30% cooldown on steal via 30 points in trickery trait line.
20% cooldown on steal via sleight of hand in grandmaster trait trickery.
Given : Steal’s base cooldown is 35 seconds.
30% + 20% = 50%
50% = .5
35 × .5 = X
X = 17.5
Final Cooldown on steal should be 17.5 seconds.
Can anyone tell me why stealth is 21 seconds? this is a total cooldown of 46.67%.
I can see why some would say thakittens deducted concurrently rather than consecutively but it doesnt read as such. IF that were the case it would say “take and ADDITIONAL 20% off the cooldown of steal” under the description. so either we have more typo problems or ANET fails at math :P
Another way of looking at it is the concurrent multiplicative way. so you take one of the deductions then follow it with the 2nd from the firsts sum
35 × .7 = 24.5 (30% reduce from 30 trait line points)
24.5 × .8 = 19.6 (20% from the sleight of hand)
TL:DR : steal should be 17.5 or 19.6 seconds no matter how you look at it.
