<p>Edit: Nevermind, Divine Recovery is no longer an Ability, it is now a Spell, so it's no longer affected by the decrease 9.6% increase in re-use timer.  It now is affected by something around 100% re-use timer.</p><p>So much for making recast of Divine Recovery just under 3 minutes <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p><p>EDIT (Again): Divine Aura has a 10 minute recast and absorbs damage for 10 seconds, Divine Recovery (Which I meant to be referring to, has a base recast of 5 minutes and increases casting speed).</p>

Just a little drop off of recast time.</p>

<p>It used to look like this</p><p>Recast Timer: 300s</p><p>TSO AA: -60s</p><p>Fanaticism: -23.04s (-9.6% recast timer)</p><p>Which is just over 3.5 minute recast (I also have some reduce re-use time equipment.  And I guess I lied because I was just sitting at over 3:00 min recast w/out JCap.</p><p>However, now that Divine Recovery is a Spell and no longer an ability, it suffers from the increase in re-use time that Fanaticism gets (Whereas Combat Arts & Abilities don't get that punishment).</p><p>Edit: I did the math at one point, and before this change I could keep Divine Recovery up 12% of the fight w/out getting JCap'd.  It actually translates to a little more than 12% of the fight because of downtime between fights can be used to get the recast time down (And only x4 named fights live long enough to cast it more than once).</p><p>It was actually probably never worth speccing into, but I wanted to give it a shot and see how useful it would be.</p><p>Edit: Changed Divine Aura -> Divine Recovery, which was what I meant to be referring to.</p>

<p>Na, you are right, my post was completely about Divine Recovery, not Divine Aura =/.  I'll edit the posts above to reflect that.  My mistake.</p>

<p>I posted about this issue with Divine Recovery, alongside our Heroic Opportunity starter (divine providence) being negatively affected by E:Fanaticism on a feedback thread.   Even though no Dev responded, I hope they will fix the issue.- Avi</p>

While I don't like it Divine Recovery is a spell for me, so I have no problem if it is handled like one. Then I have again a reason to abandon this AA. But it should not affect the HO starter.

<p>I love how if you have Devotion up DR recast time is like 9 minutes</p>
