Guild Wars 2

Noticed this bug around 2 month ago, happened a couple of times today.

I can press any ability and it won´t work until I start moving again.
I can see my button presses in the skillbar but nothing happens, no matter what i press.

Can´t figure out what exactly is causing this.

Concerned this bug occurs in a tournament and my action won´t be registered .

I noticed that on my new female asura guardian from time to time after using
leap of faith. Never had that problem with my human and norn guardians.

I have had this off and on for awhile. If I move (even slightly) it seems to correct it.

Yeah .. just pressing W or S helps .. still mostly you just jump and start to press
1,2 or whatever .. and so you waste some seconds where you do nothing and
just eat damage.

It’s been a problem since the day the September feature pack was released and it was reported back then.

Skills I’ve seen it happen with:
Warrior greatsword ‘Rush’
Warrior mainhand sword ‘Savage Leap’
Guardian greatsword ‘Leap of Faith’
Guardian mainhand sword ‘Flashing Blade’
Ranger greatsword ‘Swoop’

The issue seems to be trying to activate another skill with a cast time and/or animation. For example: in the middle of running using Warrior greatsword ‘Rush’ you try to use bladetrail before the ‘Rush’ animation has completed. The ‘Rush’ skill finishes, bladetrail doesn’t activate, and you’re stuck not able to use any other skills at all, even your auto attack won’t work. The fix is, as posted, is to move your character slightly using the keyboard.

Edit: Forgot to add that I hardly see the issue anymore since I’ve learned to slow down and wait for the leap/charge animations to finish completely before trying to activate another skill with a charge time and/or animation. Skills that instantly activate, such as shouts, don’t seem to cause the problem.

So basically if you’re clicking skills too fast while using any kind of leap skill or charge skill your character gets stuck doing nothing once the skill finishes its animation. I only use a left mouse click to activate all skills so I don’t know if using the number keys to activate weapon skills would have the same affect.

I’d also like to throw this in: Warrior greatsword skill ‘Rush’ http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rush Notes: "Sometimes a player using this skill on a target will cause the player to run through the target and strike behind the creature, hitting nothing. " Yeah well it happens every time since the September feature pack, even on enemies standing still. It feels like RNG with a very rare chance that ‘Rush’ will actually hit the target. From what I’ve seen since playing this game, ‘Rush’ hasn’t worked right for a long time, but a couple months ago it got way worse.

So now i had this bug while i was stunned and i could not use Shadow return and died.

This has to be fixed. The advice to just move doesnt work when immobilized or stunned.

It happens on any class, last time i noticed it it was just after jumping.
