Class: Sith Inquisitor Advanced Class: Sith Assassin Abilities Affected: Discharge; Dark Charge Items Effected: Cartel Market Lightsabers As of the latest patch, the animation for the Discharge ability is still bugged. When used while Dark Charge is active, the animation only shows for one attacked target, not all targets that take damage as it should normally do. Also, when a lightsaber from the Cartel Market is equipped, no visual animation is displayed at all when using the Discharge ability while Dark Charge is active, though all attacked enemies still take damage. I have tested this with both the Over-Charged Conqueror's Sabertsaff and the Energized Conqueror's Saberstaff. Both had the same result of never showing the Discharge animation when it is used while Dark Charge is active. This is particularly irksome as these are premium items many people have to spend extra money or Cartel Coins on in order to get. I am sure that myself and the rest of the Assassin community would greatly appreciate any type of feedback regarding a resolution of this issue. Thank you very much!

Come on Bioware...seriously? You respond within minutes to the "OMG WTFBBQ one hair color is not perfect on the new race!!!" bug threads and fix it, buy you refuse to even acknowledge a big that has been around since 1.3? Can you at least let us know if a fix is even on the works?

I just posted in the bug report forum about the Cartel Market Saber animation issue, which I think is linked to the general animation issue. Post is here: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=656457

Bug found on 7-1-2013 on my Sith Assassin. I equipped the Energized Conquerors Sabersatff, which is purchased form the Cartel Market and is noted in game as being a Cartel Market Item. When I have it equipped and I use my Discharge ability, it does the display the graphic and animation for the ability at all, which us supposed to be lightning bolts flying out to the multiple targets that you hit with the ability while Dark Charge is active. I also tried it with Lightning Charge active and I encountered the same problem. This is a very annoying, as it is now very hard to gauge which enemies have been hit and/or debuffed, as this ability is a cornerstone of any Assassin rotation. I also logged onto my Jedi Shadow and equipped the Over-Charged Conquerors Saberstaff (from the Cartel Market) and used Force Breach (the Shadow version of Discharge), and the animation played fine, so it appears to be an Assassin only issue. you could please look into fixing this, I am sure that myself and the rest of the Assassin community would be most grateful! Thank you for your time and hard work!

This bug is really annoying, and even more so if you use a Lightsaber bought on the Cartel Market. When you do, the animation does not even display at all for any of the targets, all you see is your character swing the LS back, and you see the damage numbers and get a small effect on the target that looks like they are covered in lightning for half a second. I am really surprised this has not been addressed yet.
