Timer still broken upon zoning. It took my hotkey 8 min+ to cool down. Normal Mend time is about 6 minutes.

1. Hit Mend key. Start timer.
2. Zone Out. Hit Mend Key again.
3. Chat feedback "You can use ability..again in X minute(s)..."
4. Wait X minutes (in same zone).
5. Button/hotkey does not reset with X minute timer.

Patch Notes - October 30th, 2010
Haynar: Moved mend to use a normal timer. The client is coded to reset the ability on zoning. The server was using a persistent timer. So the client would push the button after zoning when the skill was down, and get the timers out of sync. Verified on live that mend does refresh on zoning. Now mend will refresh on zoning, the same as live, and same as the client is coded.

Patch Notes - 3/27/11
Haynar-Src-Moved mend back to a persistent timer.
