Cold Snap not casting

Hi,

So it happened twice.
I wanted to test Cold Snap since I used it in 2013 and was not convinced, now with Vaal Cold Snap I am pretty sure I will keep it.
Though, twice, I tried to cast the spell and it did not appear. but the CD triggered. My char was encircled by mobs, which would make me think I was interrupted.

Which is possible. But for this character as for all my characters, it never happened to me. I mean, being interrupted does not trigger the CD right ? This time I was testing the Vaal Cold Snap + ES Leech support (I just wrote a topic for that in the Gameplay category) and let mysef encircle by monsters to test the effects. Cold Snap hasn't been cast but the CD triggered, which made me panic a bit. That's ok.

As I haven't experienced this problem with any other char nor skills, I thought I may report this, in case people had the same issue. I don't know if this is a bug but if it is related to Cold Snap it may be useful that I report my bad experience.

If this is useless then just forgive me. I will pay more attention next time to see if it happens again.

when you get "interrupted" the skill can not be cast but BECAUSE you did start the cast sequence, then CD is activated.

Also this post have nothing to do with a TECH issue. Either you want to report a bug and put it into the bug section, or you are asking a game "question" and therefor put it into the game help section....

I have seen this bahavior on many skill however depending on your build type, you may be more or less inclined to get "interrupted".

Hi,
Sorry for late reply.
Yes, as I've said, this have not happened before in any of my years of gameplay, for any character, for any skills. I clarify : I usually "know" when I'm interrupted, I use often CD skills, and some spammable ones, but for the CD ones I never had this issue, generally the character begins an animation for casting the skills/spell and mana points are consumed, which, for this particular one, was not the case.
That's why I "know" it may be an issue. At least, I'm no expert in animation and graphical engines (I'm more of a core programer) , but I believe you cannot get interrupted if the character has not began the skill casting animation, I mean, it even did not consume mana points... so... I don't know dude.

I think this might be an issue so I posted it there and it has been moved. I just wanted to know if other players had this issue. I may be wrong in my asumptions though.
