Just wanted to add that this is happening to me and my wife constantly at the moment. It has happened on and off for a while but has got a lot worse since the Edge of the Mists update. It can happen at any time and I am sure it doesn’t always correspond to failing looting although I am sure that will sometimes be the case. It seems to happen for us a lot during champion fights for some reason with no interractions/looting happening at the time. Suddenly the skills bar just starts flashing any skill we have tried to activate and that’s game over for that fight. The last time it happened about 30 minutes or so ago trying to get the champions in the vault waypoint, I shut down the client and restarted it with the intention of going back in to go after the champions again. I decided to try attacking a moa before I went in to make sure that the skills would work and spent a couple of minutes standing infront of it with the entire skill bar flashing away with not a single skill being activated. All I had done in this instance had been to log in, select the moa and try use skill 1 on it (followed by the rest of them just so I could watch the pretty flashing bar at the bottom when I realised that nothing was happening) so there was no interaction with anything else at all before the bar failed.
Any news on a fix for this at all?
