Skills not firing in PvP

[Vaulken]

The other day I noticed while having a PvP fight, with the guy standing still right in front of me that my overpower just wasn't going off, spamming it like mad of course. Auto attack was on as well but swings just weren't happening.

I have a slow weapon and overpower needs a dodge to happen, this makes it dubious to reliably test if overpower/auto attack is broken so I started spamming hamstring in fights more than usual and the same shit would happen. I would be spamming it for almost 4 seconds before it would fire.

I thought this might be latency but everything works great in PvE, I can run around in circles jumping and the skills will fire perfectly. Has anyone else encountered weird stuff in PvP

That happened to me aswell and usually swapping targets/relogging fix this for a while but it is annoying as hell. Copy pasting another post i made:
" i agree that overpower is not working properly at all, it is quite weird because in my experience it works from both white hits and special attacks but sometimes it just bugs out and say "the ability isn't ready yet" even if it's off cd and gcd. But is not the weirdest thing that happened to me here, one day my out of combat hp regen simply won't work even after relogging. Sometimes white hits aren't landing on the target and you have to move, change target and switch target back to make them work. Sometimes the target acts as it was immune or out of LOS while it shouldn't be..."
Talking about weird shit some cc makes you swap run/walk, rage gen is fucked up, a miss on hs/cleave will eat white hit, bs buff is visually bugged, deep wounds ranks are buggy and avoiding deserter is really easy.
Had more sporadic major problems but i honestly didn't take note of them all.

I am pretty sure on retail, you must overpower the mob who dodged you. So if you WW , Cleave, or use Sweeping Strikes and someone other than your main target dodges, you have to switch to that target to overpower them.

HOWEVER in my experiences so far on this server, if you are dodged by a mob that is not your main target, you can overpower no one. This seems to me where the bug is coming from, when you are dodged by someone other than your main target, overpower becomes active, but no matter who you target, you cannot cast.

Overpower has to be done on the target that dodged you are correct. Though i have noticed the lighting of the ability stays about half a second longer than the window of time you can use it.

It is a pain, but it should still allow you to overpower the dodge mob if you are fast enough.

When leveling I think i discovered that Overpower does NOT work at all when used on a target that dodged via sweeping strikes. I believe this a bug. Someone please confirm/deny?

Sweeping strikes is just broken here anyway. Sweeping strikes should copy the damage and deal it to the secondary target. Here it just deals damage equivalent to a white hit. Sweeping strikes should not be able to miss/dodge/parry/crit etc.

So the overpower bug(which I've also noticed) when SS gets dodged is just a sideeffect of SS being bugged.

When engaging into PvP combat with other players it always takes account their latency as well as yours, if you encouter some american players you'll see that sometimes you try to cast instant melee spells on them but they dont fire,with their latency they're always one step forward or one step back, there's nothing you can do about it.
