Thundara not able to be used at certain points.

I just started to fighting amaj'aal with my brother and I noticed this when I was fighting. Thundara keeps getting the message "Can't be used" even after it is shown it cna be used on the action bar. I have to wait a few seconds after the cool down is gone and the ability is lighten again. This hasn't happened before the patch.


Anyone else having this problem?

Haven't you been playing for a long time?

I play all the time.

The timmers unsync now and then, if you restart the game it should fix it.

It's server lag... you just haven't noticed it before, more than likely.

You just gotta restart the game when it happens.

^This. It's completely 100% random when it starts and to what magnitude. I've had my timers off by 22 seconds, I've had them off by 4 seconds. Restarting the game might fix it, or as in my case it may make it worse depending lol. It's been happening since 1.19 for me. Also interesting note, when it happens the time in-game is off by the same amount.

This.

You'll notice when you use an ability, for example Provoke, which has a 30 second cooldown, that the timer will start on a lower number, like :27. Then when it lights up, you'll have to wait the extra 3 seconds before using it. 3 seconds isn't too bad, but sometimes it gets off by a lot. Last night my timers were bugged 18 seconds, my weaponskills didn't even show the cooldown timer lol.

Pretty bad issue, first time it's happened to me.

yeah fight timers (Ifrit/mog/dungeon timer) will be out of synch as well

Sucks when it's on Ifrit... especially when all of a sudden an eruption happens and you didn't even see cracks.

Or the cracks come up and immediately the eruption happens lol.

This happens to me ALL the time... changing class in Uldah seems to trigger it

huh? I meant the kill timer (we use it to know when hellfire is about to hit) I have not experienced what you are talking about due to timers going out of synch.

Neither have I. As far as I've seen it only affects timers, though it affects ALL timers.

This is such and annoying issue that happens nearly 100% every time I log in. Hopefully we can get a response on this issue and if they are working on it ^^

The issue has been reported a number of times in the in-game bugs section, all we ever get is:

Not to mention it was stated numerous times that server issues will be fixed with new server infrastructure they're working on.

May I have another piece of cake?

I've gotten to the level in which I cast Thundara, and it's still lit up afterwards. That's how off my timers off. Though I partially blame my ancient relic of a computer.

Dear twelve, if someday, I cast Raise, and it turns back up lit again with no apparent timed cooldown, I'm going to eat my goobbue. Live. Whole. Teeth and behind all.
