Does anyone know if after you add this if you are supposed to see the cool down time decrease or does it just count down faster?
Does Ice Blade need to be on the action bar? Enchantment slot? Can it just be skill points sunk in but no where in action bar or enchantment to get the cool down bonus?
It doesn’t seem like cool down is faster one way or another.
Didn’t quite understand your question. If you summon Ice Blades it will attack the enemies and reduce its cooldown by 0.5s and other skills cooldown by 0.1s. When in enchantments slot it will summon one after using skills that add up to 40 secs cooldown. This enchantment has a buff icon showing how much time is needed for it to proc. You will technically see the cooldowns lowering faster, but since it’s 0.1 secs it not noticeable. You need to cast it or have it on enchant, or both, since the Ice Blades needs to attack vulnerable enemies to proc.
It doesn’t seem like it cooldowns other skills faster because it is really weak. It was “exploited” in the beta when the cooldown reduction was 0.25s and the enchantment was 20s instead of 40s, leading to you being able to spawn 5+ and have almost no cooldown on skills, so, like other sorc skills based on a lvl25 beta they nerf it to oblivion to be forever useless.
You can still use the skill to proc vulnerable and reduces your cooldowns by ~0.3s, and it’s also another cooldown to proc defense and prodigy, but there are probably better options. And as for enchantment slot, there are definately better choices.
Thanks for the reply Tubs.
My question was on the last enhancement skill point:
[Summoned Ice Blades] 20% of Enhanced Ice Blades’s Cooldown reduction is applied to your other Skills
What I understand from what you reply is that the cool down on the skill will not show a lower time but it will in fact count faster as long as I have the enchantment or skill on action bar?
The way it works is that it reduces the cooldown of your skills when the Ice Blades attacks a vulnerable enemy, it’s not a static effect. If there are no enemies to attack it will not do anything to your cooldowns. If it attacks an enemy 3 times then it dies it will reduce it’s cooldown by 1.5 seconds and all others by 0.3 seconds. According to maxroll it attacks 7-8 times so at max is a 4sec reduction on Ice Blade and 0.8 on the other skills. But the enemies around might die before it expires so it will usually be lower than that.
To clarifty, the skill summons an icy skeleton, and it’s that icy skeleton’s attacks that will affect the cooldowns, so you need to either have it on your skillbar and cast it, or have it on the enchantment slot, or both. The enchant slot casts it for you (then you don’t need it on the skillbar) when you use 40 secs worth of cooldown.
Really, really appreciate the clarification. Thank you!
