Can't reuse Divine Shield item.

I have made an item with a Divine Shield ability and for some reason I can only cast it once. Then I have to drop the item and pick it back up again, which resets the cooldown, then when it is cooled down I can cast it again. If I change the ability to something else like Chain Lightning it works normally. What is special about Divine Shield?

And in case you are wondering the duration is 6 seconds and the cooldown is 60, and besides, Invulnerable is one of the targets allowed for Divine Shield naturally so the issue isn't the ability blocking itself. At least not in any way that makes sense.

Nothing, in my experience. Double check all ability parameters to make sure you aren't doing anything silly.

Ah, I remember this happening to me. I thought that Divine Shield would work normally, but instead my heroes only got to use the item once and even when the cooldown came back, I could never use it again.

It is rather strange. I thought this had already been addressed but I guess not.

If it's true, could you not use triggers to remove/add the item from the inventory instantaneously and thus work around the issue?

Strange, I saw no mention of this problem by other people on the forum. Ya I guess I will do the trigger thing then.

Divine Shield is rather special.
But saying that, all abilities are unique (well most).

But Divine Shield you have may have to be de-activated, because divine shield can be turned off by clicking it again, thats just a guess though.
