Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen this topic before, but haven’t seen anything recently.

Is this something I can fix client side OTHER THAN exiting to desktop and relaunching?

It happens once or twice a week, so it is not game-killing, but if there’s a trick short of exiting the client I’d love to know.

I play mostly arcane classes (Ele and Necro primarily, a splash of Mesmer, and once in a full moon, a thief). It happens all over the place (no specific region or map), and again – not frequently.

Most people hit F12 and go to Character select, then hit spacebar to get back in fast. You just need to wait for the loading screen again, as opposed to exiting the client entirely. Beyond that, there’s not really any kind of trick to exit combat mode, apart from increasing the distance from any objects you have taken/administered damage from/to (and with good reason; WvW and most PvE content would be trivial if you could waypoint whenever you wanted).
