| Summary | 0022609: Moving abilities on the hot bar removes their cooldown timer |
|---|
| Description | Discovered this after respeccing in a fort and using abilities before repositioning them.
First use involved martyrs blessing on the warrior priest:
If you are in combat so as to get the 3 second "silence" when you move abilities, that 3 second count down will replace any normal cooldown, meaning you can spam any ability, BG/SM be damned.
This works on all classes as long as you are in combat to get the 3 second "pause" after moving an ability.
Sure, were you to abuse this you would need your hot bar unlocked and be at risk of losing an ability, but that is minimal and the ability to just cycle any and all abilities every 3 seconds with a short pause for refresh is clearly broken. |
|---|
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Get in combat
2. Unlock hot bar
3. Use ability with a cool down
4. When ability used or even during channel, move the ability to another point on the hot bar, ie the next one
5. 3 second delay will overwrite the original cool down 100% of the time |
|---|
| Additional Information | In the below image, I demonstrate this with Unstoppable wrath, the warrior priest snare break immunity ability, while in combat with a spider in TM.
The abilities work as normal when abused like this, with one exception where I used martyrs blessing during a test before the initial animation fully finished and I got a full cool down with no cast, but that is hard to reproduce. This method is basically 100% repeatable and reliable. |
