Not how I remembered it, I remembered the buffs shared the Global Cooldown but they never 'triggered' the cool down. You were forced to wait for cooldown to go away after a weaponskill but buff to weaponskill was fluid, at least for me. What this tells me is now the ability don't trigger nor share time withe GCD, so you can use one right after firing off a weaponskill.
Edit: Beaten ish.
Ok well that equates to almost the same thing in my eyes, regardless of where you use the buff you shouldn't be left waiting IMO otherwise it just comes across stilted and convoluted.
I can't say for certain how buff to skill worked as I can't remember
, but I do remember thinking these buffs shouldn't be locked out like this and I am guessing its what they have fixed.
Edit:- Actually I remember now, you are right that you could go buff > skill fairly quickly but in many cases for me the buff wouldn't take effect, I assume this could have been a latency issue though.
