Combat Nerf? - Invalid Target

Is there a new thing implemented again for combat? Recently, everytime i target something and use my ranged skill, I'd often get "target invalid" and my char will just start running away from target.

But it has nothing to do with LoS either, because if I spam click it twice, i can cast the skill the second time I click on it, before I start the running away. If it was LoS, I shouldn't be able to cast the second time either, with both me and mob standing at the same place.

I've also made sure I actually had a (alive) mob targetted, but still happens. So its not a accidently target dead mob or NPC either.

It only happens in the first hit though. Anyone else having this?

it also happens when I just log in, so I don't think it has anything to do with logged in for too long lag

Happened today in siege. I was in range for discharge. After target was discharged, I unleashed other spells and none of them hit. Guy got out of discharge and slaughtered me. Not just once but many times, we both in range, I spammed my key like mad, nothing happened.

Not sure about the mechanics of it, but sometimes in siege, I'll have someone targeted, even get a hit or two off on them and drop their HP a bit, then suddenly I get invalid target, even though the red target marker is still around them. And next thing I know, they're slamming me for all my HP.

Edit:
it's 'invalid target' not immune or resist ar any of the understandable messages, it's just 'invalid target'

We all know the answer to this...if you're in world, there's a blade of grass in your way. If you're in siege, it's the ubiquitous server lag that plagues us all. In reality, it just means that they really need to hire some good programmers to fix the game.

It hasn't happened before though, just for the past few days. And the message is different as well

Anyway, I just got randomly kicked out of the game with no crash message whatsoever... the game just gets weirder and weirder o_O

I made a booboo and Kalvan was so kind as to chastize me for it. But I ahve had this problem also at times. Not real sure the true cause of it in the open world, but everyone knows that Siege is a different beast alltogether.
