Petrify(fossilize/shattering rocks) - greyed out --- help?!?!

So I was playing on my DK today and wanted to duel my friends for some fun.

After one duel fossilize becomes greyed out and cannot be used. /reloadui did not work. Leaving and coming back works... BUT.... after one duel it is greyed out again.

Anyone have a fix for this?! Apparently @Nyce, a playstation player, discovered a fix for when leap gets greyed out in Imperial City... but in duels, cyrodiil, and Battlegrounds, how do you fix DK abilities getting greyed out???

Very mysterious... any help would be appreciated.

    A lot of people are having their skills in pvp getting stuck greyed out! Did you have a 49k debuff on you or did it occur after getting negated or after getting hit by a stun+Immobilization combo by any chance? Those are when my skills get greyed out. The only for sure fix is to relog, you could try shoegoraths portal at the cyrodiil gate or just wait and hope they come back.

    Today I am switching to my Sorcerer because DK is too buggy.

    During a close fight in Imperial City my Ultimate would have won be the fight... but Dragon Leap launched me to a enemy that we behind me AND not in view of my camera.... how does that even happen?!?

    And now on my Sorcerer ... my RUNE PRISON/CAGE is blacked out as soon as I get into combat... It's not that the opponent is CC immune or anything... I'm dueling my friend and he is just standing there...

    just like petrify... I leave and come back and the skill is colored and supposedly able to be used... but as soon as my friend and I begin combat... the ability is unusable again until I load into another location....

    So I should not play my Sorcerer now too?

    I reported this through the bug submission channels.

    In short, the reason Petrify gets blocked out is because your target becomes CC immune. This makes sense - the game is trying to save you from wasting Magicka. When your target loses their natural CC immunity, e.g. you stun them, then wait 7 seconds, then Petrify is unblocked and you can use it again on that target.

    However, when the target obtains CC immunity via an Unstoppable effect, e.g. Immovability potions, even if you wait 10, 20, 60, or 120 seconds, you cannot use Petrify on that target again. The only way to unblock Petrify is to trigger the natural CC immunity on them via Dragon Leap and then wait 7 seconds before Petrify becomes unblocked. I believe another player stunning the target will also work - you just have to wait 7 seconds after the stun and then you'll be able to Petrify that target again.

    Petrify is one of very few CC abilities that is blocked on the UI if the target is CC immune. I believe Rune Prison should have the same issue for Sorcs but it isn't very frequently used. This is why this isn't a more widespread issue in the game.

    I like my DK, But Dk's are in the back of the line for fixing from what i've seen.

    Buy classes are working fine though, Play a Necro or Warden. theyre making up 90% of PVP any way right now w/ the new "BROKEN SETS".
