The term '''cooldown''' is defined as a period of wait time before a [[spell]], [[ability]], or [[item]] [[power]] can be used after a prior spell, ability, or item power. Sometimes referred to by the pseudo-acronym "CD".

'''Lorna Crowley''' is the daughter of Lord [[Darius Crowley]], one of the principal leaders during the [[Gilneas civil war]].
−
For example:
  
−
* The time it takes to recharge after a spell has been cast or an ability or item power has started being used. You will not be allowed to cast another spell for the duration of the cooldown period. This is not the [[cast time]], and usually the cast time of a spell or ability is longer than the global cooldown, which means you can begin your next spell immediately after the cast is finished.
  
−
* A {{ability|Hearthstone}} has a 30 minute cooldown time.
  
   
  +
==Background==
−
The term '''cooldown''' can also refer to an ability with a long cooldown; for example, ''Save your cooldowns for boss fights.''
  
  +
Lorna aids the [[Worgen (playable)|Worgen adventurers]] in retaking [[Gilneas City]] after the first assault of the Forsaken. Later on, she will get explosives on an [[Gunship|Orc Gunship]] and [[Quest:Endgame|use it as a ram]] to destroy the Forsaken forward camp next to the [[Greymane Wall]].
   
  +
Following the [[Invasion of Gilneas]], Lorna joins her father as commander of the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]]. While stationed in [[Silverpine Forest]] she is captured by the now-[[forsaken]] [[Vincent Godfrey|Lord Godfrey]]. Lorna serves as the bargaining chip in the surrender of the Gilneas Liberation Front as [[Sylvanas Windrunner|Sylvanas]] gave Darius two choices; the surrender of the Gilneas Liberation Front or have Lorna turned into a member of the Forsaken. Darius, unwilling to allow such a fate to befall his daughter, agrees to the surrender, and Sylvanas allows them to flee towards the still contested territory of Gilneas.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h52qazuGWY</ref>

== Shared cooldown ==
  
−
A shared cooldown is when some spell, item or ability prevents usage of certain others while it is cooling down. It effectively applies the same cooldown to all those that it shares cooldown with.
  
   
  +
==Quests==
−
It is important to know if a spell or item has a shared cooldown, since that is much more limiting than an isolated cooldown. This usually means that you must choose wisely which to use, since you cannot use all within a short time period.
  
  +
[[File:Exodus Carriage.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Lorna standing on the carriage during the quest [[Quest:Exodus|Exodus]], along with the player, {{NPC||Marie Allen}} and a {{NPC||Duskhaven Watchman}}.]]
−
For instance, many potions share cooldown with other potions, and some of the warrior's abilities share cooldown, as well as hunter traps.

  +
*[[Quest:Message to Greymane]] {{queststart}}
   
  +
;In [[Duskhaven]]
−
Some abilities have multiple shared cooldowns. For instance the shaman's {{ability|Earth Elemental Totem}} can only be cast itself once every 20 minutes, can not be cast within 2 minutes of using a {{ability|Fire Elemental Totem}}, and triggers a 1 second global cooldown.

Warrior stance changes also fall under the shared cooldown category. Switching stances as a warrior prevents switching to another stance for 1 second but does not prevent the user of other abilities.

== Global cooldown ==
  
  +
*[[Quest:Flank the Forsaken]] {{questfinish}}
−
A global or universal cooldown, frequently shortened to "GCD", is the cooldown which starts every time you start to cast a spell, and it affects all of your class spells. There are exceptions to this, however, as noted below. The basic rule of thumb is that if the spell affects the casting of the next spell, it will not activate the global cooldown.
  
  +
*[[Quest:Liberation Day]] {{queststartfinish}}
  +
*[[Quest:Push Them Out]] {{queststartfinish}}
  +
*[[Quest:The Battle for Gilneas City]] {{queststartfinish}}
   
  +
In [[Gilneas City]]
−
If the spell has a casting time less than the global cooldown (or instant cast), you generally have to wait the remainder of the global cooldown. If a spell with [[casting time]] is interrupted before it has finished casting, the global cooldown will be canceled, meaning you can start casting a new one immediately.
  
  +
*[[Quest:The Hunt For Sylvanas]] {{queststartfinish}}
  +
*[[Quest:Vengeance or Survival]] {{queststart}}
   
  +
;At [[Keel Harbor]]
−
The global cooldown is generally 1.5 seconds for all classes except rogues, [[Cat Form]] druids, and death knights in [[Unholy Presence]], whose abilities are mostly one second global cooldown. Shaman totems also only trigger a one second global cooldown as well as warlock curses with [[Amplify Curse]] . The global cooldown affects the wait for the next ability, so using an item or ability with the standard 1.5 second cooldown will require waiting that long before a 1 second global cooldown ability can be used.

