Formula [ edit ]
Cooldown reduction stacks multiplicatively. Flat changes are calculated after percentages.
(Cooldown × (1 – reduction) × (1 – next source of reduction)) – source of flat reduction + source of flat increase = reduced cooldown
Example using a 60 second cooldown spell affected by 25% reduction and 15% reduction sources:
60 × (1 – 0.25) × (1 – 0.15) = 60 × 0.75 × 0.85 = 38.25 second cooldown
