sometimes my char just stops attacking

[['w']]

I use mouse [LMB] for movement and attacking enemies from afar with my charged staff so I need to hold down Shift to avoid running towards them.

However, sometimes, on very few occasions, my character doesn't respond for 1-2 seconds, which is enough time to die instantly if I'm rushed—especially on high-level maps.

Does anyone else experience this?

Most likely not lag, certainly not stunned.

i have had this issue numerous times while playing merc. its annoying cause like you said it can easily lead to my death when im getting swarmed

I have not experience this. But I been using WASD and or controller. No solution sorry.

However I just wanted to mention that you can change your skills to "always use without moving". Maybe not needing the shift key will help?
I believe the option is located at the bottom of the skill info screen, next to the weapon swap settings.
"G" --> Find the skill and click the expand arrow --> look to the bottom of the menu,

Is it when you get attacked? I thought it was some kind of stun lock happening when you get hit. Happens all the time with my sorceress, although I have a unique which makes me immune to stun.

I have noticed it too. it is annoying.. It is hitting the space bar quickly and finding a clickable mob to start attacking again. 2 to 3 seconds of frantic mouse click looking for a hit box in a crowd of mobs. It seems the mouse is ignored for the console controllers in development. it is wondering distribution of users between the three control concepts.

Yes I also experienced this sometimes. I'm using wasd. But it doesn't happen as often to be disruptive.

I love to dance in cycles, while murdering away, standing still would cause more attacks hitting their target.

Obviously for that issue it would help, else because movement and the attack are on the same LMB, it will get messy.

So far I often clicked LMB like crazy, but now I realized I just have to hold shift, maybe this was the issue, but maybe it is really stun.

It's happening especially when they charge into me, push into me, push me away and then I see my char not attacking, panic and well, doesn't end that great. :D

Last time I backed away few meters and avoided the constant rush of breach enemies.

I have this happen just frequently enough were i think im going crazy.

I think its when by clicking your mouse button you character trys to pick up something on the ground (loot interactables) you can change which key on keyboard is used for that in the options.

Okay that is also good to know, may help me from time to time, but there was no loot on the floor

Maybe you hover over an item on the ground.

Its not that, something is just bugged somewhere.

Can confirm. I wonder it this is some server side thing, like the stuttering is server side I'm pretty sure.
