Bard bug help

[KizuyaKatogami]

Is there any way to prevent the bard walking bug? I’m not sure what caused it.

The bug happens when you gain the Frontline March buff after firing Apex Arrow and then use Powerful Shot while the buff is up. The ways that I know to get out of it:

1. Initiate summoning your mount. You don't have to complete the summon, just initiate it.
2. Wait for the buff to drop then use Powerful Shot to reset your movement speed.
3. Start cast of Powerful Shot and then cancel the cast (however, the problem will return if you use Powerful Shot again while Frontline March is still up).

As far as I know, there is no way to prevent it other than to never use Powerful Shot the entire time you have Frontline March up or never use Apex Arrow so you don't get Frontline March buff. Neither of these are viable options as it means you'll be gimping your bard even worse. What's worse is that with the first technique to preventing it, if you have Frontline March up, even after it expires, it has a lingering component that doesn't go away until you use Powerful Shot, and the moment you do, you'll still get the bug; you have to fire Powerful Shot again without using Apex Arrow to restore your movement speed.

I've been fighting with this issue for the longest, now. I'm sure other players in Crystalline Conflict be wondering what on Earth I'm doing just rp-walking about instead of running. It's cause I literally can't move any faster. By the way, sprint also does not restore your speed. You'll just be power-walking, which has been the main thing I've had to do to compensate.

EDIT: I just recently learned of probably the best way around the walking bug. Press the button to initiate casting Standard-issue Elixir. You don't have to complete the cast; you just need to initiate it. This will reset your movement speed back to normal, until the next time you cast Powerful Shot with Frontline March up, at which point, you'll revert back to walking.
