Do traits that trigger an ability when certain thing happens, set the same ability you have on a skillbar on CD?

Q:

As an example a trait: “Defy Pain” – Activates Endure Pain at 25% health.
So let’s say i have Endure Pain equipped and this trait learned. And i drop to 25% HP. The trait kicks in and i get 3 secs of invulnerability (4secs). Will i still be able to use that Endure Pain i have on my skillbar after this trait “finishes”?

Same question regarding, berkserk stance (strength trait), shake it off (shrug it off – defense trait) and balanced stance (last stand – defense trait)

Yes, I use Shrug it off and I can shout Shake it off twice.

Zerk is the average Joe build. Don’t pat yourself in the back too hard.

I think if you activate endure pain before 25% health, the trait will not go off due to internal cool down. I’m not 100% sure and need further testing.

Trait abilities and utility slot abilities are separate. You can fire off Endure Pain and still have defy pain fire off at 25% hp (this trait endure [defy] pain still has a cooldown though)
