Weapons with built-in bounce effect don't work consistently in my game

[Not So Clever Hound]

Hi folks,

I've always assumed that Fire in the Hole and Watershaper's Focus work as intended with regards to the +1 Bounce effect built-in those weapons.

Because I always have a lot going on in terms of attack rolls when I use those bad boys (using Powder Burns or Blast plus martial abilities with several attack components), the tooltip is usually a mess and I never thoroughly checked that their bounce was indeed working.

Today it bothered me and I just did about 30mn of testing in various situations with the 2 weapons: I can't make the bounce happen consistently and I can't find out why. The bounce triggers maybe in 10% of cases, regardless of enemy placement, character using the weapon, martial ability or autoattack... What am I missing? Does it work fine for you?

Thanks!
