Any way of reducing the cooldown on Forcewave?

As the title asks, is there a way of reducing the downtime on Forcewave? I read somewhere to stack faster cast rate but that doesn’t seem to make any difference. Sorry in advance if this is a noob question. I’m still fairly new to Grim Dawn.

Also is there a visual guide to the various debuffs to my character when fighting monsters?

Assuming you have Tremor, the only thing to increase your Forecwave speed is cast speed. Otherwise get Tremor… if you refuse to do that you will need items with cooldown reduction, which mostly are offhand items, so probably not all that useful for you

Cast speed only affects Forcewave if you’re using a 2H weapon and use Tremor transmuter.

If you are playing with a shield, there are several items, which shorten the recharge time (if you play with the Ashes of Malmouth). Most of them are high level items, but the Mutant Bludgeon is available almost from the start of the game.

Ok thanks everyone.

I’m just using normal Forcewave, not Tremor. Looks like I can get rid of the faster cast rate on my gear and look for items with cooldown reduction instead.

@eisprinzessin, thanks for the tip about Mutant Bludgeon’s.
