Thread: Penetrating Shot Bug?

  1. #1

    Default Penetrating Shot Bug?

    So I've been toying around with a few rotations on my Ranger, and something interesting happened. I Clicked Upper Attack, Lower Attack, Penetrating Shot, and instead of going on an 8 second cooldown, it went on a 15 second cooldown. So I looked in my combat log to see if I missed my Upper or Lower, and both landed. So I have been sitting here just clicking Upper and Lower attack over and over until Penetrating Shot comes off cooldown to see if I could replicate it, making sure to keep my eyes at the top of the screen to make sure the arrow buffs appear, and it happened again. Is this just a known bug?

    Ya know, I thought I saw that once and yelled out in global if there was a bug with pen shot cd. No one said anything. I tried it again and it was fine, didn't happen again so I forgot about it.....

    I actually never bother to do the upper attack anymore with pen shot. Just do the lower attack to buff the damage followed by one of the advantages fire or shattering followed by a buffed bleed combo (forgot the name) and then a buffed quick shots and then damage buffed pen shot, it will be off cool down by then. Just keep doing this over and over and you'll do good dps. Mix in some of the traps and your lower attack buffed armor ripper to gain the debuff. This is mainly what I do in PvP though, but I do it also in PvE.

    I noticed it too. Not sure in PvP but against mobs and bosses it happens a lot. On the world bosses it happens all the time.

    Yes I use up and low attacks before pen shot. In PvP against tanks where fight will be long, in pve because it gives the highest dps ( yes, I can be top dps on T4)

    Filling up with quick shits sucks. Its the worst combo.

    Did some testing on strawman after reading this thread and cannot confirm. Maybe a random thing and/or a latency issue.

    im pretty sure 99% of rangers never use upper or lower, i seen keella get 30+ kills in a mini using ONLY quick shot, nothing else at all. was a good laugh
