Can't cast any skills when out of stam

kiheikat

Been noticing this bug a lot the last couple of weeks. I can't cast any skills when I run out of stam. This includes heavy attacks and mag or health-based skills.

I've seen this occur on DK Tank, Necro tank, and stam arcanist. A friend notices it regularly on his stamina arcanist when running coral and dumping stam.

We can fix the bug by standing completely still and not pressing any buttons, e.g. taking our hands off the controller for a few seconds. After a few seconds stam starts to regen and we can play normally. But if we try any controller inputs, it extends the wait time to begin recovering stam.

I've been getting it on my Mag DK and it's very frustrating

This bug is still occurring.

Here are a few interesting things I noticed that may help with identifying the cause, but i don't have mitigations.

I ran until my stam was completely drained. Standing still, I see my stam bar double flash. Sometimes the flash occurs every second, sometimes it takes several second (time varies but seconds before it flashes again. Every once in a while I see my stam bar recover 1.4k, then 1 second later it is at 2.9k. When my stam bar is filling, i do not see the bar flashing (like it does when i try to cast a skill that requires more stam than i have, but without the audio cue). Then 1 sec later it drops to zero and flashes.

I never recover enough stam to dodge roll, so can't use that to fix the issue.

If I try to use a stam pot, I hear the audio cue that indicates I've used a potion, but the potion counter does not decrement and my stam bar does not refill.

Traveling through a dungeon portal or to another instance causes my stam bar to refill at ~1.4k every sec until it is full. The stam bar does not flash.

Thus is bow 100% repeatable on my DK, but not on either of my tenplars. I can trigger this effect on my DK by draining my stam to zero.

I have logged out of the game and cleared my Xbox cache and I can this make this happen.

It’s been months if it’s the same one that happens changing sets in cyro
Easy fix tho just go mag zos?

Sure, blocking boss heavies in vDSR is overrated. Gives the healers something to do.

This is the same old "stam bug" back again. First time I saw it was around Greymoor. Basically if your stamina reduces to zero all your skills will then cost stamina and the only way to fix it is to roll dodge. This costs stamina though so you have to just wait til you have enough. Easy enough if you don't need to use any in the meantime...

I wonder if it’s related to other issues with the stam bar. Mine was flashing the other day to tell me I was out of stamina when I was standing in Vivec City with all resources bars full. It was particularly bizarre because I hadn’t been in combat at all or even used a skill since logging into the character, who is parked there for crafting. I might have sprinted to get to the city center from the horse trainer, but I’d been looking at CraftStore for the previous three minutes at least for what my characters needed for research. My stam bar had been full for most of that, then suddenly it was flashing for no reason. (On an arcanist, fwiw.) There were other people around, including some who were passing me, but nothing anyone else can cast nearby should be able to make my bar flash at 100% stam.

It also happens randomly in combat on my templar - the bar will flash when it’s 80-100% full (35k+ max). I’m not trying to roll dodge multiple times to raise the cost that high. In the middle of a Yaseyla pull it's hard to tell what skills actually end up going off, and beam has problems casting anyhow, so I have no way of going back to see if the flashing bar had more effect than just a weird UI glitch.

It also happened a few months ago on DK when I was tanking vAS. Since I was on double destro for EC, I had 8 magicka skills, 1 free skill, and 1 stam taunt. My stam bar often flashed when it was completely full and I was attempting to cast magicka skills.

It sounds like these issues are not all reproducible the same way, but I would find it difficult to imagine they're completely unrelated, since the stam bar is signalling we don't have enough stam for whatever it is we're trying to do, even if that's standing perfectly still not doing anything at all.

When this happens you can’t use magicka skills either. You can’t even repair doors on keeps. You have to stand there and wait for the stamina bar to completely refill or it will just drop again.

While I have often encountered the old stam bug, this one is different. I stood still for an hour and never recovered more than 2.9k stam.
