My question is this: all inscriptable max staves have an inherent white mod 'halves skill recharge of spells 20%'. If I put a 'forget me not' (20% skill recharge of item's attribute) inscription on it, do I have 40% chance of recharge on the item's attribute? My guess would be yes but I'm not sure.

Guildwars doesn't add the two together, what it does is check the first, and then the second.

20% chance of the first going off
20% chance of the second going off

4% of both going off at the same time

One thing though, 'forget me not' only goes on focus items so the situation simply doesn't exist for staves. My mistake, I got confused reading the guildwiki inscriptions diagram.

Yeah, you can't have two HSR modifiers on a staff. But even if you did, it'd be 36% half, 64% normal. Recharge time is now capped at 50%, so you can't have quarter recharge time anymore.

Also, I hate it when people say 36% half 4% quarter, as that's never, ever been the case. Less bad math please.

They even make green staves with stacked mods (cast time yes, not recharge):

Are you sure on this?
I recommend equipping a 20/20 fire wand and a 20/20 flame artifact, and shooting off some meteor showers.
I am 99% certain I have had occasional 15 second recharges, as recently as yesterday. . .

This isn't something to put down. It's not just about total reduction.

With one 20% mod 1 out of 5 casts will have 50% reduced time.
With two 20% mods, more than 1 in 3 casts will have 50% reduced time.

So even without quarter cast time, you get faster recharge more frequently.

Why would touch rangers suffer from this update? The touch skills are just that, skills - so no benefits from spells.
