Would it be plausible to request that anet have static discharge shots attack your selected target? It’s been a long while and for those who aren’t aware, tool belt skills that aren’t targeted (e.g. Big ol’ Bomb, Elixir Tosses, etc) will only shoot static discharge where your camera is facing, which for me is at my feet.

I just noticed that static discharge does kind of work with ground targeted toolbelt skills as long as you stand still (when you move it shoots where your camera is facing). Manually hitting something with a projectile is far from easy/optimal but some people might appreciate this tip.

Affected Skills:
(Elixir Tosses, Orbital Strike, Grenade Barrage, Rocket, Throw Napalm and Med Pack Drop)

edit:
I also noticed that stun break toolbelt skills also work with static discharge when you break out of a stun, knockdown, …

Affected Skills:
(Healing Mist, Bypass Coating, Superspeed, Rumble)

Static discharge suprisingly seems to work everytime just fine with Rumble, Mine Field and Big Ol’ Bomb.

Video Proof

If you play with “action camera” on, static discharge will work properly with almost all skills but that is a non serious/playfull playstyle I guess.
