Thread: Traits to bring down masteries from 15s cd

Hi, are there any traits to bring down masteries cd to below 15s?

No.

I don't believe there are, no. However, SOMEONE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG , but any skill/gambit/legacy/stance/relic that has -% Attack Duration would make the masteries cooldown faster. From the warden's arsenal, recklessness stance + reck attack duration legacy would greatly reduce the cooldown. If on top of that you pop the Adroit Maneuver gambit you'll get an even shorter cooldown. There is even a legacy that would improve Adroit Maneuver's duration.

Other thing you can do is get yourself a few - attack duration relics. There are several out there with -2.5 % I believe... a couple of them, added with any of the previous would help.

For least but not last, there are a few buffing skills from other classes that would also put -% attack duration on you. Minstrel's Anthem of Prowess reduces it by -10%, and there another cappie buff/skill that affects it similarly. There might be even some other skill from RKs and LM that do so as well, I don't remember.

...

Attack duration, is the duration of your attacks. Attack speed. That thing. Nothing to do with cooldowns, not sure what gave you this idea.

Thats right, no way to reduce mastery CD. Especially with -attack duration.

-attack duration will reduce the delay between using skills I believe. Maybe that's what he was thinking.

Thanks for the correction guys! Yes, I thought that -attack duration affected the delay between skills so somehow I mistakenly thought that had to do with cooldowns. Anyway, I stand corrected! Thanks again for the clarification.

Yes, to confirm and clarify, -attack duration will allow you to burn through your masteries faster, but wont actually make them come off cooldown any sooner.

So, if your regular rotation of 6 masteries takes you exactly 15 seconds, then with -20% attack speed it'll take you 12 seconds to do that same rotation (numbers just for example), leaving you 3 seconds where all your masteries are still on cooldown.

Which isn't really a big deal anymore.Since they added Potency and Battle Memory I don't generally end up running out of off-cooldown masteries anymore unless I'm in "recharge mode" (Conviction - Dark Before Dawn one way - Dark Before Dawn the other way, which burns through all 6 main masteries in a handful of seconds).

If you find yourself burning your masteries too quickly, try varying your gambit choice a bit, using length 3 and 4 gambits a bit more and/or going builder-mastery-builder for length 4 gambits instead of mastery-mastery, chucking javelins here and there, and using potency/BM.
