Void Cleave Lockout

First off, yes, I have a 2 handed sword equipped.

I can’t figure out the exact circumstances, but far to frequently while using Warpath and then trying to active Void Cleave, it doesn’t come out and I can’t act again until the Void Cleave timer ends. I would assume Warpath was interrupting it, but I can hold Warpath down and it’ll work and then continue Warpath, other times it just locks me out.

Can’t replicate outside of combat. Bad stun interaction? Never notice getting stunned, and can usually immediately star Warpath up if I reactivate it instead of just holding the button.

Edit: Though of this after the post, not in negative mana either
Edit: Pretty sure it happens when you quickly press the button while targeting, but not if you HOLD the button.

I am having the exact same issue.

Oh, and also potentially of importance, for me this issue is occuring in offline play.

Same, I’m in offline.
Check my second edit, as far as I can tell you can get around if you hold down the button to completion. Still annoying though.

Same here, but im playing online. This occours almost always when i try to void cleave while still channeling warpath, since i use void cleave as a movement skill. This wasnt happening before 1.0, since i was playing this exact same build in 0.9.2
Please check this out, very annoying trying to play with this bug

Yeah, holding down the button does seem to work for me as well.

+1 For experiencing this issue.
It’s very annoying, almost died a bunch of times because of it. ALSO, it sometimes happens with Erasing strike as well, and on occasion after being frozen for a second, for some reason it triggers Erasing Strike 2x back to back, regardless of if it’s on cooldown.

Same here. Was not an issue before 1.0. Can confirm it happens with a quick tap to cleave but not if you hold cleave to completion.
It is likely a result of fixing the bug allowing you to keep warpath up without having to hold down the right mouse button. Used to be able to reliably start this by tapping your warpath skill while moving but this doesn’t work anymore.
I expect a fix for this will be a long time coming because they will want to avoid allowing the prior bug in order to fix this one. Personally, I’d prefer the prior bug to this one.

I’m facing the same problem with Void Cleave getting stuck after Warpath. Here’s what I’ve noticed:

  • Quick Tap vs. Hold: Like you said, it seems to happen specifically when quickly tapping the Void Cleave button, especially while targeting something (like an enemy). Holding the button seems to work more consistently.
  • A Possible Bug: This feels like an unintended interaction between Warpath’s channeling and Void Cleave’s quick cast mechanics. It doesn’t seem related to stuns or mana.
  • Holding Void Cleave for longer does seem to help, but in the heat of the fight, hard to remember to do.

Devs: Could you please take a look at this? It’s pretty disruptive to gameplay, especially for Void Knight builds relying on that combo.

It seems to me much more like a after quick tap the cleave animation cancels and the character is stuck. With a little bit longer tap it is totally fine.

I managed to trigger this bug with forge strike aswell (using forge strike while channeling warpath), minus the being stuck part.
Your character itself will do the forge strike animation(raising his sword and hitting the ground) but you won’t see an anvil falling down from the sky,
it will not go on cd nor will it deal any damage.
Therefore I feel pretty confident in saying that it must have something to do with the way warpath channel works.

I can’t believe this was posted a week ago and it’s still bugged.

!Appears to be fixed after today’s patch!

Void Cleave casts consistently with a tap and no lockdown. Also tested Javelin on my Paladin and it casts without a problem. (There’s a slight pause in Warpath as you throw the Javelin, but Warpath resumes immediately after the throw.)

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, DEVS! :smiley:

Same problem. Activating Void Cleave while using Warpath is hit-and-miss. It’ll go through the animation without hitting anything, and then I’m stuck in the middle of a pack unable to move.

As a side note, I have the exact same problem on my Paladin with Warpath and Javelin.

I’ll try to remember to hold down the key for Void Cleave (and Javelin) longer. Hopefully this gets remedied quickly.

Yes, it’s the same for me!
