Guild Wars 2

5 points in illusions

20 points in domination (taking the greatsword ability)

Both should reduce the cooldown on Mirror Blade and Phantasmal Berserker and they only do either, but when both are there it’s still the same amount.

I tested this by removing my traits multiple times. After adding 5 in illusions, MB is at 6.5 cooldown and PB is at 16. I was really hoping for a 4.8second and 12 second respectively, but if they were concurrant 5.12 and 12.8 would be acceptable.

Or are they just not supposed to stack?

Same goes for every weapon recharge reduction and 5 points illusions. I sent in game ticket (forum was disabled back then). I believe its bug, and if its not and its intended then:
1. It should be clearly stated that illusions recharge reducing traits do not stack because right now its confusing
2. 5 illusion trait should get reworked because when I’m using sword/sword and staff weapon set with both skill recharge reduced and need my 20points in illusions I have 1 trait ‘less’ in my tree since its completly useless. There are many minors that one dont need but they ALWAYS have some effect. This trait provides NOTHING if you use weapon recharge reducing majors.

It’s a descriptive error. Even though it doesn’t show 4.8 sec(which is 20%+20% = 40% -> 0.4 X 8 = 4.8 sec), stacking Greatsword Training & Illusion Celerity do indeed give your MB a 4.8 sec CD. It’s just that the CD number “in the description” remains at 6.5 seconds despite the fact that the proper CD number should show 4.8 sec.

I can confirm that for stacking the traits MB and GT, but as for other CD traits combination they are held in seperate cases in terms of whether they do or don’t stack – and I believe that’s how it works.

CD reduction from GT only stacks for skills already affected by Illusionists Celerity. I can confirm the descriptive error on Mirror Blade and Phantasmal Berserker, however on other skills the cooldown is still the same.
