Fireball cooldown in the keep 1minute, then we got the 15%cdr from grail knight on bell map, and I still had a 1 minute cooldown on fireball.

  • skittergate with 10%cdr from grail, doesnt work aswell.

* *EDIT - some people say it's not straight cdr, it's recharge time by attacking, can someone confirm? Maybe the mod that shows me ult cd seconds is broken? or maybe it only affects pyromancer

(This is so annoing, when you think you have 15%cdr and think like, wow this is so nice, I can spam my ult, and then it just does nothing. I am pretty sure that some other bounties also don't work, and you are like, "I deal so much damage with 15% higher power level" and your damage just stays the same. How can you release the class when the talents don't work??? So dumb and annoing tbh. Step up your game FS or just quit...

ohhh okay, but why make it different. So now it's little bit confusing. Also that 10%cdr reg is 9,1% cdr sigh

Making it regen means that the reduction is amortized over the whole recharge duration.
This has some benefits that make gameplay flow better:

  • It's easier to parse that it is active by looking at the speed of the bar.
  • When the buff is granted you can start reaping the benefits immediately. If it is removed you get to keep what you got.
  • The 0.9% difference between 10% and 9.1% CDR is quite small in practice. For careers with a 120 second cooldown (Ranger Veteran, Ironbreaker, Unchained) this translates to a 120 * (0.1 - 0.091) = 1.08 second difference.
  • Bars going up faster feels good!
