Zahl-ship trait invincible bugs gdf

Loved the idea of the trait and got me a zahl-ship immediately but sadly the trait (while kind of working) does not only lock out gdf for its duration but for much much longer. It seems like its only getting reactivated by dying or map-change.

While i dont really mind gdf being locked FOR THE DURATION (8s) I do mind it not getting reactivated after.

Pls fix. Thx.

    The reason GDF is unavailable, is that you're technically flagged as "Unkillable" while Invincible is off cooldown. Having GDF unavailable while you are Unkillable is a safeguard against cheating the system.

    For now, this is working as expected. But maybe we can find a more equitable way to restrict this interaction, in the future.

    What's the cheating potential or abuse of activating GDF while unkillable? The GDF condition is already there anyway; and Invincible does not provide any bonuses to damage. You can still activate GDF before becoming Unkillable, so any potential exploit (if any) is already possible to achieve.

    EDIT: oh I see. Convenience to be able to activate GDF at 0% and achieve maximum damage bonus. Still don't see how this can be game-breaking since you can still hit GDF at 6% or so.​​

    Okay but that would mean I should be able to use gdf while invicible is ON cooldown which is what I was talking about because I cant use gdf right after it goes on cd.


    Edit: must have been laggy that day now it works as borticus described sey for the mistake

    Zombies need to DPS, too.
