Cannot get 'Reckoning' to work

Age of Conan General Discussion
#1

I am something of an ‘Altoholic’ and enjoy getting to learn how to play various classes, currently I am using an old guardian character.

The issue I am experiencing is that I cannot seem to get Reckoning to activate after using Flashing Arc (The character is not high enough to have the other combo skills yet).
Even though I am immediately activating Reckoning after Flashing Arc, I keep getting a message up saying that I must have reckoning running!
This has left me somewhat confused, could someone please tell what I am doing wrong or have missed?
Do the precursor skills have to be at a minimum level, i.e. need a two key activation? Really grasping at straws here.

Many thanks,

I don’t know what the issue with Reckoning is exactly, but it doesn’t work sometimes. Usually, spamming the hotkey does the trick.

#3

dumb question, but are u making sure to finish the whole combo-sequence of flashing arc finish before you use reckoning? I never had this issue so thats why im wondering.

#4

I have never noticed this bug when tanking with s&s and cw, but with polearm in PvP it happens quite often. Impale is another ability that bugs out sometimes.

#5

Thank you all for the replies and suggestion.
I have tried both allowing the combo to complete and during the combo as I wondered if that was where I was going wrong. Also, I was trying to get it to work with a polearm, so when next in game I will experiment with S&B to see if that has any effect.

Well, back to the drawing board as it were. :grinning:

Cheers.

Reckning comes active at the last hit of the comboanimation, will never come active before

#7

Thanks Moriala, unfortunately it is not activating after my one keystroke version of Flashing Arc. Also I currently have only that skill that which should interact with Reckoning and nothing so far with the S&B combos.

You can’t use reckoning with s+b unless you have the counterweight AA. Are you actually trying to use the skill or just watching for it to highlight? The highlight doesn’t always happen, and sometimes it takes a second or 2 after combo finish to be usable.

#9

are you sure aren’t self-targetting yourself somehow?

you’re sure you have the target you finished the combo on in target as you click reckoning?

#10

Oh yea. You have to have the target and it has to be within a pretty short distance to you and in front of you to go off.

You get Reckonning with multi-step Flashing Arc (have to do 2, including final step of combo correctly). It has extremely fast timer to activate, definitely use hotkey and spam it to activate.
