Guild Wars 2

Hi,

Seems like how the tool belt recharge rate passive trait is calculated have changed and the change is not in the patch notes.

Before:
Throw Wrench 20s * 0.7 = 14s
(100% – 30% = 70% = 0.7)

After:
Throw Wrench 20s / 1.3 = 15,5s (15,384s rounded up)
(100% + 30% = 130% = 1.3)

Calculating by the old way it means post patch its only a 23,07% reduction.

Is this intended?

I saw dev saying that the previous way it was calculated was bug and now it is fixed. It was at thief forums if I remember right.
Sorry about my bad english.

EDIT: i found the post https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Math-on-steal-cooldown

The Toolbelt Recharge Rate boost is actually a little awkward. Instead of reducing the cooldown by 30%, for example, it actually increases the rate at which it cools down. Sounds like it wouldn’t matter, but it’s been there for a while.
