Hey guys!
To get right to the point, I'm having a weird issue with my hot bar (macros and plain old abilities) during fights. When I activate one of the actions, sometimes it will trigger and burn my global cool down without actually using the ability. For example, earlier today, I was in a dungeon and had just used True Thrust, setting up the combo to Vorpal Thrust. When the cool down was finished, I popped Vorpal Thrust, but my character did not do the attack animation. The Global Cool Down reset, but I still had access to the combo bonus for Vorpal Thrust.
This happens in all fights and dungeons that I have been in since 2 patches ago. At first I thought I was getting paralyzed or stunned until I noticed it happen when I had zero debuffs on me. For whatever reason, it acknowledges that I've hit the macro, it just doesn't fire it off.
This is becoming a big problem since it's reducing my DPS significantly on my BRD and DRG. However, it's even worse on WAR, where it will affect some of hate grabbing tools.
Is this an issue for anyone else? I'm sure if I explained it clearly, so if I need to clarify, feel free to point that out. :)
Thanks in advance

Issue
When having macros registered to the hotbar that are not associated with your class and certain operations are performed, there are cases where the display of your current class hotbar will be modified.
We’ve confirmed the following operations will cause this issue:
Creating or deleting gear sets
Changing or updating gear sets
By performing the above, trouble arises with the hotbar display. The hotbar saved data is not corrupted, however, and only the display is being changed.
Besides these cases, there have also been reports of this occurring while in certain content, but we have not yet been able to identify the issue. The development team is continuing to investigate based on all the information we have been receiving.
Method to deal with this issue
It’s possible to eliminate the hotbar icon display issue by performing the following:
From the Character Configuration, under “Hotbar Settings†turn the shared feature from on to off or from off to on, and then press apply and the display should be restored. After this, toggle the setting once more and you’ll be able to use your original settings.
Change your main weapon or gear set, and change your class.
Log out and then log back in.
For the cases where this issue occurs within content, as it is not possible to change classes another method is necessary to deal with this; however, as the development team has yet to confirm the cause of this we will make an announcement once we confirm the situation and look into how to address it.
Plans to fix the issue
We’ve received word that the cause of this issue is the expanded support for the “/micon†macro, and we’re currently investigating what will be affected by fixing the bug. There is a high possibility that a client-side patch will be necessary, and once we confirm the release date for this we’ll make an announcement.
I just wanted to give you the latest report from the development-side on this situation.
I apologize for any inconveniences this has caused.

This sounds like it has to do with the hotbar display. My issue is that the global cooldown keeps getting burned without any action taking place. It's not just macros (in fact, I currently have zero macros on DRG or BRD). Yet, I will try to activate an ability, the GCD burns, but I get nothing.
An example would be when I try to use Feint on a regular dungeon monster. It'll burn the cool down, but the slow effect won't apply (and the animation will not occur). However, once I can use it again, it will fire successfully, applying the full debuff. It's as if it registers that I pressed the action, but it won't actually perform the action.
I tried the above "fix", but it didn't do anything for my issue.
Thanks anyway (since it does explain one issue I have with the macros that include /micon).

I've seen this quite often when trying to use Sprint. The cooldown timer restarts but my character runs at his normal pace.
I have noticed this myself. with 1 ability called wide volley. will activate it. cooldown happens but ability doesn't go off.
