Rain of Arrows only ticks twice?

I posted this in the Technical Issues & Bugs forum but didn't get much of a response.

The power description says it should be hitting each target three times. Instead, my combat log looks like this:

Rain of Arrows: HIT PPD Shell! Your RainofArrows power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 80.00.
Rain of Arrows: You hit PPD Shell for 117.6 points of lethal damage!
Rain of Arrows: You hit PPD Shell for 117.6 points of lethal damage!

That's it. The enemy did not die from the damage. There was only one hit roll for the single enemy I was testing it against.


About half the time, the combat log looks like this:

Rain of Arrows: MISSED Raserei Ubermenschen Fire!! Your RainofArrows power had a 80.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 94.77.
Rain of Arrows: HIT Raserei Ubermenschen Fire! Your RainofArrows power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 73.86.
Rain of Arrows: You hit Raserei Ubermenschen Fire for 180.59 points of lethal damage!
Rain of Arrows: You hit Raserei Ubermenschen Fire for 180.59 points of lethal damage!

That first miss ALWAYS misses with an 80% chance to hit. I have a 95% chance to hit against blue con minions, so I know something strange is going on here. I do not have any powers running or anything proccing that could affect my chance to hit. The enemies did not debuff me. It always says 80% with a miss when this pops into the combat log.

I have watched my combat log for at least 20 attempts tonight and I did not get three hits with Rain of Arrows a single time.

A powerset's best attack should not be bugged like this. I could be doing 50% more damage if it was working as it says it should in the detailed info.



Can anyone confirm if it is doing 3 ticks of damage for you? Does anyone else have the issue with it doing only two ticks of damage?

It sounds odd, but I experienced the same thing when I first got the skill. By the time I was level 35 and had it fully slotted with accuracy, it almost never seemed to happen again.

Were you by chance level 32 and had just received the skill when testing?

It is actually on my Defender, but I figured I would ask here, given the higher forum activity. My defender is currently 42 (was 41 when testing) and the power has been slotted with 4 standard IOs since I hit level 39. As far as I know, only the damage should be different between defender and blaster. The mechanics of the power should be the same.
