My build has HGH (-20% elixir recharge) and mechanized depoyment (-15% toolbelt skill recharge)

My toolbelt skill recharges used to be calculated like this
regenerating Mist 21s * (1-0.15)=17.85s (rounded down to 17.75s)
Incendiary Ammo 50s*(1-0.15)=42.5s
Throw Wrench 17s*(1-0.15)= 14.45 sec (i cant remember if they rounded up or down)
Healing Mist 35s*(1-0.2-0.15)=22.75s
Toss Elixir X 120s*(1-0.2-0.15)=78s

Why do my toolbelt skill recharges now say? :
regenerating Mist 18.25s
Incendiary Ammo 43.5s
Throw Wrench 14.75s
Healing Mist 24.25s
Toss Elixir X 83.5s

Anybody else noticed this? (As a vanilla rifle engi this really kittenes me off) I only noticed it this late since i haven’t been playing alot since the gear shield nerf (lost intrest in gw2) just came back to try out the rifle “buff” (transfer of “leap damage” to the rifle’s most telegraphed skill “landing damage”)( i think i use that skill more defensively then offensively nowadays, so it’s more of a nerf then a buff)

I assume ths CDs have increased since the October 18 2016 update, because that is the last time they had been fiddling with mechanized deployment.

The notes said:

“Mechanized Deployment: Fixed a bug that prevented the tool belt recharge-rate attribute from updating properly on the Hero panel.”

What did they even mean with that?

Confirming on this one. It seems Mechanized Deployment only decreases cooldown by 13%. The combination of Mechanized Deployment and HGH decreases the cooldown at around 30.5%. HGH is working properly as far as I know.

The bug fix on that was intended to help display the stats on our character menu properly, so the 15% on the toolbelt recharge rate wasn’t being displayed properly etc.

Might of messed with the actual recharge rate of tool belt skills.

Ye probably.
The +2% CD increase on non elixir toolbelt skills don’t bother me as much but the +7% extra CD duration on EVERY ELIXIR TOOLBELT skill is quite significant.

Toss Elixir X = +7% (5.5 sec)
Toss Elixir S = +6.8% (2 sec)
Toss Elixir B = +7.7% (1.25 sec)
Toss Elixir U = +6.9% (2.25 sec)
Toss Elixir R = +6.8% (4 sec)
Toss Elixir H = +7.7% (1.25 sec)
Healing Mist = +6.6% (1.5 sec)
