Yeah, buffs are a weird thing. I'm assuming that you're using berserk or something that doesn't interrupt orders. So what you could do is just remove the specific buff from the unit when it casts the ability. I think the action is something like
Unit - Remove specific buff from unit

I set this in Abilities, and in Buffs/Effects I can't remove the original berserk.

I seem to have found a soluton.

Setting the duration to 0.01 makes it so that the buff icon doesn't appear, not even for that 0.01 (I guess it's too fast). I will update this comment if I bump into any other problems regarding this

When you removed the buff with that trigger, did you use the event "A unit starts the effect of an ability"?

I know I am using a trigger like this for one ability that is based off mana shield (Instantly removes the mana shield when you activate it).

Anyway, 0.01 second duration is a good way to fix this sort of thing, anyway.
