Modify Spell Cooldown

Description

Modifies the cooldown of a learned spell on the target player. The result is always clamped to >= 0.

Three modes are supported via the mode attribute:

The cooldown attribute is parsed as a PlaceholderDouble, so it supports placeholders and math expressions.

Use this for one-shot events — cooldown resets on kill, procs that bump a single cooldown, boss abilities that double a player's cooldowns, etc. For stackable passive cooldown reduction, this is the wrong tool: chained MULTIPLY calls compound (0.8 × 0.4 = 0.32, not the additive 1 - 0.8 = 0.2 players expect), and the order in which different sources apply is non-deterministic. The right pattern is to define a COOLDOWN_REDUCTION stat, let CDR sources stack additively into it, and reference it from the spell's Cooldown: math expression.

Attributes

Examples

Reset Fireball's cooldown when an enemy is killed:

Skills:
- modifySpellCooldown{spell=Fireball;cooldown=0} @self ~onKill

Apply a 5-second cooldown bump on the spell that was just cast (negative ADD reduces):

Skills:
- modifySpellCooldown{spell=Fireball;mode=ADD;cooldown=5} @self

Halve all cooldowns on a one-shot proc:

Skills:
- modifySpellCooldown{spell=Fireball;mode=MULTIPLY;cooldown=0.5} @self
- modifySpellCooldown{spell=IceLance;mode=MULTIPLY;cooldown=0.5} @self

Drive cooldown reduction from a stat (one-shot recompute):

Skills:
- modifySpellCooldown{spell=Fireball;mode=MULTIPLY;cooldown=1-<caster.stat.COOLDOWN_REDUCTION>} @self
