Guild Wars 2

I’;ve only really noticed this happening in PvP, I’m not sure if it’s lag-related or not, but sometimes I’ll activate a skill using my keyboard, I’ll see the relevant icon on my skillbar get “depressed” (you know, the brief little shading effect that shows you it’s been clicked), but nothing will happen – my character won’t go through the casting animation, and the skill won’t activate. I’m definite I wasn’t stunned/dazed/interrupted because the skill doesn’t go on cooldown, in fact nothing is on cooldown so I know I’m not disabled in any way.

It’s not the typical long activation lag I’ll sometimes get (mostly in wvw), where the skill icon STAYS depressed but nothing happens for long seconds at a time, this is much briefer, but I’ve often gotten killed because of it.
It’s really frustrating because I’m not sure what’s causing it. Fairly sure it’s not my keyboard cause I see the skill icon registering that it’s been clicked, I don’t think it’s a client issue for the same reason, so is it lag or some sort of game bug, or just my connection?

ALL THE TIME. This is the biggest reason I don’t play anything that’s glassy. Just can’t count on things happening correctly when I need them too.

I’ve noticed it occurring a lot for me lately myself (like the last couple of weeks), and it is quite annoying. There is a lot of times where I will use a skill at the end of a dodge, only to find that it didn’t activate like it normally used to. In particular, I find myself having to mash the heal button multiple times to get it to go off.
