Guild Wars 2

Every time I use the “Retreat” shout my weapons auto fire — targeting whatever hostile is in range, even if I am out of combat it fires at non-combative NPC’s like deer and then it puts me in combat.
The skill is supposed to provide aegis and speed, so why do these weapons fire? Is this a bug? Why would a retreat function attack?
I don’t recall it happening prior the changes they made to guardians when they did the big retooling of trait lines etc. I may be mistaken about that though.

Ugh, is no one else bothered by this???

Well it is the wrong forum subsection. Do you have auto attack on? I don’t so I’ve never noticed it.

Darn, I thought this was a catch all for any problems. I hope they move this otherwise I’ll hunt around for where I should post.
And I do have auto attack on most of the time — I’ll have to check if it does it when it is off.
Thanks!
