If you do, it becomes invaluable, as a dead Ghoul is a large portion of your dps down the drain (due to 30 seconds of absolutely zero Ghoul damage,

unholy should incur a 30s CD from the time ghoul dies, not from when ghoul is summoned.

Just throwing this out there, while I can definitely see this as a bug, it sure has been fun doing AoE pulls in dungeons and doing a hard-cast corpse explosion, then re-summoning and doing another hard-cast corpse explosion back to back (after giving the ghoul enough time to actually spawn and not dropping diseases). It's some hilariously brutal AoE burst damage when stacked with Death and Decay and your typical Unholy Disease damage.

Comments on blight club suggest it's fixed ![Uploading Screenshot_20221111_125949.jpg…]()

Nah, only a successful ghoul corpse explode puts ghoul on 30s cd. Any other means of death do not put the ghoul on cd.

As a sidenote, ghoul abilities no longer reset cd IN OPEN WORLD / IN BATTLEGROUNDS. Random change. but NOT IN ARENA.

[Rallik-Pog]

ghoul cd's are not supposed to reset on resummon.

Gargoyle also doesn't come straight down to the ground level on summon, as well as death grip pulling players in front of wherever the DK is facing instead of melee range.

ghoul cd's are not supposed to reset on resummon.

Any evidence / source material for this?

Ghoul's CD do supposed to reset on resummon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufVSmB_hH0s Dk use Gnaw+CE at 2:50, ghoul gets resummoned at 3:33 with Gnaw w/o CD Similar to https://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=160059 (3:11-3:50) Not sure if it's reported but it's bugged in current build.

Pet abilities are resetting only in arenas, as they did back then

@CharWS Raise dead still doesn't go on cooldown after death pact or pet kill

[knasen88]

still bugged, doesn't go on CD. Allegedly it does if you corspe explode it so they "partially" fixed it, but main issue is still there.

[knasen88]

patch 3.1 @CharWS

• Raise Dead: Duration lowered to 60 seconds and cooldown lowered to 3 minutes. The cooldown on this ability now begins when the pet dies rather than when it is summoned.
