View Full Version : Why does my 50% cast time reduction only show up as 33%?

<p>The topic is  <strong>Curseweaving </strong>under the Defiler tab in the AA chart.<strong> </strong></p><p>It reads:</p><p>Hastens the duration, casting, recovery, and reuse speed of all Cursing abilities. </p><p>  Effects:</p><p>     Increases duration by 5%</p><p>     <strong><em>Improves casting, recover, and reuse speed by 50%.</em></strong></p><p>There are several Curse spells, so I'll use Abomination as the  example, but all behave the same way.</p><p>Before taking the Curseweaving AA, the cast time is 2 seconds,  recast is 18.5 secs, and the recovery isn't listed on the spell (one of many such bugs in the game) but  I assume it is the standard 0.5 secs.</p><p>After taking the Curseweaving AA point,  the cast time becomes 1.33 seconds, recast 12.7 secs, and the recovery suddenly becomes listed, and is 0.33 seconds.  </p><p>At first blush, that appears to be only a 33% reduction of cast, recast, and recovery times, not the 50% as specified on the AA.</p><p>What am I missing?</p><p>I found this issue about 6 months ago as I raised my defiler, and rediscovered it again when respec'ing AA's today to put some into the Shadow line before earning enough new ones to reach where I wanted to go.   I was careful to record the before and after spell metrics this time,  and had no other variables going on that might have tainted the experiment.</p>

<p>It works the same way as haste does: 100% haste will half your weapons delay -> 100% resue will half your recast timer.</p>
