[2022] CwC Conduit is insanely broken, literally

Originally posted by RelevantIAm

If the cast time (and thus cooldown) of Lightning Conduit but lower than half of the CwC trigger the time between attempted CwC triggers, it will trigger at twice CwC trigger rate, because every second time CwC tries to trigger it, it will still be on cooldown and fail to trigger

I'm dumb, I don't understand this part. Sounds like you're saying it'll trigger twice but also that it will fail to trigger the second time.

Wait, so was mention of a cooldown in the gem description (neither lightning conduit nor CWC have a cooldown or added cooldown) a way to inform that this will work with CWC but probably not some other shit that adds a cooldown? The cast time added to cooldown must break some triggering setup. Otherwise it doesn't seem worth even mentioning or adding to the gem. Pretty confusing. :)

Ok yeah we're speaking different languages right now. :) I'll try to make my question simple:

• Lightning conduit does not have a cooldown, but mentions that it adds its cast speed to "its cooldown (doesn't have one)" if triggered.

• CWC doesn't add a cooldown.

• Spellslinger doesn't either.

• CoC doesn't have a mention of cooldown in gem desc, but wiki shows it might be a factor.

The gist is I don't understand why the cast speed is even added to the cooldown of this gem if it doesn't have a cooldown. I assume we're speaking about a cooldown it acquires via weapon mods or supports. And there might be some reason you added the cast speed to the natively non-existent cooldown.
