Not Getting 3 Sparks Back?

I'm not exactly sure what happened during the tiger event. I was on the boss hitting and 5 different times I sparked started to hit and never got 3 sparks back after my spark wore off.

I checked my gear and everything and that was all fine, there was no skills cast on me, or anything strange. I think there was one point where I kept hitting my hotkey and clicking boss and I refused to start hitting again. Anyone have any ideas, the only thing I can think of would be possible lag, but I have NEVER experienced anything like this before. Cost me top 5. b:surrender

    Sounds like you lagged badly. Sometimes it happens and you stop attacking/etc, but don't actually dc either. It's annoying, but fortunately not overly common.

    When this happened to me it was because my claws broke without me noticing.

    Happens to me all the time. But maybe because I'm not 5.0 b:chuckle

    not sure if this is a serious thread or not, but on the assumption it is.. maybe the boss moved and you were out of range at first, causing a delay in you being able to hit the boss - thus delay in chi gain. the other part sounds like a lag spike though.. been pretty common since the weekend.

    uhm if its what i think you mean, then no its not lag.

    like when you set on the tiger event bosses, do not place yourself at the side. back or front best. when aggro switches its like u can get randomly half-stuck ( i dunno how to say)
    But i notice that like hitting stops and start again and maybe only gain 250 chi during 15 sec spark.
    gotta move char and start hitting again to get full speed back or w/e. sometimes even stops completely for me so wont start attack unless i move a step.
    I'm sorry for misspelling / mistyping and grammar b:surrender

    My daggers were repaired full before event so it def wasn't that.

    After rethinking about it they aggro did switch a few times, but I guess I will just have to place my char in a better spot next time. Stupid glitches in this game. b:surrender

    It's lag, it's happened to me before when I manually used triple spark then auto attack, just set it to a macro and it should prevent it from happening.

    i think there may be very short duration stuns that will interrupt auto-hitting/macros. idk, could be wrong, but this happens quite a bit when i do event on bm
