quwone Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 What does it mean when a ability does not respect global cooldown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arinbatastini Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 In general there are abilities that share a cooldown. You can see it when you click an ability and the rest turn dark and slowly return to the correct color. Some abilities, like Vanguard Shoulder Cannon, do not turn dark with the rest of the abilities so you can use the ability at anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quwone Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Oh i see. I was wondering why i could not activate unity while in rotation. It just wouldn't pop while i was pressing something else. So now i see i have to actually stop my rotation to pop unity. Do i have that right and if i do that sucks ***.

Ryuku-sama Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Unity? Not sure which one that is. Solo PvE Legacy ability.... Not useable without your comp out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every defensive cooldown requires you to insert it into your rotation. Very few abilities do not respect the GCD. This is pretty much a non-issue. Unity is the defensive cooldown you get for hitting Light V that's only useable when you have a companion out. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arinbatastini Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Solo PvE Legacy ability.... Not useable without your comp out. Ah ya. That one. To the OP, that one doesn't work in PVP unless you are doing PVP in open world and have your companion (as another post said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikochoro Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Huh? Every DcD I can think of is off the GCD. I am pretty sure static barrier causes a global. And kolto shell. Probably because you place them on others as well as yourself. Edited January 22, 2015 by Saikochoro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are technically healing abilities, not DcDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saikochoro Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Those are technically healing abilities, not DcDs. Yeah I guess that's true. It would be nice if they didn't cause a global if applied to self though as they are an important defensive measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
