[2021] Smoke bomb breaks lethal cadence

I tested this and I didn’t experience any loss of damage when dropping Smoke Bomb. Lethal Cadence was working correctly and my third strikes from damaging abilities were being boosted correctly. Can you post a screenshot of your Smoke Bomb tree?

As for Smoke Bomb procing Lethal Cadence, this is because Smoke Bomb it’s counted as an unique ability trigger. For example, the same interaction happens with Flow in Bladedancer where using Smoke Bomb would help with building up your combo. I believe the intention of this design is that can benefit from this by using it in a combo such as purposely cast it during the first or second stack and using a damage ability during the third.
