Unable to change utilities out of combat
Sometimes, the game doesn’t realise you’re out of combat, especially when you hit or got hit by a mob, but then rushed past it without actually killing it. Killing something usually solves this issue.
Or, since you seem to be a ghost, maybe that’s what tricked the game into thinking you were still in combat.

it’s the current bug since last patch

it happens mostly when u transform (AC p3, Ascalon fractal)
The only way to change skills is to relog to the map outside, change skills, then go back in.

I first noticed this in the Thaumanova fractal. Most irritating that it doesn’t recognise that I’m out of combat and can’t change over utilities.

Not luck and credit cards.”
It is a transform bug that hit with the September patch. Basically whenever you are transformed you can’t change your skills. Unfortunately, this affects times when the game transforms you as well (Ascalon fractal, AC p3, Therma fractal, etc.). I haven’t tried the workaround that the other person suggested (exit instance then return), but unfortunately in fractals that will lead to your death (exploit prevention). :-(
