CW Steal Time attack bug

edited September 2013 in NeverwinterPreview - Bug Reports
I don't know if it happens to other wizards out there, but my Steal Time attack (or whatever that's called in the english version) is buggy lately. From time to time (and usually at the worst of times), this area effect attack doesn't trigger. I see the animation of my avatar, but the expanding circle never appears and, of course, no damage is done to the surrounding mobs.

As of yet, I haven't been able to pinpoint a set pattern of actions that triggers this problem. It happens in about 1/20 use of this ability, on a wild estimation.

Hope this helps.

    I find that this bug happens when I use teleport.. Directly after i teleport into a mob of monsters is when it fails on me. which is the worst possible time. I don't know if this is the trigger or if it happens without using teleport. but in my experience it seems to happen directly after teleport.. The spell Time Steal doesn't cast.. animation goes off.. no damage though.. no effect.. and spell goes into cooldown...

    I've noticed this too. Definitely related to teleport. If someone could get a consistent reproduction I would love you forever, though it may be a client prediction/server lag thing which could prove tough.

    Ah hah! I wondered what was going on.. thought maybe this was the case of "you actually got stunned briefly so your power didn't really execute" or something. Wondered why Steal Time kept going off but not doing anything. I'll see if I can get reproducable steps tonight.

    I am glad someone brought this up. Now that I think about it, my first move on a mob pack is usually teleport>steal time and that’s when the bug happens. It doesnt happen all the time so I am doubtful that its reproducible.

    Before this thread, I was thinking a mob was doing something to cancel the effects.

    I consistently have issues with teleport then steal time. Attack doesnt happen, but the cool down starts.

    Press key that is bound to Steal Time during teleport or immediately after teleporting to desired location.

    Also, if you get knocked down/back, stunned/dazed/any CC during the 1 second cast time of the spell, it does not finish and goes on full cool down.
