I have found it very hard to keep playing this game as for about the last 6-8 weeks i have been getting a random combo lockout on all my toons.
what happens is any combo or spell with a cast time becomes unusable for usually 2-3 minutes. I can still use potions, i can still use TW/FH on a barb, toggling soulbarrier on or off on a dt works...
But i cant use any combos or spells and cant even swing a weapon for a white hit and cant even use hide.
zoning into a new area will correct the issue, but you cant do this while trying to tank a mob in a 6 man.
I did a petition and all they said was it was "probably my ui"
bug existed in stonerune, strange ui, fire ui, fds ui and standard ui.
I installed 2 brand new hard drives in my comp, new clean windows 8 install and new game install... still bugged.
upgraded to win 8.1... still bugs.
I have a series 600 Nvidia card, but seems far fetched that a graphics driver would cause a random combo freeze, esp as the graphics dont lock up/crap out and i can still run around and use some abilities like the aforementioned tw/fh.
the only other strange thing i have noticed has been during testing with parser results. on any run where the combos suddenly lock out the parse is bugged. Did one the other day and the combos locked up after 3 mins on straw man, yet in the parse it only had about 30 seconds of combat time.. almost as if the data exchange between my game and the servers was interrupted leading to a failure of the connection, and a passive hidden reset.
perplexing bug and very frustrating. Being stuck only playing a dps toon sux as i enjoy tanking and healing a lot in 6 mans as well. especially tanking, which i cant really do if suddenly its like "sry guys for the wipe, combo bug again"
