Are you supposed to be able to fire while moving? (Soldier)

I just started out a new Soldier for the first time, and the first thing I noticed is, for whatever reason, I can run around while I use Single Shot and Burst. Is this a feature of the powers? Or is it just a bug? Honestly, I like it. It makes the fighting feel a bit more dynamic.

Probably bug. Here's another thread on it, with an unfortunately much less descriptive title than yours.

Almost definitely a bug. I just started one yesterday and found the same thing. I'm pretty sure I heard Positron and Castle say that EVERY power should root you when firing it, as otherwise it permits kiting in both PvE and PvP. Probly pretty low priority for them to fix, though. I just don't like that Soldier animations are broken by Ninja Run being toggled on.

I noticed the same thing with my AR/Trap corruptor. I could run while burst was going off.

I wish it wasn't a bug. That was making me gain some interest in my old toon again.

Looks like it's been handled on the test servers. Live still has no root on burst and SS.
