Blackwand is exactly the same (Vet or temp version)

Ah its not just me then. I had thought it was something to do with my wireless keyboard playing up, but obviously not.
Yeah, I get the same issue with my nemesis staff and blackwand. I find that hammering WASD seems to make it respond quicker than 2-3 seconds though (although that may just be me thinking its quicker).
It's doing it here too... It's REALLY annoying!

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
There is a BIG thread on this in the US:

I really should do something about this signature.
I have the same. My toon wil pull out either staff (both available as i chose 'the other one' as my 54th Month Vet reward.
I can't move for a few seconds, can still be hit, etc then he/she moves again after 2/3 seconds. And yes, agree with FFM, annoying as hell. 
Sounds like the good old 'root as if playing animation even though the target is out of range' bug.

Seems the tartgetting has reverted back to weird state as well. Used to target nearest enemy first, then "move up" the ladder. Now I'm constantly getting targets as far away as possible when I hit 'Tab'. In general it seems the "boxes" have changed too, because I'm finding it really hard to "mouse-target" enemies.
I just noticed NONE of my slow powers work on shivans either, but that may well be as it's supposed to be, but they also seem to be on some mini-speedboost because they're moving faster than old AMd fire imps. Not that I care, they still go down easy! 
Ok, I'm grumpy, but it's killing the game fast for me now. I log on, do a mission get annoyed, log off. It amazes me how often old bugs seem to pop back in to the game.
Thing is, what causes the problem with the nem staff is exacly how it's usually used: Target something, get back/down. Hit activate power, jump up, everyone cheers 'Great pull". If it's now a sniper power, give us the range of it!
Ok, now I'm annoyed for real!
I just noticed my storm MMs 'Gale' roots me the same way when I'm out of range. Old bug returning?

So does my scrappers headsplitter. Seems to be quite widespread.
Can't say I've noticed any of this... I may be horribly unobservant, of course.
Or, I noticed there seemed to be a tiny patch today...

yea, this been ticking me off lately, scratched it up to lag tho. Black wand and Nemesis staff aren't the only ones, i noticed it some too with Blaze on my fire blaster (tho not all the time as opposed to the vet powers).

...that didn't fix the nem staff root problem (which also occurs on blackwand too) 
...and as usual, no official comment?'
Never is, so can't be bothered to actually check! 
Anyone seem anything new about it yet?
I just had to stop playing because I almost broke my monitor trying to run my fist through it.
...did get 2 more badges today though, so I guess I should change my sig to 521 badges... ...nah!
...and nothing about it in todays patch either...
...to be continued!
You posted here on the 31st Jan.
The build that went on live today was published to the training room on the 3rd Feb. Add in internal QA time and cut out the weekend ... the build that went to live was completed before the bug report was seen.
Guess there's still no news about it?
Nope still happening. I tested it and it appears it hapens about 3/10 times.
Been happening to me for days now, was beginning to wonder what it was causing it until I saw this.
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Since last patch, everytime I bring out the veteran power nemesis staff when I'm not in range of the target or if it's not recharged, my poor guy/gal will freeze completely for 2-3 seconds.
That's enough to get killed in many situations.
Now, for many alts, this has become a vital part of my damage doing... (playing healers and buffers do that you know)
...so a fix would indeed be appreciated!
