I've been reporting this as a bug for 12 days and wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts or is experiencing this problem as well. My DC has 6 encounter spells that don't work. They are some of my most commonly used spells. I had been using them earlier the day they stopped working, logged out, then logged back on a few hours later and they didn't work. Any thoughts?

    What are the 6 "enchantment spells" you were talking about?

    I don't know why it does not work for you. I am using most of them daily.
    Can you describe what you see when it does not work?
    Just in case you are very new in this game, did you happen to 'tab' and switched to divine mode?

    I'm not that new, and I wish it were as simple as hitting tab. I tested these 6 spells on all of the Encounter spell stimuli keys (Q,E, R) and they do not work on any of them. All of my other spells on this character work correctly. One other thing that may or may not be helpful is that when you try to activate the spell by tapping the key that the spell is supposed to be activated by you do not get any response from the character. You will see the circle and cross icon to aim disappear, but the character does not respond (ex. lifting wand, etc.) and you will not see any graphic that should appear when you activate the spell. If you disengage from the scene (ex. checking powers, looking at character, tapping alt, etc.) before hitting the key that is supposed to control the spell a second time, you will see the spell's graphic flickering on the ground and the spell's icon as the mouse's icon. But, if you re-engage with the scene the graphic and icon will not be present. While you may see this graphic when dis-engaged from the scene, the character still never shows any physical activation or movement and does not when you re-engage with the scene. Thank you for your help.

    Hi @mysty#4057 ! Please revert the key binds to default. That should fix the issue.

    Thank you! I did this and it fixed it! I hadn't changed any of the key binds before the problem started, but I guess the character needed to be reminded of their defaults. This had been a problem for so long, I was starting to get a little discouraged. I appreciate everyone's help very much.

    They did another patch and it happened again. It's even worse this time! Now I can't access my powers, and three other character building categories. I can't use my mount or my spells. This is unbelievable. I tried the reset key binds and it didn't help this time. Any suggestions? I've reported it as a bug, but I'm not expecting any help from the devs, got my fingers crossed though.

    Have you tried manually setting the keybinds and turning AoE targeting assist "off"?

    The AoE was turned off. When I set the keybinds it clears the ones out that I just set as I proceed down the list and it doesn't seem to help either.