I heeded your advice from last week to board up my windows and buy a reinforced door. None too soon, either: the [[Starlight Slasher]] struck a household not two blocks from my own last night. I inquired with the authorities at the scene about what they're doing to reign in the murder spree, but they didn't even grant me a second glance, waving me off with the usual "Stay off the streets and lock your door!" I know most of them don't trust me, but they're not proving to be trustworthy themselves, either.

Well, I'm not one to sit around, waiting to get dragged off in the middle of the night! I've started training the mastiff pups I bought from [[Rupert]] on a lark last month to track a scent, and they've taken to it quite well. They'll make fine hunting and guard dogs soon, so I'll be happy to pass on off to you once they're able to track a scent decently: they're right pleasant company, it'll help your young ones sleep better. That's at least a month off, though, so just consider the offer for now.

==Cooldown and usage theory==

Lorna Crowley }}<ref>''[[The Art of Cataclysm]]'' ,60</ref>
−
The cooldown determines how often something (spell, ability, or item) may be used. Specifically, it has an inverse relationship to how many times per fight it may be used.
 
   
  +
==Notes==
−
For example, a druid should never use {{ability|Rebirth}} in the post-encounter resurrection. The druid resurrection spell is on a 20 minute timer and should be used in emergencies only, such as when it can prevent a wipe.
  
  +
Despite being from Gilneas and involved with the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]], Lorna shows no signs of being afflicted by the Worgen curse. Indeed, during their confrontation in [[Quest:Cities in Dust]], Sylvanas specifically points this out to Darius, asking him why he did not offer his blood to her to make her a worgen (and thus immune to val'kyr resurrection) if he truly cared for her. It is likely because he did not want his daughter to be afflicted with the Curse of the Worgen, as he is.

[[Item]]s with cooldowns are simply items that have limit on how often you can use them.
  
   
  +

For example {{item|Major Healing Potion}} has a 2 minute cooldown, so it can be used just once every 2 minutes. The average cooldown is 2 or 5 minutes, but they range from 10 seconds to 3 hours (like {{loot|Uncommon|Signet of Expertise}}) to 3 days at the longest. These items can be equipped in a variety of slots or used from the backpack.

== Internal cooldowns ==
  
−
A internal cooldown is the cooldown on several abilities usually found on items. It exists as a regulator to prevent specific chance-to-[[proc]] abilities from being active at all times. One example is {{item|Pendulum of Telluric Currents}} which has a 10% chance to proc and a 45 internal cooldown. When it does proc, there will be 45 seconds before it can do so again. Internal cooldowns vary in duration, but the most common is 45 seconds as with the Pendulum of Telluric Currents.
  
−  
−
Internal cooldowns are often hard to perceive and measure. This is because the description of the item which holds the ability rarely tells if there is any cooldown on the ability, nor how long any possible cooldown is. As a result, internal cooldowns are often mentioned as "'''hidden cooldowns'''". Because of this, the cooldown of an item's ability is usually discovered via player testing in-game. It is important to know the internal cooldown of an item's ability since it highly affects how powerful the item is. One example is {{item|Darkmoon_Card:_Greatness_(Agility)|Darkmoon Card: Greatness}}. It has a 35% chance to proc, a 15 seconds duration and a 45 seconds internal cooldown. If there were no cooldown, players would be able to refresh the duration via procs over and over, enjoying a nearly permanent effect from this item. Applying the cooldown will reduce the time the effect is active to 33% possible uptime (as 15 is 33% of 45), which in comparison reduces the item's performance with almost 70%.

Lorna Crowley is the daughter of Lord Darius Crowley, one of the principal leaders during the Gilneas civil war.

Background

Lorna aids the Worgen adventurers in retaking Gilneas City after the first assault of the Forsaken. Later on, she will get explosives on an Orc Gunship and use it as a ram to destroy the Forsaken forward camp next to the Greymane Wall.

Following the Invasion of Gilneas, Lorna joins her father as commander of the Gilneas Liberation Front. While stationed in Silverpine Forest she is captured by the now-forsaken Lord Godfrey. Lorna serves as the bargaining chip in the surrender of the Gilneas Liberation Front as Sylvanas gave Darius two choices; the surrender of the Gilneas Liberation Front or have Lorna turned into a member of the Forsaken. Darius, unwilling to allow such a fate to befall his daughter, agrees to the surrender, and Sylvanas allows them to flee towards the still contested territory of Gilneas.[1]
