I logged in this morning to this same bug. tried everything I could to fix other than respec.

I’m experiencing the same issue, it seems to be related to a specific spear. I tried all of the above and nothing worked, equipped another spear and Javelin worked fine. Switched back to the initial spear that had an issue and it still wasn’t working. It’s an uncommon Defiled Spear. I tried to put a skin on the spear to see if that affected anything but it still didn’t work with another skin.

Same bug can`t fix try respect, restart game, swap weapons.

I’m having the same issue with the ‘Rallying Defiled Spear of the Ranger’

Same issue here. Nothing seems to get it to work.

Noticed this problem for the first time yesterday. Didn’t modify my skills or gear prior. Tried swapping out the spear for a different weapon temporarily and tried restarting the game. Logged back in today and the problem is still persisting.

The problem went away for me after I bought a new spear at the trading post and used that one moving forward.
