Assasin's Strike self-interrupting?

This has happened to me enough that I'm wondering whether I'm doing something wrong. I have an energy/ninjitsu stalker. If I am stealthed, and I run up to something, stop moving, then hit AS, I immediately see the message saying it was interrupted, followed by about the first second of the animation. I haven't been engaged, I'm still hidden, and if I just cast it again it works... but I lost the endurance it cost the first time, and that's actually sorta significant.

Am I doing it wrong?

This is likely due to a touch of latency. The server is seeing you 'move' a touch, the last step or so and interupts.

Pause a moment, then attack. It should go through without a hitch.

Are you standing near a CoT crystal? While regen or recovery is nice, the aura interrupts AS, snipes, Trip Mine, etc.

Nope, just normal running around. I think it's just latency, I get the same thing a lot with sniper attacks.

What Cat said. It's just latency. I either pause for a moment before queuing AS, or I just mash the button over and over until it takes, ignoring the endurance hit from doing so.
