Bloodletting Soulbind Conduit

“Barbed Shot’s recharge time is reduced by 1 sec”, however, my Barbed Shot recharge time went from 10 sec to 9.3 sec. That’s only 0.7 seconds.

mine went from 10 second recharge to 9.6 (.4 second reduction)

something is really wonky with this conduit

edit: 171 conduit item level

seems to be related to how haste affects the recharge

  • Naked without conduit 12 second recharge
  • Naked with conduit 11 second recharge
  • with gear (18% / 549 haste) without conduit 10 second recharge
  • with gear (18% / 549 haste) with conduit 9.3 second recharge

The tooltip states it reduces the recharge time by 1 second. It doesn’t say it reduces the recharge time based on your current haste rating, so haste rating should have zero impact on how long the cooldown reduction is.

my guess is that it reduces the recharge by 1 second, and then haste is applied, which has a proportional effect… so the overall reduction is less than 1 second

I think what’s happening is the conduit is deducting the 1 second first, so instead of 12 sec, it’s 11 sec. Then haste is factor as a percentage of 11 seconds instead of 12 seconds. Essentially, using this conduit is making our haste less effective in regards to Barbed Shot. I’ve since stopped using it altogether, as I parse higher using One With the Beast.
