Guild Wars 2

Basically when you go full 30/30 in Thief’s Trickery trait line you only get ~10 seconds faster Steal recharge rate that is wrong because reducing 45 seconds (base Steal recharge) by 30% should lower Steal’s cooldown by 13,5 seconds.

When you take only 5/30 in Trickery it works correctly and reduces Steal’s cooldown by ~2 seconds (5% from 45 sec = 2,25 sec). The further you go in Trickery the less cooldown reduction is provided by each “5%”.

I think this is caused because each point in that trait line reduces Steal’s cooldown based on Steal’s post-calculation recharge rate instead of reducing Steal’s base recharge rate.

For example Steal’s base cooldown is 45 seconds. 1 point in Trickery reduces it by 0,45 seconds. The new Steal’s cooldown becomes 44,55 seconds and currently the next point in Trickery will reduce Steal’s cooldown by ~0,445. This goes on providing less and less benefit for Steal’s recharge the further you go in Trickery line.

I dont know if its intended but I doubt that, also those 3,5 seconds which I lose on Steal’s recharge rate can mean the difference between life and death. So please take a look at it.
