My main is an elementalist, typically running staff. When trying to use Ice Bow in rapid skill combos, I have been experiencing the following:
Press # to activate Ice Bow utility
Click to place Ice Bow’s ground target
Immediately double tap #4 to place and activate Ice Bow’s AoE skill
When these four presses happen extremely rapidly, occasionally the Ice Bow will not spawn at all (either in my character’s hands or on the ground), and it will execute weapon skill #4 instead. Then, the Ice Bow and weapon skill #4 go into their cooldowns. I don’t know if it is related, but I have noticed this seems to happen exclusively while in Fire Attunement.
