Recast timers fall out of sync

[Xenor]

I'm not sure why but I often have an issue where the recast display of my actions fall out of sync with their actual recasts. For example I could use Raging Strike with a 30 second recast and it will start ticking from 24 and show up to be used after 24 seconds. The game won't let me use it any earlier than 30, it's a display issue.

This is a huge pain in the ass when playing archer because often I don't even get to see the recast on Light Shot. To fix it I have to completely shut down the game and reload it. Logging out to the character screen isn't enough. The issue gets worse the longer I have been logged in and I've found zoning to different regions causes it.

Where does the client get its recast display timers from? Why can't it just start a new 30 second timer or whatever when an ability has been used?

Here's the list of info you need but most of it is irrelevant.

Platform: Windows, windowed mode.
ISP: Sky
Type of Internet Connection: DSL
Internet Connection Speed: 8mbps
Date & Time: None specific, it happens after being logged in a while.
Frequency: Every day.
Character Name: Xenor Vernix
Race: Hyur
World: Wutai
Class/Skill Rank: Any
Physical Level: Any
Area and Coordinates: Any
Party or Solo: Both
NPC Name: None
Monster Name: None
In-Game Time: Any
Steps: I can't really give you the steps to reproduce it because not everyone gets this issue. Being logged in for a while and changing regions causes it for me but as I say some don't get it. It's more than likely a hardware issue. But the point of this report is to request timers be initiated a different way so that those of us who get this issue don't see it any more.

I get this too, sometimes the recast can get as worse as 6-7 minutes long and it makes tanking really annoying. When starting a guildleve, the recasts are all reset and if they're all out of sync, I can't use any of my abilities for several minutes.

Encountering this issue as well.
No steps to reproduce but replacing all the icons in the action work appears to fix it temporarily.

What's interesting about leves is that the timer issue affects the 30 minute leve timer itself too. Pretty much any countdown timer in the game is affected by whatever is causing it.
