Arx Corinium - Can't use targeted skills in first area

SeaGtGruff

I recently ran into the problem where targeted skills cannot be used-- they are greyed out-- which some players have reported in Imperial City. In my case, it was in the first area of Arx Corinium, where there are several lamia, serpents, and a couple of lurchers. I could use AoE skills to attack, but single-target skills were greyed out and could not be used, even if I were face-to-face with an enemy. The sounds were also missing from attacks.

It happened to me on PC EU, but when I entered the second area-- where you go through a short corridor and encounter three lamia before proceeding deeper into the dungeon-- everything started working normally again. At first I thought it was just a temporary positional desync of some kind, except in the first area I was still able to interact with the corpses to loot them, and could interact with treasure chests to pick the locks and loot them. Then I ran Arx Corinium on PC NA and experienced the exact same situation-- AoE attacks could be used (but were silent), whereas single-target skills were greyed out and unusable, yet I could loot corpses and interact with treasure chests, and everything went back to normal as soon as I went through the doorway/corridor to go deeper into the dungeon.

Has anyone else encountered this issue in Arx Corinium? I expect to be running the dungeon a few more times this month for the Golden Pursuits and will report back with any additional details, but was curious if it's just me or is happening to others.

Yes, I went on a tanking spree yesterday to get the golden pursuits done and on the first visit to Arx Corinium, some skills were greyed out, such as I couldn't pull the enemies with my DK chain. I stood around like a useless lump on a log and ran in circles. At some point before the first boss, everything started working.

Actually I think this might be what happened to me that I just posted a discussion about. The first time it happened for me, it was in there. The second time, it was in Deshaan, just in the open world.

I have experienced this issue twice while trying to do Golden Pusuit. It is really embarrassing to join a group and have this happen

I suspect more randomness to it than Arx. I soloed Arx 3 times in the past few days with no problems. I did however run into a similar problem while soloing the final boss in Darkshade Caverns. My targeted spells were grayed out and my area spells simply would not cast. Heavy attacks would not work. I ended up taking a very long time to kill the boss using lightning staff light attacks and being ready to drink a potion if needed. When I left the dungeon, I logged out, back in and killed a WB with no such problems.
