The 'Nerf' to Torug's pact + Infused was a 'Buff' (Additive not Multiplicative)

It seems to be Additive rather than Multiplicative.

Tooltip Update

Can still spam Rending slashes and this time, can get consistent hits with the enchantment, even with full spam going (No LA's)

Did some dueling testing, and the hardening glyph will refresh only when it's removed, but it can be refreshed around every 3 or so seconds.

So, if it is indeed additive, then these are the ICDs:

10 * ( 1 - 0.5- 0.3) = 2s
4 * ( 1 - 0.5 - 0.3) = 0.8s

As much as I would love this change, I understand that this wasn't their intention.

So, either it was turned to be additive, or they just forgot to actually code in the tooltip, and just left it as it is.

I also thought that this was explained in the patch notes that it's only a nerf for enchants with smaller cool-downs and a buff for enchants with longer ones. I.E a 10 second cool down becomes 7 instead of 9.

overall, I am okay with this because the obsidian enchants + torugs + infused felt like a cheese build and if you run the calculations on live (assuming obsidian is not bugged), torugs + infused + obsidian has a 1.4 second cool-down, and under 3.1.1, it'll still have a 1.4 second cooldown. If the devs let obsidian have a 1s cooldown, then your light weave and ability attacks would mesh perfectly with the obsidian for a new cheese meta.

Oh, what I mean is that it's a buff to Infused + Torug's. the ICD's as a whole got reduced since they stack additively Base * ( 1 - (0.5 + 0.3)) = Base * 0.2 (80%) , rather than being multiplicative Base * (0.5 * 0.7) = Base * 0.35 (65%)

Orrrrr, when they made it multiplicative, they forgot to switch it to multiplying by 0.7 rather than by 0.3

Base * (0.5 * 0.3) = Base * 0.15 (85% ICD Reduction) [Buff]
Base * (0.5 * 0.7) = Base * 0.35 (65% ICD Reduction) [Nerf]
