Guild Wars 2

Recently after the patch went live, I faced this issue whereby activating skills hotkeyed to mouse buttons with modifiers auto-triggers another skill. Before I explain further, let me give you a breakdown on my keybindings:

mouse button 3 >>>>>>>>> Healing skill
left shift + mouse button 3 >> Utility skill 1
mouse button 4 >>>>>>>>> Utility skill 2
mouse button 5 >>>>>>>>> Utility skill 3
left shift + mouse button 5 >> Elite skill

Here’s the issue:

When I hit “left shift + mouse button 5” for elite skill, it auto-triggers my utility skill 3.

When I hit “left shift + mouse button 3” for utility skill 1, it auto-triggers my healing skill.

Initially I thought my left shift was faulty, so I replaced the modifier from left shift to left alt instead. It didn’t resolve the issue. It was still behaving the same way.

Then I tried experimenting with left control instead of left shift. Still no luck as well. I thought, maybe it could be my mouse buttons that is wonky. So I swapped mouse button combinations/modifier keys and I’m still auto-triggering skills. I relogged, same issue. I restarted my computer and same issue still!

Maybe there was something wrong with the game itself after the patch. I asked a friend to try mapping his utility skills to mouse buttons + modifer keys (he doesn’t bind his skills, which I have no idea on how he can play without binding) and he is able to replicate the same issue as well.

Question is, anyone else facing the same issue? Can we confirm that it’s a bug?

same problem here, after today’s patch.

Same problem. Started today.

there is already a thread talking about this here, that is a little older. I think we should focus everything in on thread to push the issue.

I’m having the same issue. It’s nice seeing that Anet is working on a solution though, thanks!
