dunno but it sure seems that way.
edit: alot of my set bonuses do in fact seem to not have any affect on the recharge time of LR.
Ive seen build up and other attacks affected and have slower recharge times than LR yet they are ready when LR still takes its time recharging, so yes theres something going on there.
I'm not sure if thats WAI because there is to my knowledge no mention of LR being unaffected by global recharge bonuses.

LR's recharge is affected by enhancements and global recharge, unless a change was implemented that I'm unaware of.
if you are looking at the in game numbers than yes the global recharge doesn't show BUT no power take the global recharge in account in the power number.
but... isnt it supposed to show?
Ive got powers that should charge slower, yet they are ready much sooner than LR is...

You're going to need to supply much more evidence.
ima tryin to figure out how to do that.
kinda just scraped myself off the pavement
edit: theres definitely something going on here

im having a hard time here trying to test this. Im going in and out of AE to see if thats it, there seems to be something kinda screwy with the global recharge, but that might just be me. I dont see any timers or any kind of numbers i can watch in game to take screenies of or notes or anything.
ive got alot of global rech set bonuses, LR should charge alot faster than some of my other powers, yet it seems a bit slower... thats all I got for now. Im open to suggestions.

You need to give specifics, nobody can help if only give general information.
Ex:
Lightning Rod has X% recharge enhancement and recharges in A seconds.
Other Power has Y% recharge enhancement and recharges in B seconds.
I have Z% global recharge.
LR should be recharging faster than OtherPower, but it's not.
(Remember to start the timer after the animation is finished playing.
gotcha. runnings a few tests.

ok im not trying to be difficult, but is there a way to actually see the timer go by in seconds? please forgive this is new to me.

im having a hard time counting the seconds. everything seems to check... well.. sort of...
lightning rod has a 47.39s rech
build up has a 49.09 rech
my global rech without hasten is %57.5 with hasten it is 127.5%
from what ive tested so far it seems both powers rech very close to eachother.
Iv'e questioned the global recharge in error, i think what might be happening is certain attacks from critters might be affecting it. Ive been in several instances when ive used the buildup/ lightning rod combo and while being attacked <by fire damage> the lightning rod charged much slower. I dont know if
a: WAI
B: just me being retarded <most likely>
c: fire damage is bugged.
im going with "B" because this is a learning experience for me.

well you take a stop watch, you click on the power you want to time, when the animation finish you start the watch, when the power is fully recharged you stop the watch.... and then you should see the time in seconds....
(there is no in game timer that you can see, you have to do it by hand )
edit: seem you posted at the same time I was writting this...

I haven't done any testing on my Elec/Elec/Mu Brute to try to duplicate any of your results, but I did have a couple of questions that may help steer your thinking.
a. I tend to use LR several seconds after Build Up anyway - there are usually a few patron attacks (Fences, Ball Lightning) and Chain Induction first, then I use LR so that it hits while the DoTs are ticking away. Obviously they'll still be close to each other with similar recharge slotting since they have the same base, but any animation times you add between BU and LR will add up and could cause a perception issue since one is up and not the other - they tend to be ~5-7 seconds apart in my case, depending on what all I slip in during the BU window and at the long end of that you're looking at close to 1/4 of the total recharge of the power.
b. You're being hit with fire damage, but the groups I can think of that use fire damage once you get LR are Longbow, Circle of Thorns, Crey (Paragon Protectors) and Carnies. I'm throwing out Malta and Council since they don't have pure fire attacks. Are you positive it was only fire damage, since each of those groups have methods of slowing recharge (via Web Grenades/Psi attacks/Ice attacks)?

yes they were fire damage. custom critters
Ill need to hunt down a stopwatch to get the numbers down.
this is a "my perception is off" issue, thanks everyone!

i use BU and LR together
they have the same recharge
they come back up together.
edit: sometimes I lag so i end up not using LR till way later cause BU goes off when i click it but I wait for the animation, which isnt for a few seconds.
The other thing to note is LR does have a moderate activation animation. If you fire Buildup and then Lightning Rod as soon as each are available, it will appear as if LR is not recharging as fast as it should be, as the recharge does not begin until the power has been activated.
I haven't played my elec/elec since issue 15, but I can assure you prior to issue 15 recharge buffs were working fine.
The other day I was told that lightning rods recharge is not increased by bonus sets. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
