Cold Snap sometimes misses

On occasion when I am fighting strong enemies or bosses, I have noticed that cold snap will sometimes miss the target unless directly hovering them at the time of use.

This is particularly notable when using the support that adds a cooldown, as when attempting to boss and then snap them when frozen they are often STILL frozen afterwards and didn't lose the nice big chunk of health they should have even tho the skill is on cooldown.

The issue is significantly less notable when using unleash, as it means that even if the primary cast does miss the repeats would hit, however you obviously want the primary skill use to hit so full damage is dealt and not lose 50% of your payoff skill damage.

Please fix the targeting.

I can confirm this.

Cold snap fails to proc on frozen targets quite often. It seems like the frozen target becomes imune or untargetable for Cold snap. When the frozen target is bugged this way I can try to consume freeze as many times as I can but I cant get any procs at all.

Sometimes is even possible to see the ice tearing down from target at the moment Cold snap is cast but witout any damage at all and target remaining still.

It happens both with direct targeting or AoE through Frost bold.

Frequency between 20-30% of all casts as a rough estimate. It is easily replicable as well.


Thanks for your attention
