The mesmer off-hand sword skill “Illusionary Riposte” is meant to have a cooldown time of 12 sections.
The mesmer train “Blade Training” is meant to reduce the recharge of sword skills by 20%.
However, when I take the trait and use the skill, the cooldown time is visibly over 14 seconds. This suggests that instead of reducing the cooldown, “Blade Training” is ADDING 20% to it.
