When I trigger a penetration shot and move with my left mouse click while the monster is still alive, my character shoots another penetration shot.
This is annoying when I am trying to kite or build up combo points before my next shot.
Anyone know a fix?

Use force-move instead of the mouse to move?
I’ve tried this. Unfortunately it still shoots a shot
Experiencing the same issue myself, when right click to use forceful arrow to start building combo points again it automatically fires penetrating shot

Yeah, I’m noticing this bug is happening numerous times myself as I play

This bug is happening constantly to me. When I shoot a penetrating shot, if I quickly left click to move or shoot a forceful arrow it shoots twice

I knew something was off. This was happening to me constantly last night in some big fights, but wasn’t sure if I just wasn’t letting go of the button fast enough.
Just started playing this ability and noticed the same. A second shot happens even though my very next input is a move command. For extra context I have move and interact bound to left click and pen shot on right click. Sometimes after firing with right click then clicking on the opposite side of the screen with left click this move away command seems to register as fire an additional pen shot at the same target.

Can we get some visibility on this bug, it is very crippling/annoying to this build/style

Same here, hope to get it fixed quickly, it’s really spoiling the gameplay.

Yep I’m having the same issue. Penetrating shot often fires twice and is actually ruining my fun… please fix this devs. Thanks.

Bump, this is happening with other range abilities like rapid fire as well.

I ended up switching from P. Shot to a Rapid Fire build because of this bug.
It doesn’t matter if Force Move or Left Click is used, it 50% of the time just shoots another shot for some reason.
What makes this even worse, is that unintended shot chews up an available imbuement.

This definitely isn’t isolated to Penetrating Shot, I came here because it’s happening to me with Rapid Fire.

Still happening toe almost aevery time, I’m playing on PC and whenever I right click, it shoots twice wasting my imbue. Blizzard seems to ignore the problem or they don’t know how to fix it.

It’s terrible. I finally decided to roll a Rogue and it’s just unplayable, standing in place for a 2nd shot can easily result in death. Rebinding the key to something else doesn’t help either, the skill itself seems completely bugged.

Like others have said it happens with other ranged abilities as well. I noticed it originally on Penn shot but it happens on barrage and rapid fire as well. Pretty much ruins the flow of combat and imbuements.

Still happening. My rogue is constantly firing off a 2nd rapid shot for no reason. This happens with regular shots as well. you could be firing at something and then when you go to move / click to move, your character keeps firing for no reason as if you are hold the Hold Position / Shift button still.
Its some sort of RTT latency bug between players issuing commands and the server bouncing it back. Im pretty sure this is related in a way to many other bugs that are affected by the games multi-instance layers since this game is constantly in a dynamic state to “balance the game play” between different tiered level players. It works in Guild Wars 2 because the zones are locked to a specific level range so it scales the player to that range, this game does the opposite to keep the instances populated.

This bug has been in the game since release! This is ridiculous.

It’s not just a Pen Shot issue, I’ve have had this happen with every core ability on every class with controllers. I’ve tried Xbox S, PS5, and a 3rd party Switch controller in every combination of wired, 2.4, and Bluetooth. It’s not my PC because the issue happens on my laptop as well, something is completely effed with this game.
