Cooldown

Cooldown is a keyword and means an interval to the next use, and is counted in time. The next use can be performed after cooldown time pass, except when there are stored uses.

Mechanic

Cooldown usually starts after some action end. The action could be attack speed, cast speed or throwing speed the first action to use skill. If cast speed is 1 second and cooldown is 4 second the next use of skill can be started after 5 seconds.

If there are stored uses, cooldown stacks after consuming uses of skill and do not overlaps.

Example: skill have 3 uses, cooldown is 8 second, then all uses can be consumed on demand, for example in 3 second. Cooldown stacks and each use of skill will be recovered after each cooldown end. In other words, all 3 uses will be recovered after all 3 cooldown ends, after 24 seconds (3 x 8 second), since start first cooldown.

The cooldown can be bypassed by specific mechanics depending on the skill e.g. Cold SnapCold SnapSpell, AoE, Cold, Duration
