Did you receive a message in the upper right corner about the enemy being too powerful for that effect? Some PVE enemies cannot be pulled. I am not sure what the possible explanation would be for other players in Cyrodiil not being affected by it.

Haha, 50% of the threads in this category just mentioned the flawed description of the Silver Leash, but yet another thread had to be made

The pull only affects undead/daedra. A good indication is that if the silver bolts "knocks down" an opponent, they can then be pulled as well.

I am pretty sure Silver Bolts has knocked down plenty of garden variety enemies that were not of the Undead or Daedra variety. I don't think I have been able to knock down a boss with it, though. If that happened, I don't remember. Personally, I prefer the Silver Shards morph as it allows me to hit three targets at once while maintaining some distance from me. The more distance I can keep between a group of three or more, the greater the likelihood I will survive the fight.

I was shooting harpies with shards in Beta, so I'd err on the side of plausible unless it was changed.

For the shards morph of silver bolts It doesn't matter what you shoot whether it be deadra, undead, random animals, or humans etc.. You'll still get the triple shot. The only thing that kinda puts me off (dont get me wrong I love the skill and its saved me numerous times) is that when facing undead/daedra Silver Shards only knocks down the targeted mob where as the other two that get hit keep comin at ya.

Silver Leash is complete trash. It's only useful for fighting Vampires/WWs in PVP or if you are a non-DK tank in a group dungeon filled with undead/daedra.

And even then its utility is limited. You also have to pay the same stamina cost again when you activate the pull, for the same damage. So there's no DPS gain at all from the morph.

Bottom line, pick Silver Shards.

I like the leash because Templar tanks don't have any other ability to pull targets to them.
