A bug of abilities to increase reuse speed?

It's working just fine. The way EQ2 works is that you cannot go over 50% of the spell recast timer. Basically you have Rescue at original 5mins if you manage to get it to 2.50 mins give or take a few seconds for rounded numbers. You can't get it lesser no matter how many reuse gear or reuse ability or buffs you have...it's just the way the game is coded just can't do it. So the points spent on your rescue to "Try" to lower the cast to 2min30s as you were aiming for is unrealistic and you can spend your points else where, same thing with FD. Hope this helps...but I can assure it is not a bug.</p>

<p>It took me a while to figure it out but here is how I think it works...</p><p>100% Reuse = half the reuse time i.e. 300 seconds (5 minutes) becomes 150 seconds (2 minutes 30 seconds)</p><p>So...</p><p>10% Reuse = 300 / 1.1 = ~273 = 4 minutes 33 seconds</p><p>20% Reuse = 300 / 1.2 = 250 = 4 minutes 10 seconds</p><p>50% Reuse = 300 / 1.5 = 200 = 3 minutes 20 seconds</p><p>So rescue with all the achievements maxed out...</p><p>70% Reuse = 300 / 1.7 = ~176 = 2 minutes 56 seconds</p><p>This might not be what you were hoping to hear but hopefully it helps clear things up a little bit.</p>

<p>this got me confused aswell while reading, figuring out that 100% reuse equals half the recast time is what misleads here <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
