While playing my concentration/warcries/maul barbarian John_Henry, my leap attack skill stopped working entirely.
The circumstances: (1.10 final, single-player) My equipment settings are (on main) two-handed maul, concentration on left, leap attack on right (on alternate) a pair of one-handed sounding (+2 warcries) weapons with various warcries on right-click. Normally in combat I switch to the +warcries setup, hit enemies with Battle Cry, then switch to the big hammer and concentrate them, staying on walk and using leap-attack rather than run to move rapidly when necessary... But in a nightmare false tomb a boss pack of stun-knockback enemies (those big guys that tip backwards when you hit them, can't remember the name) and apparitions surrounded me and I couldn't leap away... after some fighting and losing my merc, i managed to break away alive, but my leap attack still didn't work--i simply pointed in the direction of the right-click and nothing happened, similar to clicking on an unreachable area of the map. No sound, no mana cost. Switching leap-attack to left button, changing acts, changing equipment, going to town, dying and respawning, etc, didn't do anything--I had to completely exit D2 and restart it before my leap-attack would work again. attempting to leap-attack in town got me "not in town" as usual. The button was not red-shaded like when I had insufficent mana.
This has never happened before to me; has it happened to anyone else with Leap Attack or other skills? Is there a way to fix it without losing your game in progress?
