thought i'd try for my elysian tunic again...been trying to get this (my last piece) for ages now. some of these pieces have even been replaced and now sit in bank, but I WANT THE TUNIC!!!

so i get set up..go over. wait an eternity for the right pulling criteria and pull my first remains. get one round of DOTs off and hit it with epic when *BANG* my spells stop working.

they wouldn't cast...it was like they would start to and then just disappear like i never casted it. i started freaking out. I couldn't gate, couldnt invis to run back, and in UP thats a long haul through a ton of mobs to the zone...i'm a paper thin druid.

then i thought maybe if I re-mem the spells. tried it and now I could cast, but every single time it got through casting it would say "Spell recovery time not met" WTF?!?! I was pissed...here an elysian was on my bootay and I couldnt root it or nothing. long story short, I was able to barely get enough distance between it and I for my earring of nature to cast circle of the combines (24 second cast..had to get tons of distance).

30 minutes later a guide responded and asked me if i'd died...told me it was a known bug. $%(*#$%* why dont known bugs get fixed?

/rant off

I've had this happen once in LOIO, but LOIO is a little safer to get out then UP...you'd think this one would be a higher priority on fixes. anyone know of any other zones this happens in? I'd like to create a list so I don't get caught off guard again.

I've seen this happen many, many times, in all sorts of places.

Oasis when I was a bitty chanter, didn't know what was happening.

Later on I've seen it in several zones. New PoHate(was the worst, middle of a 3-4 mob pull with 1 group...luckily druid had exodus AA that made it possible to evac to ZI), Akheva, Grieg's, PoK, City of Mist, Seb, everywhere really. It seems to be a rare bug when a script either on your character (noticed this on melees) or something gets messed up in the zone.

Zoning usually will fix the casting bug, whether by evac, death, or train.

Camping will fix the melee script bug.

<edit>As a note, I have also seen this happen and be "fixed" quickly without zoning too.</edit>

Same thing the other day as well. Begin to cast a spell, and it looks like it fizzles out, or your spell gems don't recover. Being a cleric, and trying to cast DA when you're just about dead, and not having your spell gems recover is a bit on the frightening side */cry*. Fixed itself though, no help from this post, just letting you know I too feel your pain. /comfort
