energy bug?

I've been using a fire elementalist build with Ether Prism in FA. Recently, I've been unable to cast spells (e.g. Immolate, Searing Heat, Rodgort's Invocation) as the game wears on. I get the message "not enough energy" even though my blue bar shows I have plenty of energy (sometimes 2-3x that necessary for the spell).

Anyone else have this problem?

Quickening Zephyr

Description Create a level 1-8 Spirit. For creatures within its range, all skills recharge twice as fast as normal and require 30% more energy to cast.
This Spirit dies after 15-39 seconds.

Was this spirit near you?

I didn't notice QZ up, although I hadn't thought about that TBH. I'll keep my eye out.

It's a recorded bug that happens occasionally. Possibly has to do with switching from different weapon sets causing the server to get confused with your current energy level. Nothing much that can really be done about it.

As Dust says, only it happens very often to me. Can't tell if hitting esc before switching every time works as I switch weapons a whole lot and I don't always hit esc before every switch so I end up seeing this display 'bug' more than a few times a week.

Good to know I'm not crazy. I was noticing this most often when I switched into a high-energy weapon set, and then back into my "standard" set.

I'll try the esc thing to see if it helps. Thanks again.

If I were you I would try your build without switching sets. Figure out where the math error is occuring (if at all) and forward your results to the programmers.

When using energy sets or skills with energy return effects, this happens. There is little a-net can do to actually fix this problem. The best thing you can do to fix this issue is to die, you'll obviously fix the energy issue and respawn very quickly in something like FA. In other arenas you can just sit there without casting and wait it out for a minute or two until you are SURE all your energy would have time to regen.
