Skill recharge - Guild Wars Forums

I still don't know for sure how the +X% skill recharge mod works.

If you're using a 20/20 item, you have 20% chance that your skill recharges 20% faster?

Yep, that's exactly right. A 20/20 item gives you 20% chance of both a fast cast and a quick recharge for each skill you use.

I thought the fast recharge (or cast), when it triggers, was more than a 20% boost.

tafy69 · Nov 29, 2005, 08:56 AM // 08:56

its more like 50% faster

Maxiemonster · Nov 29, 2005, 09:25 AM // 09:25

So did it change after a certain update?

Since it used to say:
'Skill recharge increased by 20% (chance X%)'
So wouldn't it be logical to have a chance to recharge 20% faster? Though, now the first 20% is gone.

confirmation: it is 50% faster, and you have a 20% of having that 50% reduction.

Thanks Makkert

EDIT: How do these stack? Because if you have 2 items with this, you have 4% chance to have an instant recharge? I don't think so.. So is it just 40% chance to get that 50% extra recharge?

Maxie, a regular such as you should know to use the Search button

I have answered this one in various threads by now, but I'll answer it specially for you one more time

*.

You get:
4% at 25% of normal casting time
32% at 50% of normal casting time
64% at normal casting time.

This is not assumption, I have experienced multiple 25% while testing just this.

The way it breaks:
first item:
80% normal
20% at 50% of normal

then second is applied
20%*20% = 4% at 25%
80% * 20% = 16% at 50%
20% * 80% = 16% at 50%
80% * 80% = 64% at normal recharge (or fast cast for that matter, they work the same)

greetings Makkert

* If anyone is having sexual images at these words, you have a problem.
