down until the system recognises it.

Nightblade here. I used ranged and "try" to used volcanic rune to do crowd control..

I would say it works maybe 1 in 10 times if I start trying to do frantic mouse clicks - In Cyrodill its worst cos Im so stressed in combat moments.

I think the game gets confused cos I shoot-shoot-shoot one minute - frantic mouse clicking just to get the shot in and the game says : "Right you asked for 3 shots there so even if you don't get them you still wont get your Volcanic rune until the time those shots would have taken is over"

I think the game needs to realise that sometimes we are franticly trying to get something done - especially when we spam to be right on the button when the timer comes up, but that we dont actually need all the mouse clicks and button presses we just did to stack up.

It happens to me also, the way around it i found was to press "." twice (default key) which shows your mouse cursor then displays the arrow again for you to be able to use your abilities.

Haven't had any problems, but then I only use 2 last skills of 1h/sh and 2 and 3 of my templar healing line

ditto...
my Templar often gets 'stuck' in combat...

can't cast spells, can't melee, can't change weapon, no potions, etc etc etc...

why?

casting some spells with no valid target cause combat system to freeze...

sadly this occurs easily if you move, mob moves, someone pulls mob,
someone crosses path, mob teleports, etc etc etc ....

only fix: ESC

i can ESC twice and all is back to normal...

HOWEVER, this is a very common problem, happens WAY to often...
has gotten me killed many times!
(note: issue also infest player with 'nerdrage' and 'cussalotitis')
