Chrono Shift and Mids

What recharge time do you need to get Chrono Shift to in order to make it permanent?

Because I see a recharge time of 360 seconds and a duration of 30 seconds. With pretty much all the recharge I can and spiritual in my build I can only seem to get it around 73 seconds recharge.

So, unless there's something wrong with the display in mids, I can't see being able to get it to a 30 second recharge, even though I keep hearing people say that getting it to permanency is possible.

I've been fussing with a Fire/Time build or a Achery/Time build. Despite the redraw that people seem to hate so much, I think it'd be awesome to use Rain of Arrows and explosive arrow qite a bit more frequently.

the duration for the recharge buff is 1:30, 30 seconds for the rest. sounds like you have it perma.

Ok, thanks. I'm not sure why they have 360 seconds in there. I'm probably quite a bit over the amount of recharge I need. Though a 3.5 second recharge on fireball sounds like fun.

Actually going to have to rethink it a bit, because with that much recharge and only a 30 second duration on the endurance recovery portion of chrono shift, I can probably drain the character of endurance pretty fast

The 360seconds is the actual time the power takes to recharge.

The 90seconds is for Recharge Bonus the power provides. (Where the Heal over Time and +Recovery are the part that only lasts 30seconds.)


It can be made permanent with 300% recharge bonus (95%from recharge enhancements +50%from the power itself +70%from Hasten +85%from IO Set bonuses).

(EDITED: to fix that Chronoshift gives 50% recharge bonus, not 30%. It's Temporal Selection that gives your target a 30% buff, I always get those backwards since normally the single target buff is stronger than the AoE.)

Yeah, the 30s duration listed is only for the +recovery and +recharge. The perma-able part of Chrono Shift is the +recharge, which has the full 90s duration.

Perma CS = CS recharging in under 90 seconds. Plus cast time, so like 88ish seconds IIRC.

When in Mids, press ctrl+d to look at the power data window. That will show you the details on the power, including the different durations on Chrono Shift's buffs.

Ah, that makes sense.
