Figuring out the real recharge time.

Hey all,

So I'm trying to figure out the actual recharge time of a power, including all bonuses/slots.

Anyone have a formula for that? I've got 160% recharge with my team going (3x AM and 1 Hasten) so how would I figure it out?

Base Recharge / ( 100% + buffs - debuffs ) = Final Recharge

Note: Buffs include enhancements

Example:

Hasten with 3 SOs(~95%) and your 160% recharge buff


450/(100%+(95+160))

450/(100+255)
450/355%

450/3.55 = 126.76(7 seconds from perma )


Couple other things:

For max recharge simply divide the base by 5. (400% is the recharge buff cap. For hasten 450/5 = 90 seconds max recharge)

For finding out how much recharge buff is needed to make a power perma, divide the base by the duration (For hasten, 450/120 = 3.75 = 375% total recharge)

Keep in mind also that a power does not begin recharging until its animation has concluded. This is useful for when making an attack chain.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

That's not quite right, you forgot to subtract the base recharge rate of 100. Perma-hasten is actually +275% recharge.

400% is not the recharge cap. +400% or 500% (base of 100+400% from buffs) is.

Slight but big difference there.

Correct, I just didn't word it very well in the my post

Edited a few words to for better understanding of what I meant

That's not all you get. Fifty lashes with the wet noodle.

And where I work, the wet noodle happens to be a 2.5 feet long piece of rubber (gotta keep the management in line SOMEHOW).
