Default CA's Double attacking?

I've asked about this a couple times, but always i get the same answers, everyone tells me a CA cannot double attack, well i notice this happening to me alot, not as much as regular auto double attack. I'm wondering if this happens to anyone else, i'll post a pic of Rain of arrows double attacking to help prove what i'm talking about.



As you can see, i shoot off ROA at first, it hits, my auto attack goes off, then immediately it fires off again on the same mob followed by another auto attack, eventually i ended up dying cuz that kinda drew aggro on a couple of the add's to me hehe. But i just wanted to throw this out there to see if this is a bug, cuz if it is, it's a nice bug, good dps booster. I've seen this happen on almost all my ranged combat arts. Like i said, it doesnt happen very often but on a raid, i can see it happen up to 10times on various CA's. Does this happen to anyone else?

Hmm, that's really strange.

You had Curse of Insanity on you which damaged you after your first Rain of Arrows went off. Curse of Insanity will often "interrupt" whatever CA you were casting upon completion since it deals damage to you at the same time your CA is damaging the mob. The game will automatically start casting your CA over from the beginning since this is how the game mechanic for interrupts works. Perhaps the game didn't properly register that Rain of Arrows was down after the first attack, allowing it to go off twice? It seems like autoattack shouldn't have been able to go off since the CA instantly starts recasting, but if something is bugged here, who knows?

I haven't noticed this and I double checked this with my logs and ACT. Imported the log for the last 10 days and just checked Veiled Fire and Rain of Arrows to see if either of these went of more than once without a proper recast delay inbetween. I didn't find any double attacks on these two CAs.

true, curse of insanity was on me, but this was just the most recent instance of it that i finally decided to screenshot, for some reason i get this alot in all kinds of situations. Like other day i was in Loping plains, i shot off Culling at the Corpuspasm guy cuz he was up, it hit, then auto attack then it went off again. am i the only one this bug happens to?

I have had this happen several times on Mad Tzikla, which also uses Curse. One of the screenshots of it, well, the damage spam anyways.

Curse is super buggy. They really need to fix what it does to Surveillance.

Have you seen this type of CA doubling text without curse on you?

Nope, not that I recall anyways. The four or five times I noticed it was all during various Mad Tzikla fights.
