All crusaders, especialy those playingHC, should read this warning!
Shield Bashis bugged, for so far unknown reasons, you might get stuck when using it. Not only that you cant move, but some of your skills will be unusable as well (from skills i was using when that happened, Condemn worked, while Bombardment not), as well as Town Portal! It also seams that some passives and runes cease to work as well when this happens (my Punish - Roar wasnt causing explosions upon blocking and im not sure if Renewal healed me, becouse my hp was dropping kinda fast and if i havent had healing templar at my side, i would die).
Stop using this skill at once, it might cost you your character if you play HC, or simply cause annoyance when playing SC.
edit: it doesnt occure so rarely as you might thing, a friend told me it happened to him yesterday, i just thought it may never happen to me, and here we go. Dont be so ignorant as I was.
experienced this bug a couple times should have been dead in hc friend made it into the game and saved me not srue if i became invinvible or something cause i should have been dead
Allready happend to me two times. First time solo, could only use my left click ability. Couldn't even loot things after killing the pack I was on (and of course a leg amulet droped...). Second time today in a rift with friends.
the two time were on jailers pack. So yeah pretty much sure it's related. I guess that if you are jailed in certain frames of shield bash charge you will bug.
100% sure the bug proc when you are jailed right when you click your bash. If the charge animation launch when you are jailed you are stuck. This time I tried to die to no be stuck ad eternam. But apparently when bugged YOU CAN'T DIE. At least this bug can't kill you in HC but can ruin your bounties if you solo play.

Oh, its nice that you cant die when encountering this bug. But the most interesting thing - when it happened to me, there wasnt any jailer about. And somebody said earlier here that it happened on a white mob. Anyway, i wouldnt risk it.

I just died and can't rez, but I don't use 'sheild bash.' I do however have Akarat's Champion and I'm pretty sure it was active when I went down; the rebirth proc should have happened but only half worked. It behaved a lot like what was described above with the Jailer/Shield Bash proc. I appeared as the dead cross that always marks the spot when you die. Some abilities would work and some wouldn't, I couldn't move, eventually my life ran out a second time, and I got no opportunities for a rez. I had to leave game to correct it.
I've heard that this bug is also caused by Akarat's Champion rebirth after death thing.
Yet another misconception, I am pretty sure it is related to the jailer afix as someone in this thread have already pointed out.
I am just amazed that it is still bugged, I encountered it once or twice during the first few days of RoS when playing my crusader and was certain that it will get hot fixed real soon. Weeks passed and it is apparently still there? I mean wtf Blizzard?
Actually I saw a vid today where this happened via AC in a brawl between two crusaders. I'll try to find it, but I did see it for myself. The symptoms were exactly as described in the OP. Only condemn would work and his char could run around completely invisible.
Just ran into this bug myself. It happened right when I hit my horse button and got jailed at exactly the same time. I have AC, and I rarely use it, but I can't remember if that played into that. Luckily it was right after I got a conduit shrine, so everything around me died anyway. Only way to fix was to log out (couldn't even town portal). And no, I don't run shield bash.
Oh yeah, but I didn't appear as a corpse, though. Mine just had me stuck in place, and I didn't even come close to dying. Maybe we're talking about two bugs?

I have no idea how I survived, I didn't even think to bail out of the game until I was already flashing.

No Jailer. No Shield Bash. It's an AC bug apparently.
