When I am playing as disc and holy, Smite is no longer triggering the global cooldown and I can't precast it. If I try to precast, it just fizzles out and I have to wait and then recast it in order for it to trigger. This was happening in beta and the only way around the issue was to create a new priest. I obviously do not want to do that.
Prior to this morning about an hour ago, Smite was casting correctly in both specs.
probably an addon my disc is casting fine
People are saying if you are using a 1 handed weapon. that is the problem. It is happening to me also i am using a wand and a off hand

Same for me. When using a 1-handed weapon, Smite looks like it triggers a mini-global cooldown at the end of its cast (which makes chain casting it -really- difficult). But, this doesn't happen when using a 2-handed weapon.
Thanks so much, guys! This definitely solved the problem. Now, I just need to find a good quality two hander.
This is happening with my priest as well - only with a wand equipped.
Yeah I hadn't heard of this happening with one-handers in general, but definitely have seen complaints about wands specifically causing these issues.
Thank you for this thread. I picked up a nice wand recently, equipped it, and now I am seeing this exact issue with "Smite". I thought I was going crazy, but definitely knew something had changed. As others have mentioned, this bug throws my timing off and is a bit frustrating.
I had been using a 1-handed mace before the wand dropped and don't recall seeing this issue with the mace and an off-hand.

THANK YOU! This validates what I am seeing too. I thought it was ever since I got the pet dino but it is when I switched from one hander to a wand + offhand. This is an incredibly annoying bug and breaks the flow of casting.
So is this a known bug, or is this a feature?
Using a Staff fixes the bug. I have to use a 325 Staff instead if my 345 Wand. Please fix!
