Basically some skills e.g Throw Napalm and Orbital Strike (both of them are belt skills), that are ground targeted, doesn’t get cast “queued” after one another. Because of this I’m having trouble setting up combos like Orbital Strike followed by Throw Napalm. The skills itself work fine but I always have to button smash to cast the Napalm right after the Orbital Strike. But some skills like the elite mortar kit skills, can be sorta “queued”. As in I can press the Mortar Shot skill again while the previous is still casting and it then casts it right after the first (without delay).

I’m using the fast ground targetting (“fast with range indicator”), but it seems it’s not related to the targeting method.

Has anyone else even noticed this? I find it kinda annoying because it often messes up my combos.

After further testing it seems it only happens on engineers tool belt skills. I can queue them after any other skill (grounded or not) but after any tool belt skill I’m unable to quickly cast anything else in succession.

Do you have Static Discharge on? if so that’s the issue, it adds another skill after use taking up the queue spot I assume. There are issues with skill queues for any ability that “casts” another ability after it as I understand it.

Thanks for the answer. I just tested it and it really seems like the Static Discharge was causing it (and other similiar effects will probably cause it too).

But the problem still exists. All we can probably do is hope that Anet fixes this issue. But considering how minor bug/glitch this is, it probably wont’ be fixed.
