Guild Wars 2

I was unable to find anything using the search.

My problem is sometimes I’ll be attacking something (usually with ranger short bow) but this is happening on other class/weapons too.

My auto attack will stop attacking, then I’ll click ‘1’ again and it will shoot once. Then I click ‘1’ again and it will shoot once again. It’s like my AK-47’s gone from automatic to single fire – and is very annoying.

There’s an option in the settings to not stop auto attacking when a target is changed or something – I’ve tried that but still getting this issue.

If anyone has any info on this please let me know.

Are you hitting a normal mob or what? Because sometimes i get the same thing for example attacking dredge machines or something like that, i sometimes need to press 1 for each strike.

It’s mobs of any type and also players in PVP

For me it only seems to happen when i am shooting while moving

I have only found that to occur if I lose my targeting ring. I dont think it’s a true bug. If I lose line of sight or only “look” in the mob direction to fire then I lose or never establish my auto-attack.

Just to clarify, when I then click ‘1’ again, it will do one single shot and not continue to auto attack. So I’m reduced to clicking for each attack after that.

Are you attacking at the very max range? If you are as far as you can be when trying to hit the mob/boss it’s same the problem with every ranged weapon, to fix that you just need to move a step or two closer and the auto-attack should start working again. I’ve noticed this in TA end-bosses quite often. x.x
