Hello, since around the launch of shb I’ve been having some of my skills be cancelled and put back on cooldown when used. Gif attached shows what the issue looks like on my end. I have tried using a VPN connection to resolve the issue, lowering graphics and capping my FPS but nothing has resolved it. I have generally low ping and don’t see any lag anywhere aside from using abilities.

Good afternoon and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
This looks to be the result of latency to the server. If it started with the Shadowbringers launch, it may be partially attributed to congestion.
Do you use a wireless connect to connect to your router? If so, try using a wired connection.
We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!
I am on a wired connection. My fiancée sits next to me and is also on a wired connection without having this issue
Good afternoon and thank you for the reply.
What have you tried to to alleviate the issue? Where in game do you experience the lag? Does it happen during duties and dungeons?
Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
The issue happens anywhere I am in game. To resolve the issue I have tried lowering my graphic settings, capping my fps, running ffxiv using a vpn, and reinstalling the game.
Good afternoon an thank you for the reply.
