Occasionally when using swords or glaives for an extended period and switching off of them the powered melee key bind will fail. The powered melee charge on the bottom left will flash red even when charged and not proc. Recently with the attention praxic blade has been getting, and its synergy with strand titan I have come across this issue MANY times. Grappling across a ledge and trying to use my frenzied blade for the last bit of movement, only to have it fail and me die does get a bit old. Something that FIXES this issue is to do an unpowered melee once the lockout has begun. A strand grapple melee will also fix the issue and allow for powered melees once again. ---------------------- On a similar note, getting Forge Master from Melas Panoplia and switching to either a sword or glaive will remove the buff, presumably because the game no longer sees throwing hammer.
