Game Mechanics: Auto Attack Fails to Activate

[Cecily]

For the past several days my character Cecily has not been able to melee or shoot a bow properly. When auto attack is used a few shots fire off and then cease or nothing happens at all. These problems seem to happen after moving the character as in... kill mob, walk to next, press auto attack, no swings. Another example is when mobs run.

To temporarily fix this issue, I've found that clearing target and re-targeting the mob engages melee again. This, however, isn't practical as it needs to be repeated 5+ times a fight. Super annoying / dangerous bug. Halp =/

What class and race is this character? Any special attacks or spells you are using that might cause this to happen? What zone are you fighting in? The Guks are notorious for causing a similar bug.

This was happening to my 14 barbarian rogue, and a 14 human monk I was grouped with in Unrest yesterday. I didn't know what the hell was happening at the time, but after reading this, I'm sure it's a similar problem.

The monk was pulling mobs, I would assist him and start attacking. There were times throughout the fights were he or I would just stop attacking. It's not my evade macro...I've grouped several times and never had a problem before yesterday.

I have no clue what triggers the problem, but I thought I would state that the original poster isn't the only person that has recently experienced this problem.

Evade doesn't work on this server FYI, confirmed by kanras (developer) some time ago.

Hummm, well that's an interesting comment.

Reading this post, I'm not sure what to think! And doesn't this timeline indicate that evade is in on blue? I'm just a noob rogue though, so I'm not positive it's working or it's just me turning off auto attack and losing aggro.

Anyway, the auto attack problem still exists.
