Summary	0019611: [Zealot] Harbinger of Doom activation delay causes issues with correct ability heal/damage calculation.
Description	Reporter: Zomega-WAR <!-- Issues should be unique. Check if someone else reported the issue first, and please don't report duplicates. Only ONE issue in a report. Don't forget screens or a video. --> Expected behavior and actual behavior: Harbinger of Doom is an instant cast self buff that converts your stats. It does not trigger the GCD, nor is it affected by it. This allows you to activate HoD and then very quickly activate another ability. Expected: as HoD was activated before the other ability, the stats should be converted first and then the ability used after HoD should use the newly updated stats. Actual: HoD actually has a delay before it updates stats (I am wondering if this delay is based on when it was a damage dealing ability?), so if you quickly press HoD and - for example, Flash of Chaos, then Flash of Chaos actually activates first using the original stats, and then afterwards HoD actually triggers and subsequent abilities use the updated stats. This is difficult to reliably test for all abilities as flight time also seems to affect it, but casing Flash on yourself right after activating HoD should trigger the bug. The fix: The activation delay for HoD needs to be removed to ensure it always updates the stats ready for whatever ability is cast afterwards, even if that cast is almost instant. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1) Be Zealot 2) Toggle HoD on/off to fix stats (this is part of another bug) 3) Target self, use Flash of Chaos, record heal value. 4) Target self, turn on HoD and immediately use FoC the moment after you press the button for HoD. The heal value will use the pre-HoD stats. 5) Target self, cast FoC again. The heal should now be lower as it's using the updated stats where willpower/etc have been converted to their damage versions. The delay can also be witnessed just by pressing the button for Harbinger of Doom and seeing the delay that occured before the button updates to showing as toggled on.
