Control + F to open the Find menu, then type "armor" and press Next until you find it. Also, all Item abilities are under the Item category.

I don't think this ability can apply Art but if it can that'd be pretty neat. As Pyro suggested, Sphere is a classic to use but there's other options:
An Aura with Targets Allowed set to None, Sundering Blades (knight ability), Cloak of Flames (@deepstrasz), and I'm sure there's many more.

From what I remember item attribute abilities could harbour effects (point attached) for the carrier/user/owner. The downside is that the unit will not have a buff to display it has that cool ability or whatever like Cloak of Flames does. And, if Sundering Blades does the same, that's sweet. Gotta test that sometime.
On a side note, I have yet to find an ability like Cloak of Flames that can also be triggered to start its cooldown. I know I could potentially use Immolation but that requires ordering the unit to activate it first which interferes with the unit's action or movement at that time.

this is what I have been going by which I have done before https://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/attachments.php I am thinking I am using the wrong armor bonus +1 is why the hat is not swaying with the unit

Well there's no reason to use anything other than an Item ability like Armor Bonus if it can apply Art. You don't want any of the weird overhead/side effects that come with Sphere, Sundering Blades, etc...

Edit: Unless you want an Icon, I forgot that some of the Item abilities don't show an icon.

I didn't know Cloak of Flames could use a cooldown, I had been using Exhume Corpses instead. I'll make the switch from here on out. Reincarnation works as well but that ability has obvious unwanted side effects.

@Zodiac the barbarian
I highly doubt it has anything to do with the ability. It's most likely due to the Model of the unit and/or the Special Effect.

Nonono. Cloak of Flames doesn't use a cooldown. I meant, it would be awesome if it did. I'm using Berserk as a dummy cooldown. A second ability, instead of one, ugh...

@Zodiac the barbarian please don't multipost.

I see, you can use Exhume Corpses then if you're after a passive ability that can trigger a cooldown.
  • Unit - For Unit (Triggering unit), start cooldown of ability Exhume Corpses over 5.00 seconds.

Thank you, although in my current case where I also need a buff that can't be dispelled, I'd still have to use two abilities. But that ability is definitely useful so I'll keep it in mind for when the time comes for it.
