Relentless/Grim Focus Icon greyed out PS4

Veinblood1965

Was playing last night just fine. Logged in today and the Skill Grim Focus which morphs into Relentless Focus or Merciless Resolve the Icon is greyed out and does not do anything. Normally when not active it is a red icon, It's got the same icon picture however it's all darkened out. I'm running it with Oakensoul. I've un-equiped the ring, went to the shrine and reset the morph to Merciless Resolve and still nothing. I put another skill Ambush in the same slot and Ambush works just fine in that slot. I've restarted my PS4 also.

The skill is just not working. I've been Relentless Focus for a long time now and know how it works so it's not user error.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Also I logged in three other toons today and on each one when logging in a LONG list of Achievement Completions popped up on the main screen. Old achievements that I've completed here and there. It took a minute or two for those to pop up and stop appearing. Not sure if that is related or not.

That skill become passive and always active. So you can only activate it once you have five stacks.

[*]Grim Focus:

• This ability and its morphs no longer need to be activated to generate stacks, as they will now generate stacks any time you meet their original requirements simply with the ability slotted on either bar.
• Increased the cost of the special activate to 1890, up from 1350, to make up for the fact that you no longer need to activate the buff portion of these abilities.
• These abilities now all use consistent naming and icons, rather than having separate names for the active versus stacking portions.
• Updated the tooltips to mention that fully charged Heavy Attacks grant double stacks.
• These abilities will now highlight on your ability bar when you are at full stacks, rather than becoming a different icon.

Oh well that's cool. So if I read this right it auto activates now and then we can fire it off like normal once it gets to five stacks? If so nice change btw and thanks. I'm at work right now but will try it out when I get home and see if it highlights once I get to five stacks.

The only weird thing is the icon on PS4 is grey with no color. It would be better if the icon looked like it used to then changed color or something once five stacks were achieved. The grey makes it look like an error of some sort.
