Unable to Use Skills after Being Revived

Bug Description:
While playing Path of Exile 2 using a controller on PC, I consistently encounter an issue where, upon death and revival, there is a high chance (~80%) that I become unable to use any skills that target enemies. The skill bar UI appears greyed out as if the character is in town, rendering offensive abilities like Perfect Strike unusable. Movement-based skills like Leap Slam remain greyed out visually but can still be activated.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the game and log in.
2. Select any character.
3. Enter any zone or map.
4. Engage enemies and/or a boss.
5. Die and have a friend revive you.
6. Observe the controller UI skill bar – all skills are greyed out and cannot be used.

Expected Result:
Upon revival, all equipped skills should be functional, and the skill bar should not appear greyed out.

Actual Result:
After reviving, the skill bar remains greyed out, and enemy-targeting skills are unusable. Only certain skills (e.g., Leap Slam) function despite appearing greyed out.

Additional Notes:
- This issue only occurs when using a controller setup.
- It appears to trigger specifically after dying and being revived, not during normal zone transitions or logout/login.
- Estimated to occur 8 out of 10 times after death.
- Workaround: Teleporting to town and returning to the instance resets the skill bar, restoring functionality.
