I’ve been watching my character’s activity, and when I use evade while fighting, the bug presents itself more often than any other time. Sometimes it will present itself after being properly stunned by a creature, but once the stun is cleared, I cannot move or cast. These issues take around 2-5 seconds for the game to fix itself properly, but within that timeframe, the player is a sitting duck. Occasionally, I can use evade again, but still can’t walk and cast.
Update: I just noticed that I had an input issue. Instead of allowing me to move a second ago, my character kept casting. Once I used evade, the game stopped casting. I think the servers are having some server-to-client issues. So when you’re in a battle, I’m guessing there is data being shoved back and forth between the client and server, and somewhere the server is messing up and thinks the client is still doing something that it isn’t.
I can only think of a few ways to resolve the issue by having an offline mode, or the other is when you go into dungeons and choose to do so solo, the server spits all the information out, which means mobs, buffs, treasures, etc., and you run through it like normal (it’s partially offline but waiting for completed data). When you’re done, the data is uploaded.
The only sucky part about the only dungeon mode is the issue still isn’t resolved with online mode.

Having a similar issue since this new season. After using Evade while in combat, the character is stuck 1-2 seconds, unable to move or cast. While stuck my character sometimes continues channeling the skill (e.g. Thunderstorm) that was used when i pressed the Evade button, until my ressource is empty or I use another Evade.

I’m not playing a Druid this run. I’m trying the Rogue out to stay entertained. Rogues don’t have the issues with getting stuck, which I mentioned a month ago with the Druids. Could Druids be the only class that is getting stuck? I’m not sure, but I know Rogues aren’t having the issue.
It could even be an issue just with Thunderstorm. When using Tornado instead, this doesn’t happen. Last season I played Barb, sometimes with Whirlwind Build (channeling spell) and I cant remember having such problems there.
This bug could be linked to another bug (?) Thunderstorm has. This skill doesn’t have an internal cooldown for its damage ticks. Each mouse click is causing damage instantly.
This bug can be reproduced easily. Just Evade right after activating Thunderstorm. Doesn’t even need to be in combat.

No my Sorcerers’ Lightning Spear gets stuck on and his dumba$$ continually yelling “i can’t do that right now” when it’s on CD. I have to Town Portal to make it stop. I sometimes just stand there for entertainment for my cats though and leave the bug looping.
This is honeslty getting annoying it definitely renders storm druid unplayable on HC. i would say its a higher than 50% chance to become stuck when i evade im seriously considering dropping the build all together. do we know if there is a fix in the works?

I would say it is a 100% chance when using Evade within 0 - 0.1 seconds after activating Thunderstorm. Whenever this happens I can just try to continue evading since this is one of the few movements that still work during this struck bug and after all charges are gone, I’m usually dead. Standing still for 2 seconds on higher dungeon levels is a death sentence.

Rogues are the #1 class having this issue. There’s full threads on Reddit about rogues getting stuck. Only rarely do you hear about druids
having similar issues with several characters.
There will be a time they stop attacking until you press evade or use skill.
I suspect its SERVER TO CLIENT issue. No matter how fast our internet or hardware we solely rely on BLIZZARD trash servers.
I wonder where they put their profit from the game, instead of improving their servers. sigh
