Anyone else noticed this.
If I do a special, nothing happens. I have to spam specials, before one goes through.
I have to change flamer, or use my TK skills.

I notice that it takes longer than usual for my specials to get off. The first one is no problem, but the ones after that are really really really slower than usuall.

Ya know I would have sworn the flamethrower specials were slown down in my last PvP fight. My character just stood there for what was way to long, cause I know by now how long it takes for my specials to go off.
Interesting...

Spamming 4-5 specials at once, and one random special would go off.
Been like this for 2 weeks or so.

I've noticed the same problem the last week or so. Been a tad annoying, it has.

This has been going on for about 6-8 months or so.
If you use ONE special on a macro while grinding, occasionally it will stick in your combat queue. It doesnt even have to be a combat special. A heal special will do it also. It seems to be specials that have a long delay to them.

VEK. YOUR A COMMANDO?!?!?!?!?!
Will wonders never cease. I'm sure I knew that but wonder why it never stuck in my head.
I have experienced the same thing. Sometimes changing targets and /attack would work, sometimes it wouldn't, but that is the best method I have found so far. It seems to moslty happen in high population areas (might be server lag). The worst place I noticed it was at the FS village on Dath doing the phase for defense thing. Alot of us there and I would try to stack my dots on the shadow thugs, but found i would only fire off 1 special than stand there looking dumb while the other 50 or so players got to all the outlaws and pirates I needed.

I tired /dump /peace and macro with /ui action clearCombatQueue.
Nothing bites. It seems like specials that hangs, trying to be resolved.
I do use macro on my flamers.

I use alot of macros as well....From everything from healing to attacking, to standing...Sometimes it does get "stuck"....Usually takes a server reset for me, or logging out for the night

I don't think this is limited to Commando. I had this happening for me as Rifleman as well. But worse when using Flamer since there is a longer delay.
Not sure about any bullit-prrof method to get out of it. I have tried clearing combat que, target another creature and do /attack. Seems to help
This has happened without running any macros so it is not that.

I think the delay is what is causing the problem...I ran into a similar situation on my Jedi where I was spamming healall2 as I was running from an Elder....Next thing I know, its stuck in my combat queue....Took a full day to get it out.
