    Inside these catacombs is the first time I experienced these issues.

    First off, I use first person view primarily. And in this instance, it is part of this bug.

    I use the fire arrow spell alot. In the catacombs when I am in first person view and casting the firearrow spell the spell goes right to the floor as though I am aiming at the floor, even when I have an enemy targeted.

    In one of the room I encounted a wizard. He stood there throwing fire arrows at the ground repeatedly. I came to realize he was aggroed on me and was trying to nuke me. I tried to cast fire arrow on him and I did the same thing, only thing is, I cannot see it happen since Im in first person, nor am I even hearing the sound effect.

    Now here is where it gets weird. I changed to third person view, because I had a hunch. Sure enough the fire arrow spell started working. I changed back to first person view, it was still working. I killed the wizard, but I had more enemies than him to deal with. When I began to cast fire arrows at my next target... bugged again. I changed to third person view and then I was able to use the spell as intended.

    There is more. While I was also in first person view and these enemies were approaching me, attacking me, no combat appeared to be taking place. The moment I changed views I got a spam of damage numbers and health bars took big drops for me and the enemies. I finished the battle in 3rd person view then left the area to make this report.

    I should note that, other attack spells I was using in first person seemed to not be affected the same way as the fire arrow spell, that is, once I had changed views and back again while still on the same target. Changing targets would reset the bug.

    I will now leave the catacombs, and log out. Come back and try again to see if the bug repeats.

    Oh yeah, heres this:
