    Shoulder Tackle used with zero recast

    This bug with Shoulder Tackle happens quite frequently for me. I will use the ability which moves me to my target instantly, but if I move my character during the animation sometimes the other effects of Shoulder Tackle do not take place (damage and stun) and the ability does not go on cooldown. During the course of a single dungeon run, this happens to me at least a handful of times. I suspect it happens if the movement of either myself or the mob after the travel effect takes place causes you to be out of normal melee range which interrupts the damage/stun aspect of the ability.

    Time: Jan 13, 2014 and onward
    Frequency: High frequency
    World name: Hyperion
    Character name: Mhaeric Llystrom
    NPC name: None
    Monster name: Any
    Class/Level: Monk 35+
    Party or solo: Both
    In-game time: Any
    Area and coordinates: Any
    Steps:
    1. Start either in or out of combat.
    2. Be between 10 and 20 yalms from your target. (i.e. in Shoulder Tackle's usable range)
    3. Use shoulder tackle to move to target's location.
    4. Move your character as you perform the travel animation.
    4a. Alternately, the mob moves as the travel animation happens.
    5. Sometimes this results in the travel effect of Shoulder Tackle happening as normal (i.e. you appear at your target's location) but the target takes no damage, the stun does not happen, and the ability does not go on cooldown.

    I play Monk myself and the interruption on this ability is extremely annoying and inconvenient.
    I personally think that the skill should still take you to the target and cause the damage, even if the target is moved too close during the animation of the skill.

    It should just calculate the distance and take place immediately, it shouldn't do it "on the fly" which causes the interruptions.

    This has been happening frequently to my monk as well.

    Shoulder tackle will send me flying towards the enemy, then stop shortly before reaching it and displaying an out of range error message as if I was too far away to do the damage/stun. At least it still works as a gap closer I guess.
