Does this happen often? Or just a one-time bug?

You are probably too far away, it happens to me all the time in Competition arenas. When you get alittle closer you should be able to get it.

Really? I never seen this happen to me. Then again I make sure of a Half Moon bow so I'm always close. Now the thing is, surely what is mean to happen is you click the skill, and your character should run into range to pull the skill off?

"should" is good word choice. Thats whats "supposed" to happen, but I've had alot of stuff happen when I'm out of range.

The number 1 thing that happens is I'll click like Point Blank Shot, then another attack (this should have the effect of pulling me closer, doing point, then doing the other attack and it often does) - but sometimes it just cancels Point blank and does the second attack (that is - it "chooses" which attack it wants to do based on distance)

It can't hurt to report it. Doesn't sound right to me no matter how many people have experienced it.

The dual shot is bugged i think. It has happened to me while working with my ranger. if i use it after another skill for some reason the first time i try it, it says that i dont have the energy. its on a full bar. lol i found that if i use dual first, it eliminates thsi problem.

I have many hours playing my Ranger/Mo and have never experienced that. Always if the target is too far it will automatically pull you into the targets range to take the shot. If you are stuck against a rock or some object you can't get by, I can maybe see this happening. However your picture clearly shows your char has room in gront to move forward. I say report it.

You sure it is not still reloading the skill, and you are clicking on it too soon before it recharges?

You are too far away from your target. Half-moon bows have a shorter range.

No, I've had this kind of bug too - well within range, suddenly a skill stops responding. It was my quickshot or barrage was acting up for me (can't recall) - the skill would do the little blinky as it darkened, but wouldn't cost energy or activate. Might be lag related? It was a laggy evening.

I've had it happen to me with Barrage, Quick Shot, Hunter's Shot.. pretty much any bow attack. :P it's cost a few important interrupts.. I'm well within range, and if I move slightly to the left or right it will let me use them.. it seems like a bug to me.
