Skills not working during some situations! Needs a fix bad it's killing my healing!

Dubah · May 2014

So I play a Templar healer and have been running around with my group trying to do stuff, i noticed at times not all the time, my resto staff skill mutagen and my templar skill Breath of Life grey out and become unusable, so i did some testing and its the creatures that are causing it, if a creature ends up in my target box i can not use those 2 skill until i kill it or clear my target. Figured I would post a picture as the proof just in case you needed it, this was taken in one of the delves in craglorn, i have a snake targeted and the 2 skills are greyed out. I also tested to see if it was just that first and 4th slot on my skill bar but it isn't i moved them around and the same skills mutagen and breath of life were greyed out and unable to be used, hopefully this gets fixed soon (obviously as well as the memory leaks)

You, of course, submitted a bug report in-game?

FWIW; my templar has never bugged out like this, so it's not globally reproducable across the class.

I had that happen right after the update. Next day I log on and I did not have the problem, thought it was just me or something.

I did noticed that mutagen and combat healing would grey out if I had a mob under the crosshairs. Would even grey them out if it was over a critter as well.

Edit: Sorcerer V1 here.

All of my templar heals and resto staff heals that are non-targeted (don't affect whats in my crosshairs) will gray out if a critter is targeted. By "critter" i mean the little level 1 non-combat creatures. Anything else targeted and it still works fine... this is absolutely horrible. Why would my powers that couldn't even affect those critters be grayed out simply because of the way I'm looking. This is EASILY reproducible between multiple characters.

I did submit a bug repport in game, the reason why i also posted it here is because i have no idea if the screenshot submitted in the bug report is the same as above or if it is what i was currently viewing, it would help if they could show us a previewable image before you send off the bug report

I've submitted a number of reports on this issue. It happened occasionally before that patch and is much more frequent after the latest patching. My character tends to die before her first hit fires off which is really annoying.

Wonder if this is the same issue I had yesterday. Died 2 times on my templar healer cus healing abilites suddenĺy stopped working. Thought it was lag at the time but this sounds more like it.

it took me a while (and a couple deaths) to figure out why my powers were getting grayed out (aka disabled)... it wasn't very obvious since you often have a critter targeted and not have a clue cuz they are all over the place.

Finding a swarm of bugs is great if you want grab a lot of fishing bait... its horrible though since when in middle of them its extremely difficult to use several powers.

I lol'd.

You guys didn't hear that "fixing" Soul Trap critter-exploit, Ranged spells now don't work when pointed at critters?

I suppose you should look at the sky instead of watching what's happening and accidentally mouse over some critter.

It was happening to me just before I logged this evening. (Aust.)
Sorcerer here, two skills would not fire.

I will point out I was targeting two very angry bandits.

sometimes it looks like your targeting an actual mob, but a critter nearby is overtaking the target... this is a problem for single target damage spells when you may waste it on a critter, and not hit the actual mob attacking you... but its horrible when you cannot cast something that isn't even affected by targeting, and if it did work, would do nothing to the critter anyways.

I've had this happen where the buttons are not greyed out, but abilities will not fire. The scene is animating, but my char can't do anything for several seconds at a time.
