Guild Wars 2

After the update, I’ve had a regular bug where my weapons lock so I can’t do weapon-switch, not even out of combat. I don’t know what triggers this bug as I can’t be sure I noticed it right as it happened (not being able to switch constantly due to the cd on swap).
It can sometimes be solved by manually switching in [H] equipment option, but most of the time, the only way I can get weapon-switch to work again is by dying.

It is a bug that has been around longer than just the patch. It’s been an issue for months.

Going into Hero and swapping there has always fixed it for me, unless you are getting skill lock, where no weapon skills work at all. Then you have to be feared/stunned/dazed/downed/die, or use an instrument, (or a consumable weapon in pve)

Ok, i didn’t know it had been around before patch as I only encountered it after.
I’ve had both the skill lock and the weapon lock in a few days, so I thought they were the same thing just different degrees of severity.

If it has been around for a while, are there any guesses to what starts it?

Picking up a conjure weapon at the same time someone else does, or as it vanishes, or an enemies (in wvw for example) will do it, same with some found on the ground in pve. Other times, not sure at all.

Also switching just as a cutscene starts.
