Steps:

1. Summon any Arcanist pet. (egi, fairy)
2. Put pet on Order, Steady or Guard.
3. Manually use all pet abilities to put them on cooldown. (e.g. Whispering Dawn, Aerial Slash, Contagion)
4. Summon a new pet. It does not have to be the same pet. Abilities should still appear on cooldown.
5. Put pet on Sic.
6. Watch as pet reuses their abilities and puts them on cooldown again despite already having recently be used.
7. Repeat from step 4 as much as mp allows.

Circumventing deliberate ability cooldown timers can potentially be abused in battle content with Swiftcast pet summons to result in unintentional benefits from continuous pet buffs/debuffs.

Some additional images I took when testing this.

Please look at Eorzea Time, ability cooldown timers, dot timers on target and specifically Tri Disaster's timer (2nd ability on 2nd hotbar)
