Lightning Staff Light Attack bug.

Hi all, I was just wondering if this was happening to you too: sometimes when you weave Force Pulse with lightning staff light attacks, the light attacks won't fire off at all. Bar swapping usually fixes this but, when you're trying to compare two DPS set-ups on Bloodspawn and the light attacks won't fire off, you'd kinda get mad. At least I did...
Is there a way to prevent this bug from happening or do you just have to suck it up and lose DPS for nothing?
Any help is appreciated!

    The only way I've found to counteract this (also experiencing this on all destro staves) is to hold the LA weave for a fraction of a second longer. Doing so seems to make the LA go off more consistently, but of course this means not getting through your rotation quite as quickly as normal

    I've had this happen to me too.

    My gut feeling is that is somewhat related to targeting, as in, the game not registering you have a valid target under your cursor despite it having something targeted and even force pulse firing correctly.

    I say this because more than one time when I had this light attack not firing issue, I solved it by moving the targeting reticle a bit so the game "sees" a valid target and light attacks start to fire.

    Of course, I'm talking only from my experience, and I could be misinterpreting what is happening.

    Thanks guys, I'll try the highlight target thing, because it has solved some Overload bugs, maybe it will solve the lightning staff issie too.
