Ranger Miss shot problem

Although the archer character doesn't have a piercing ability, it often pierces through enemies, and sometimes the arrows I shoot just miss the enemy without dealing any damage. Especially with the lightning bolt skill, which strikes with lightning after hitting, this skill often, if not always, misses the enemy and explodes behind them because it goes right through them. I would appreciate it if you could fix the accuracy issue.

And did you mean POE 2 character? as you only have one Level 1 Ranger
in POE 1

This is the poe 1 bug report forum.

I only answere, because this is true for both poe 1 and 2

It is not a bug, it's just how accuracy works. If you shoot an arrow, and it collides with a target, you make an accuracy roll, and if you miss, your projectile continues trough that enemy without hitting him. If that arrow than collides with another target, it rolls accuracy again, and might hit.

So everything works as intended, and I don't know why I even have to explain accuracy, because this is how it works in the majority of all isometric action rpgs....
