Hellfire Ring Will Not Cast in Succesion

Any time I try to cast Hellfire Ring after a different encounter power....it won't cast. The character animation will play out, but it won't cast the spell. Sometimes I can cast up to three times without it working. This only occurs when casting after another encounter power, if I cast Hellfire Ring first it works just fine.

    Happends to me too, even if the character makes the animation + that sound with it.
    But it only happening sometimes for me tho.

    It does have an odd animation to get used to, it can also be canceled easily if your not careful. If you hit hellfire ring then immediately hit killing flames you will cancel your hellfire ring.

    On the other hand, there are cooldown bugs in play as well where it looks like the power is ready to fire but it's actually still on cooldown. You can attempt to hit it 3-4 times then finally it comes off cooldown and fires properly. I notice this issue mainly on my fighter and shield throw. I try to toss my shield like 10 times before it finally works. This is because the power is on cooldown but shows available in my powers tray. Usually following another encounter!

    Now with that said, my main is an SW and I've not had this issue with hellfire ring on him. I HAVE had this trouble with blades of vanquished armies though!

    Would someone be able to provide a video of this happening to them? Thanks!

    This right here feels spot on with the situation. After your better description, I do want to clarify that it seems to happen more often in a rotation, rather than the very first cast of the spell after a different one.
