Companion Cooldown Chart

Here is a chart that I made to calculate the effect of various Cooldown Reduction sources on Companion abilities. I hope this resource will be insightful and help with any Companion builds.

It's interesting to note that each source of cooldown reduction is additive, which can practically go as high as 84.6% cooldown reduction, or theoretically up to 89% cooldown reduction. Every Companion skill by default will have 8, 12, 16, or 36 seconds of cooldown. Currently the only Legendary quality Companion item is the Companion's Ascendant Ring, while there are no Normal quality Companion items.

Here is an example screenshot of a Companion with no Quickened gear, no cooldown reduction in their racial passives, and without Telvanni Efficiency:

And here is what those skills look like on a Companion with 12 pieces of Epic Quickened gear, 3% cooldown reduction in their racial passives, and with Telvanni Efficiency active:

Hopefully this shows how important Telvanni Efficiency and Quickened gear are to making Companion skills fire more frequently!

    Make one without the theoretical numbers and I'll add it to the guide.

    Here's a chart of just practical values, showing only the combinations when using Quickened in all 12 inventory slots:

    If it's helpful, I've also made a calculator in Desmos here that can help you calculate uneven loadouts of Quickened gear, i.e. any loadout that uses some configuration other than 12 Quickened of the same quality.

    Here is what we can expect from the Telvanni Efficiency nerf in Update 45, according to week 1 of the PTS:
    Here, I have compiled a new spreadsheet which showcases the new possible and theoretical Companion ability cooldown values:

    Here is the theoretical largest cooldown bonus, when using Telvanni Efficiency with a Companion who has the 3% cooldown bonus in their racial passives and a Quickened setup of 11 Epic and 1 Legendary:

    Compared to Live, this nerf to Telvanni Efficiency results in approximately a 2x increase to the cooldown. Here's the old chart:

    Note that Quickened and Companion racial passives are still additive. Telvanni Efficiency is calculated after the additive values, so it will always cut the cooldown in half.
