    Xibalba

  • Describe the issue you are experiencing:
    I was using a Rapier/Fire Staff. Holding the rapier, then switched to fire staff right before opening my inventory to trade out my fire staff for my ice gauntlet. When I switched it out, it showed my rapier action bar while I had my ice gauntlet out… then my character started going haywire and couldn’t use the ice gauntlet abilities. I think it fixed when I switched weapons, then switched again. But not 100% certain that’s what fixed it. I have not experienced this again. (See Video)

  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay:
    I couldn’t use abilities or even move at times and I could still take damage.

  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue:
    I recovered, I think by swapping to my other weapon, then swapping back.

  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced:

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:
    At the time, I did not know what caused it. It wasn’t until I looked back at the video that I made the assumption that it may have been caused by swapping my weapons right before going into my inventory, then trading out the weapon that I was now holding for another. Again, not 100% on that, though.

It happened again yesterday. This time, with the musket.

Again, I swapped out a weapon that I had active (ice gauntlet) for another weapon (musket). And when I returned out of my inventory, it showed my other weapon (rapier) was active, even though my new one was. Then it was glitching out, and wouldn’t let me aim my musket. It fixed when I swapped weapons and swapped back.
