Guild Wars 2

I hoped that this would be fixed with each new patch/update, but it hasn’t and it’s becoming a real issue.

Basically, I have to stand still for a second or two before I can use any skill. I used to be able to run and use skills, but now I can’t, either by left clicking on them directly, or using the number pad. Is there a fix for this? I’ve pre-ordered HoT and I really don’t want to not be able to play properly when it comes out!

Still having this issue, can anyone assist me please?

I have no trouble using skills while moving. Which profession and which skills are affected? Have you checked your ping? If your latency is very high, your character might appear to pause while initiating skills even though the server still considers them to be moving.

There’s something weird going on with necro axe/focus skills. Something is causing their activation to cancel. It’s proving hard to reproduce on my client. Not sure exactly what the issue is

I’m playing as an ele, and it’s all skills. I have to pause for a second before I can use any skills. I will check my ping next time I play though, thanks for the tip!

Keep us posted with what you find.

You might try repairing your client — sometimes, if the gw2.dat file gets weirded out, it affects the smoothness of gameplay in unpredictable ways.

Played yesterday and today, it can’t be anything to do with the ping, as I’ve found out when I click the numbers on the row above the keyboard, I can use skills. I can’t using the side number pad, though. Definitely strange, and very annoying! I’ll try a repair now, hopefully that’ll help!

If you can use the numbers on the top row of keyboard but not on the keypad, then check to see if your numlock is on or off — it’s possible that whatever you are doing to start|stop running is activating or deactivating it.

I play using WASD and clicking on the skill using the mouse pointer, it’s always worked for me but now doesn’t. It’s terribly annoying

Something else is going on then; it’s working for me.

At this point, I recommend contacting support and working with them directly.
