Set Mechanics when Front Barred

Question, when a skill is proccd on the back bar, but then when switched to the front bar, does it then gain the added benefit of the front bar? Or is it set?

Example: Deadly Strike only front barred, so when I critical rush with the Maelstrom Greatsword, does the DOT from either the sword or the ability gain the benefit of DS once I go to the front bar?

Or is it set when the skill hits? As I have heard this is true of some direct damage skills

Any other examples or specifics are welcome!

    What a truly excellent 'edge-case' type question...hmm... i know *buffs & spawns* definitely remain active upon switching bars post-proc , but i hadn't thought about whether or not certain effects stack upon eachother from switching.

    Really a great question that would be fascinating---and frustrating lol---to test. My GUESS is that any "benefit" remains depending on that benefit's original timer or whatever.

    But i'm anxious to hear what other more experienced Combat vets reply with better intel than i can provide.
