gap closer is completely bugged

Zombbus

topic says everythin neither DK nor stamsork not possible to do charge or leap.
i tryied it on BGs in IC in Cyro no way, and it came with a stonethorn.
i did tests, removed unleashed terror - things work. put it back on - cant do charge or leap. stay old gear with vMA gun - charge works.
same things in any of pvp areas, im blaming Terror set , revise your code please or whatever
thank you.

There is a couple of threads about this issue already, but I feel like it's not getting enough attention from the devs.
This bug makes entire builds completely unplayable.
I was looking forward to playing a heavy attack stamplar build after they buffed UI, but this bug makes the build completely worthless.
Worst part is you really can't tell when you will zone in somewhere and get the bug or not.
Someone on reddit suggested to unslot the gapcloser before zoning in, and then slotting it, but this method did not work for me, and even if it did, it wouldn't be much help in for example IC.

The bug is caused by the "Chain Pull Range Suppression" effect which causes all gap closing abilities to have no range (this goes for ultimates such as DK leap too). In Imperial City you get affected by this effect everytime you transfer between zones. In battlegrounds you´re affected by something similar before the match begins. Note that this bug can´t be fixed by reloading UI or relogging. You can work around the issue however and here is what you need to do:

1. Make sure to remove the skill/gap closer from your bar before you enter Imperial City or a battleground, and have it remain unslotted while you´re in the "safe areas" (where you have the Chain Pull Range Suppression effect on you). Another thing I´ve noticed is that you shouldn´t let the skilline where the gapcloser is, be the last skilline you looked at before entering these areas. So if I want to be able to use Toppling Charge, the aedric spear skilline can´t be the last skilline I opened up before entering the "safe area".

2. Now make sure to leave the "safe area" before re-slotting your gapcloser. In battlegrounds you will only have to do this process once since the "chain pull range suppression" only exists before the game starts but not while it´s in progress.

Oh okay so thats how you fix it.
Not gonna lie that's a ton of work.
Last few patches now, they have introduced some absolutely game breaking bugs every time. I don't even know how they could mess gapclosers up.
On top of that ppl using bolt escape rubber and like crazy, making them untargetable.
@Qbiken thanks for clarifyling the "fix".
At least I might be able to play my build during the ic event.
