Guild Wars 2

“Sleight of Hand Stealing also dazes your target for 1 second. Reduces the recharge of Steal by an additional 20%”
It’s in trait line which requires us to put 30% in steal recharge rate. So we have 20%+30%=50%
Base recharge is 35 and if we use this trait it gives us 21 sec recharge.

50% out of 35 is 17.5. So it’s a bug

Hmm 30% out of 35 is 24,5
and 20% out of 24.5 is 19.5.

In game now we can see 21sec so i’m not really sure where that number came from.

But anyways steal recharge is a stat and it’s displayed in menu. It should be there as 50% and it’s should act like 50%.

“Don’t fix me i’m not broken said child of the pale tree,
but Arena knew she’s in nightmare court already
and they knew what to do..”

Guys i want my tricky tricky boondealer interupting thief so come on. I guess there is team for that which is in rotation. Can’t wait for fixers turn ^^

The trait line is probably only -25%. Same thing happens on engineer: the last 5 points don’t do anything for toolbelt skills’ recharge.

You’re mistaken on how it functions.

Instead of being

• Duration x (1-Recharge%)

It is

• Duration / (1+Recharge%)

The same is true for all the recharge traitlines.

However, it turns out that Sleight of Hand is actually multiplicative. That is to say:

• The recharge% from the traitline functions as a divisor: Duration / (1+Recharge%)
• Sleight of Hand functions as a separate multiplier: Duration x 0.8
• End result: Duration x (0.8/1.3) = ~ 21.54

If anything, you should be grateful for getting even that. They could’ve just made both of them stack as a divisor, resulting in a 23.5s cooldown.

What if i say that it had (on the day of release) description 17.5 on the steal skill while traited and when i pressed a skill cooldown was 21sec?
Well it changes nothing :D

Ohh if it would be 17.5 by then it would be really worth it!
