Does Burning Hex Work On 0 CD Skills?

Like Channel Staff. The description states it increases CD by 15% +1 turns. Does the +1 still apply to abilities normally without CD?
I'm not crying. I'm offering a sacrifice to DarkGod in hopes he'll show favor to me.

It hasn't worked yet.

It applies to Shoot.

Can't swear one way or another re: Channel Staff, but it seems likely.

I'd assume so, since it seems like the +1 is intended to catch abilities that otherwise would have too short a cooldown to be affected.

There's another question though: Assuming 100% speed, wouldn't a 0-cooldown ability end up still not having a cooldown? By the time you can move again, a 1-turn cooldown will have come off its cooldown already.

Shoot and Channel Staff are 1-turn cooldown, in fact. Many talents that appear to be 0-cooldown are in fact 1-cooldown.

That would make a lot more sense.

But if Shoot was a 1 turn cooldown, then you wouldn't be able to Shoot more than once per turn?
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.

Bows have 125% attack speed by default, so if Shoot has a 1-turn cooldown, that means 1-turn cooldowns get treated special, yes.

That said, a quick check of the source code on Git says Shoot has a cooldown of 0.

(Not no cooldown, which is what your basic attack has.)
