Wait what? Winter orb just doesn't get CD? Sound like a bug.
It does get the cooldown. A cooldown prevents you using the skill again, it doesn't interrupt your use of it before it's finished.
edit for better example:
Compare putting fireball in black zenith linked to spell totem support, to putting worb in black zenith linked to spell totem support.
fireball: placing the totem inherits the 4 second cd, and the totem itself casts fireball only every 4 seconds.
worb: placing the totem skips the 4 second cd via a bug, and the totem itself channels continuously. If it stops channeling, it waits 4 seconds before starting again.
There are two halves to the behavior, placing the totem, and the behavior of the totem once placed. Mark, you're saying that the totem works as intended once placed. I agree. However, placing the totem is completely bugged with winter orb.
Yes, that is a bug, and I have confirmed the behaviour and the cause of this bug for future fixing. Using a totemified channelled skill should be consuming the cooldown to use the skill, and is not.
Will this bug fix be in 3.17.x or 3.18.0? (I would assume a fair number of people have started investing in it and doesn't appear to be truly game breaking)
It'll be fixed in 3.17.x
