ok, this is a game physics question.

If I have a 20% recharge weapon and a 20% recharge off hand do I get:

a) 20% chance of recharge (no stack)
b) 40% chance of recharge (stack together)
c) 36% chance of recharge (stack in order -- like Spirit & Price of Failure)
d) 36% chance of recharge and 4% chance of 1/4 recharge (stack in order with overlap, chance to hit both mods)

Just if anyone has figured this math out yet.

Has anyone actually tested the "4% chance of 75% faster recharge"?

I know I've run this test before and was not able (in 100 tries) to get ONE 75% faster recharge.

I have tested it with a necro, casting not recharge. I used garboks bone claw and a collectors focus. I rezed a Fiend imediately after hitting the button. So It cut 3 second cast to 1.5 second cast then 3/4, and althought bloodstained boots do not seem to work, theortically if they did it would make it close to 1/4 cast time.

Its always amazing to see a minion climb out of its host before it has even hit the ground. ^_^

e) What Ensign said.

Formula (in case you poke around with 10%'s or, for some unknown reason, nonmax %'s):

Quarter cast %: (Success % of first mod) * (Success % of second mod)
Regular cast %: (Failure % of first mod) * (Failure % of second mod)
Half cast %: (Success % of first mod) * (Failure % of second mod) + (Failure % of first mod) * (Success % of second mod)
OR
Half cast %: 100% - Quarter cast % - Regular cast %

I'm curious about how my holy rod (16/18) and a healing focus (20/20) stack.
I put up this question on other sites, but i didnt get answer yet.

Thanks Savio

ok, thanks. The chance of normal recharge should be 64% (0.8 * 0.8), and the 4% is imbedded in the 36%, so really it is a 32% for double.
But that helps out greatly... Thanks.

26% Half Cast
2% Quarter Cast
