Fighter Haste Boost Bug

[shoveljon]

Hello all. Just thought I'd see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue as I am (I've reported the bug FYI).

Occasionally when using my Haste Boost IV, the boost begins to count down as normal, but the boost does not apply. Now when this happens I don't loose a usage of the boost or anything the buff just goes into cooldown without applying, so it's not a huge loss, just more an annoyance when I'm trying to pour damage onto Harry or something, as I have to wait for the boost to reset before using it.

I'm not pressing it prematurely or anything, and it's not every time. Happening more like 1 in 10.
Anyone else experience anything similar?

I have noticed a similar thing with Rage. Exactly the same behavior: the timer starts running, but no use has been removed and no benefits conferred.

Yeah i have noticed it too, doesnt just happen with haste boost though, ive had it happen with my rages aswell, sometimes double clicking it when its on the cooldown cycle seems to activate it.

To those speaking of this potential issue. Let me ask you this question. Do you have auto attack activated, or is your "hold attack to activate auto attack" active?

You see, I too have noticed similar moments, where looking to activate both rage and action boost have not happened but the cooldown timer had started. This has in my situation always been because my auto attack in some fashion was going. Test this theory I have presented to you and see if you notice a difference.

Yes, I have also noticed that if you see the boost not activate, just hit your hotkey again.

This happens to just about anything with a timer, and seems to be associated with lagging while trying to activate it. It's most pronounced with long-activation animation abilities - in part 1 of the Shroud I don't lag a lot, but when I do I've noticed that trying to haste or refresh songs the effect sometimes just doesn't go off even though the animation kicks in.

[Pardish]

I find it only happens if i'm standing still hit the button then move before the animation is over. So now I just jump then hit it while im in the air (like casting) if I dont want to be slowed down. Or if you are already moving it will usually make you stop till the animation completes.

[Kreaper]

It has nothing to do with moving. I thought the same thing until I tested it. I made sure that every time I raged I was not moving or even touching my mouse or keyboard except for the one key to rage and it still happens. My time pendant is another one that is bad to do this.
