    • A Chicken!!!
    • It was hilarious!

      In Tier 1 as people leveled up, you would suddenly hear "Pa-squaaaaaawk!" and they would become a chicken.

      It was really funny.

      Blizz would never do this.

      You are absolutely right -- facts are facts.

      Now ... here are some FACTS from the WoW FAQ:

      Cooldown
      Cooldown is the amount of time it takes before you can cast the same spell again. Once you have used an ability, a visual timer will appear over the ability's icon that indicates how much longer you must wait in order to use that ability again. Many spells and abilities are subject to the global cooldown, which affects all other spells and abilities for 1.5 seconds.

      A FACT from a Patch Note:

      Switching weapons in combat triggers a 1 second global cooldown for all abilities for rogues and a 1.5 second global cooldown for everyone else.

      More from the FAQ:

      Cooldown on Attacks, Spells, and Abilities
      While World of Warcraft has a real-time combat system, weapon users must wait their turn to swing again based on the delay or speed of their weapon. Likewise, casters must wait for the length of the spell's cooldown until they can cast a spell again. Many abilities have such cooldowns, and the length of any cooldowns are displayed on the ability's tooltip. However, many abilities with no listed cooldown are still subject to a 1.5 second cooldown that affects all of a character's abilities. This is known as the global cooldown. You will see this effect on your spell and skill icons as they simultaneously display the global cooldown after using an ability.

      ~~~

      FACT:  The WoW Global Cooldown is 1.5 seconds -- according to BLIZZARD.

      The fact that the GCD is different for Rogues and can be modified to be shorter does NOT change the FACT that the GCD is 1.5 seconds.  Those are just some exceptions to the rule.

      Blizzard states what the GCD is throughout the extensive FAQ section:  they say it's 1.5 seconds.    Do a freaking search!

      And .. GBTW.

      Weak attempt, Mr. Troll.

      They are called Content Addition Patches.  What did you think?  They were never going to add anything else to the game???
