Crimson set and Cooldown Passive skill

General Discussion

Several classes have passive skills that decreases cooldown, Crusader’s Fervor for instance.

Does that affect Crimson’s 3pc bonus?

thanks

If it adds to the cooldown reduction category displayed under the Details tab, then it counts.

So for the Fervor passive it’s a yes.

Yes, but remember that cooldown reduction has double diminishing returns with regards to the damage increase from the CC3 bonus as you add more cooldown pieces.

For example, if you have 50% CDR without Fervor, by adding the Fervor passive, your CDR is now 57.5% (15% reduction off the remaining 50%). If you compare the damage multiplier 1.575 vs 1.50, notice that it’s a measly 5% damage increase from the CC3 bonus!
