Guild Wars 2

So i’m running around with my low level ele, i have all the staff skills unlocked, except the ones in water attunement. I have Ice Spike unlocked, yet i can’t cast it. i try clicking 2, and even clicking on the skill with my mouse, yet nothing happens. i don’t have any other skill after Ice Spike unlocked in this attunement.
Is this a known bug? or is there a way to fix it?

I had a friend run into a similar issue the other night. It looks unlocked, but the game doesn’t actually think it’s unlocked.

Go kill enough things that you’d unlock it, and it should unlock for you. Assuming this is the same issue, of course….

It may not be 100% unlocked yet. It could appear to be unlocked and still require 1 more kill to have access to it, don’t ask me why. If you try that and it doesn’t work, post a reply and perhaps someone else can help you.

yeah that helped thanks! =)
Really weird because it was working yesterday hehe, but now it works, thanks =)

weapon skill unlocks bug out pretty often, yeah

One time my level 80 thief completely un-unlocked Cloak and Dagger (darkened, 0% unlocked), and I was in a fractal where killing things didn’t actually count as killing things, so I had to leave the fractal, leave lion’s arch, go to a nearby field and kill something before I could go back to lion’s arch and back to the fractal with all of my weapon skills

The C&D un-unlocking was caused by the recent patch (damage nerf), the devs probably changed the ability in the way that it counts as a new ability (or reset the ability status due to some issues they probably had while testing the patch).
