Potential bug or maybe bad design for skills with multicharges?

So yesterday I got Rouge to 62 lvl and got unique Bow which grant me +1 charge on smoke bomb and +1 charge on Shift, now if i hold my smoke bomb button for more than 0.5 sec it throws 2 smoke bombs instantaneously and same happens with shift. I played many games with charges on specific skill and you are always required to press that button again to use second charge rather than just long pressing it. It is not even long as I mentioned, if I accidently press button harder it use 2 charges immediately.
So is this a bug or it is how it is designed to work?

Uhm … don’t hold down the button?

So I should work around the bug/bad design ? Well i already unbind my left click and only using for accepting quests as it keep using my flurry skill while interacting with NPCs. Guess I will just leave for now rather than try to fit in game full of bugs and community being dumb enough to tell its a player’s fault for not accommodating.

The problem existed in 0.8.4. I haven’t tested recently tho, but I assume it’s still there.
You press the skill button once and somehow the skill is casted twice, consuming two charges. This is particularly annoying if the skill has long cool down time.

Yes it still there my rouge was shifting like crackhead all over the map even if i press button once but if i hold button it cast twice anyways. They need to make ability casted once per button press. There is a reason it is called charges, not channeling.

No, that’s a bug. Though i thought it was supposed to be fixed in one of the recent patches.

Lotsa things were supposed to be fixed.

Lots of things have been fixed but that doesn’t mean every cause of any given bug has been fixed.

Hey, at least you admit there are a loooot of things still buggy and stopped the braindead mantra: eArLy aCcESs GaMe

But what would you expect from an early access game? It has lots of bugs and they constantly fix lots of bugs, as you can see from the patch area of the forum.

Just saw MTX Shop is coming soon, so surely they fixed this bug now? I want to continue playing my char again if bug is fixed in this early access game.

This is common behaviour for all abilities with charges. The same way holding down any other key will continuously cast the skill bound if it doesn’t have a cooldown. Skill charge cooldowns operate independently from each other so using it once doesn’t put the other charges on cooldown.

Getting an item that adds charges to a skill means you have to change how you use that skill because as you’ve discovered, holding the key will make you cast it again.
