Game Mechanics: spell gem refresh with instant clicky does not refresh all spell gems correctly

Don't you mean the other way around? Fix gem #1 so it doesn't defeat the spell recast vs. general cool down?

^ this.


nirgon got things so twisted in this thread. all clickys do is refresh GCD. slot 1 is currently bugged where it refreshes any cooldown (hence the "harvest" bug he mentions).

Lure of Ice has a 2.25 sec recast time which is longer than global cooldown.

It didn't hit the normal cooldowns. just the global between spells. it should allow you to cast lure of ice ,then instantly lure of something else, without waiting for the global cooldown.

Otherwise what was the point of hitting the clicky to instantly recast/spam the same spell?

it never was about instantly recast/spam the same spell. just about instant chain-casting other spells without waiting for the GCD. in rare occasions some spells had zero recast time, and could be chained due to the GCD clicky trick. But not Lure of Ice which has a 2.25 sec recast.


anyway, it sounds like around pop era they made changes to GCD and maybe played around with recast times?
