I used to like to scout in WvW before the participation changes.
Also a Skritt-like hoarder of shinies.
[Like many other people] I have logged in to some of my chars and found some of my skills unequipped (Mortar Kit, “Feel The Burn”, “We Heal as One!”, “Rise!”, Well of Action), like when they get updated.
This seems to be a common occurrence.
On a potentially related bug note:
I recently switched back to my staff on my Druid, and got the message saying I had learnt 3 skills, like when you first equip the weapon, except I had previously used staff, and should already know them.
The 5 skill (Sublime Conversion) remained locked and greyed out, with ‘0% Complete’ written when I hovered over it.
(See the attached screenshot.)
I was lvl 80 and a Druid, so I should have had all 5 skills, but it remained locked.
My PC froze half a few minutes later, forcing a restart, and when I logged back in I had the skill again as per usual.
(I did a -repair with the GW2 client the day before this, and a freeze is very unusual, so I wonder if the crash was bug related?)
Just logged back in after the patch and had only Staff skill 5 (Sublime conversion) – the one I was missing last time.
It did at least sort itself out after a minute or two though, and I then had all 5 skills as I should.
Considering I was in combat not having AA did prove somewhat problematic…
Skills are disapperaring from my skillbar from time to time, which is incredibly annoying. Makes me question the current devs on this game, since they seem to introduce new AND old bugs to the game every single update.
Feels like the quality is going down.
Likewise I have characters with skills missing on login. I just put them back and carry on but it’s disconcerting to say the least.
I wondered if skills are being worked on behind the scenes. Maybe it’s gremlins.

While not related to the staff skills bug, I did notice something that might shed some light on the utilities becoming unequipped.
It wasn’t listed in the patch notes but utility, heal, and elite skills now have a static position on the skill selection tab. No more skills rearranging based on what skill is currently equipped. It’s super nice.
What I think might be happening is this ordering required adding a tag or ID to associate a skill with it’s slot but this tag overwrote the previous tag. So when you log in, “equipped heal skill = a invalid value” and it is just set to null/ no skill equipped. Then you equip a skill and the value works.

Hmm, weird. Not sure with other professions but for me, a mesmer, skills have stopped reordering randomly since HoT was launched, it has appeared always in the same position since then.
On topic, on Tuesday it happened to me. When I logged in my Utility Skill #1 was blank and blinking, then I just reselected it and it worked normally, but weird anyway.
