Does anyone else get an issue with skills not firing?

I notice it in PvE when using a companion, feels like game gives priority to companion skills before mine fire.

Hmmm ... not beyond the realm of possibility.

I have similar issues on my bow warden. Skills now often grey out with no clear reason, I have to press sklills multiple times before they fire, all very annoying. It wasn't like this before. I hope it will get fixed!

Greyed out or reduced colour?

Reduced colour is for skills that require a target.
Greyed out means the skill was a cast/channel and was interuppted.
Radial/Fill animation is the global cooldown.

Presuming you aren't using an addon that changes that default behaviour.

I have certainly dealt with this and lately it's making me want to stop playing until the revert or address the animation memory changes. Mementos break my characters at the arms and legs, skills don't fire so I'm hitting the same buttons multiple times before they work, and I've gotten nuked by multiple overland enemies just because break free is only working half the time now.

Sounds like PvE needs Vengeance.

No add-ons. Some skills get dark for a while even if I'm targeting an enemy. I have an important skill slotted for my RB (I play PC with an Xbox controller) and that one is being particularly difficult. Even thoug it is lit up I have to press 3 or 4 times before anything happens at all. It wasn't like this until very recently.

Blazing Spear is awesome. I have the ground target setting as instant (does anyone actually use the default setting?) Sometimes it flies off immediately, other times you see the yellow target circle for 2-3 seconds while your character does nothing and then maybe after those 2-3 seconds it decides yeah sure I'll throw the spear.

Tentacles are also sometimes not firing, which makes you beam with 2 crux way too often. If the beam actually starts, that is. I think all this started in U47.

Sounds like a targetting or range issue. The game is either not recognising you have a target or thinks you are out of range.

As for the RB skill, just to eliminate the possibility try a re-bind to another button and see if it improves. Could be a mechanical issue on the button.

Still not understanding what a server calc issue is I see.

Would like to see how Player/Companion cooldowns are used, seems like the cooldowns are shared not separate, would explain player skill delays after companion fires skill.
In other words, a companion is just an extension of player, like a weapon or skill not a separate entity.

Also, the client/ server desync for target position has become more of an issue since it seems since the hit boxes were tightened up.

Your mount can fail to swim through oil/ink if you have a companion out, so nothing would surprise me.

Edit1: Just recorded and analysed a combat log. Companion skills don't appear to be interfering. Casts of companion/my skills are within less than 0.5s on several occassions.

Edit2: Companions don't seem to have GCD on skills.

Edit3: If you move too far, or to a hard to path area for the companion, the companion will "jump" to you. It's basically a shortened summon AND it triggers the GCD.
