GB lockout cancelling my actions

[kupokage]

Right after the 10 sec overheating my GB shuts off and locks, yea, but any action I happen to press at that lockout moment gets cancelled out right. i.e. Im trying the Split Shot right as GB locks, the game wont register it and I have to press it again. Has anyone else experienced this? Really annoying losing a GCD to that.

Had it happen plenty of times and had it result in missing an entire GCD.

That's why you finish your Overheat with a Cooldown.

Usually do this, but when I get that Clean Shot proc I always feel the need to get greedy in an attempt to fit it into my OH.

Plan your WF differently so you don't need to do that.

This issue here is that any action during the GB lock out animation (the UI heat gauge closing) gets cancelled. Be it Cooldown, Split, Slug or whatever. My character will raise the gun to fire, GB closes, she resets and stands idle.

Cooldown shouldn't get cancelled. It's only the heated shots because they get replaced by non-heated ones when GB gets locked.

Im an idiot. That makes sense. Dumb though.

It's what happens if your latency is just high enough that your 6th GCD doesn't come in time before the overheat state ends. It getting cut off is one thing, but it's more importantly also a symptom of a bigger problem (not being able to get 6 overheat GCDs).

Try to see if you can lower your latency slightly, or buffer your first GCD after overheat a bit more aggressively (you have to anticipate the heat tick that pushes you to 100 and press slightly before it, if you wait for it to hit 100 and then press a weaponskill, you'll likely be too slow).
