Nihilus force drain on Kylo

Has anyone that has successfully drained cooldown on Kylo not have him use a ability on his next turn? I know his unique gives him 50% chance of cooldowns being reset on taking damage. Trying to figure out if there is a bug or not, since I have yet to see Kylo not use a ability after a success force drain on him. If someone had force drain on their Kylo be successful and had cooldowns drained on their next turn with Kylo, that would rule out bug for sure.

    Sometimes he didn't use specials after DN special, so I don't think there is a bug

    Need to watch closely to ensure drain was successful on him though, harder on 4x speed.

    Yes, and if after cooldown increase another toon attack kylo is almost 100% chance to reduce cooldowns, so this only works if you only attack him this turn with nihilus.
    The solution for this is ablity block

    Definitely never had a successful cool down increase on Kylo despite red text being displayed after force drain.

    He never basics his next turn after a successful force drain on him. So pretty much 100% cooldown reset thanks to the damage attached to force drain.

    I'm pretty sure that each DoT counts as a separate hit for purposes of reducing cooldowns. And since DoT damage happens at the beginning of his turn, before he chooses his attack... yeah.

    Yes, every dot has a chance to reduce his cooldowns

    actually when nihilus uses drain force on kylo kylo first resets his cooldowns and then nihilus proceeds to increase them as per the mechanics and what i have observed
    but if kylo even has one dot on him when he takes his turn, that dot can reset his cooldowns
    its very irritating as in most of my battles enemy nihilus goes before my kylo and increases my cooldowns as i have explained before

    I've increased the cooldown on Kylo in the opening round and he opens with his AOE despite not having any DOTs which I had assumed was because the damage from force drain was done after the cooldown increase.

    Yes, cool down increase flashed, and DN was the last one to go prior to Kylo so he took no damage, other than force drain, before his turn. No dots.
