Skill/ability cooldowns...

[Jarek Defiler]

Howdy folks,

Been keeping an eye on Last Epoch and (once the server issues are sorted out) I was thinking of doing a first impressions video for my YouTube channel.

However, one big problem I have with arpgs, with the biggest offenders being D3 and D4, is excessive cooldowns.

So can any of you veterans tell me if the cooldowns on abilities are excessively long? I'm talking anything over like...5 seconds heh.

Okay, maybe not that short, but if there are abilities with cooldowns that run into the minutes, I just would like to know.

Thanks in advance!

My one button kill all skill has a cooldown of 5 seconds,

Is that the norm? Or do some skills have longer cooldowns? 5 seconds is nothing and we cool with that.

Some skills have longer cooldown, some shorter, some no cooldown at all.

Depends on the skill.

There are longer CD skills, also there are no CD skills. Many skills have skill tree nodes to increase or decrease CD too, a lot of flexibility depending on what kind of build you want to make.

Do you know off hand what the longest cooldowns might be?

I literally can't think of a single thing with a cooldown past 15 seconds, and cooldown reduction is a stat all gear can roll. Even the hardest hitting skills can be used in regular rotation pack to pack.

Cool beans. That's fine for us then. Just didn't want to unlock some awesome skill only to find out it has 2 minute cooldown. 15 seconds is fine. Thanks!

Cooldowns for movement skills could be faster, with >1 stack.
