Invigorate glitch?

[OneSapphire]

I am wondering if anyone else is having difficulty using Invigorate? When I left clicked on that skill on hotkey the notice on right side bar kept telling me that I could not use the skill yet even though it was already cooled down. I have to click 3 or 4 times before I can start using it. I thought it was my mouse, but when I switched to a brand new mouse the same thing happened. Is this a glitch? This also happens on my archer's Multi Shot.

I have noticed some times that happens. I came to the conclusions that it was a glitch where the hot key button stops showing the cool down shading. The move is still on cool down ... but the button is still bright. I notice that it happened most in KQ's

There is an acknowledged bug on some skills where you use it, but it looks like cool downed. It generaly happens when you click on a skill right at the moment when you lag, freeze, or anything related to bad connection (that's what I experimented).

There was I patch saying it was fixed, but it still happens. Less often, but still there...

Also, if you have another skill in the process of casting (even "instant cast" skills like heal/rejuv) you can't activate invigorate until the skill in progress has completed casting, i.e. whatever cast time is completed, and whatever animation time is completed.

It always annoys me too, because I'll have just used "heal" and I want to cast it next, and I have to wait for it to finish before it lets me activate it.

I usually get 3 or 4 cannot use skill messages before I can use it also.
Just kinda highlights the un-instant-ness of instant cast skills, and since it's an aimed aoe, you can't click/cast it ahead of time like you can with other skills.
Plus, they don't want you using two skills at the same time ;3

Yes, you're right. I paid attention to my Multi-Shot yesterday and I realized it could only be used about 2 or 3 seconds after I cast non-AoE skills. So, AoE skills can't stack? And yes, it's annoying as hell. I haven't tried experimenting on Invigorate though.

Well yes and no. Aimed AOE's can't stack (So invigorate, Nova, Inferno, and any of the archer AOE's) won't be able to.

But other ones (like devastate, magic burst, awaken, restore) should all still be able to cast, regardless if they're instantaneous or not.
Since you have to determine the location for the aimed ones though, they can't stack =/. I don't really think that's a bug though.

Yes, thank you very much. After some observation I am pretty sure it isn't a bug. :)

i think the skill bar is glitched coz happen to me too as a fighter where i used a skill but it doesn't show the cd animation but i can't use it coz its in cd so i think its happening to everyone as well.

The particular delay the OP was asking about is an aspect related only to skills similar to it (like other aimed aoes).

What you're talking about is the cooldown bug that's been around for ages now and still effects just about everyone.
It isn't really related to a particular type of skill I don't think o.o I should investigate more, but it's hard to intentionally reproduce.
