I was a bit suspicious the vire’s cascade skill seemed to be taking longer than I expected to become available when I had a couple of skill cooldown reductions applied.
I was curious, so I experimented with skill cooldown.
To make it obvious what’s happening, either hack skill cooldown effects onto some items or use gd stash for a number of items with chronomancer prefix.
Give the character 100% skill cooldown reduction so skills should become instantly available.
Make sure you have honor and at least one skill other than vires cascade with a cooldown period.
Associate Vire’s Cascade to one of your skill buttons, press it and watch it count down from 3 seconds. 3,2,1. Zero reduction.
Then try any other skill and you see no countdown.
Try pressing your number key whilst it’s counting down and confirm it’s not cosmetic - you get “that skill’s not ready” message.
Impact: Low for me and I guess few players will notice as they probably only have maybe 30% cooldown reduction max and it’s then like 1 second out 3.
