Kytea Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Hi My level 31 sage has a 1.5 secs cooldown on Disturbance I recently ran a Flashpoint with another Sage. He was spamming Disturbance so fast. I asked what skill he had to reduce the Disturbance cooldown, he didn't know. Could anyone point me to the skill that reduces the cooldown on Disturbance please? Actually I'm not sure if it was a short cooldown, a short cast time, or both, but he was throwing those disturbance ballls way faster than I can. Thanks Edited January 23, 2012 by Kytea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOrteil Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I suppose it was the talent Telekinetic Momentum from the Telekinetic spec Edited January 23, 2012 by BigOrteil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFreeGamer Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm sorry, isn't the Global Cooldown 1.5 seconds anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiloni Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Disturbance doesn't have a cooldown at all, aside from the global cooldown. But because it tales 1.5 seconds to cast, the global cooldown is up by the time you finish casting the skill. Disturbance has always been spammable, don't need any talent points for that. I think the OP is confusing activation time with cooldown. Activation time is how long it takes you to cast it. The cooldown is how long before you can cast it again. It has a 1.5 second activation/cast time. Edited January 23, 2012 by Leiloni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallsignRazgriz Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Mental Alacrity: Increases Alacrity by 20%. Available at lvl 30 in the Telekinetics tree. Could also be alacrity from gear or a relic. Might also be Telekinetic Momentum process which fire additional disturbance animations for less damage. Could even be Tidal Force which gives an instant Telekinetic Wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kytea Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well, he was throwing one white ball approx every second, definetely faster than my 1.5seconds activatio (casting) time. It wasn't telekinetic momentum, as he was doing this 5-6 times in a row. Next time he's online I'll ask him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZanos Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Might have a lot of alacrity on his gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kytea Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Good point, I'll ask what his alacrity level is. I've been focusing on willpower and crit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Remorse- Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I saw the same thing happening In a warzone today. I was like wth? lol It looked petty funny but I never considered he could have that stat on his gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borobob Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) If you continuously queue up Disturbance after Disturbance, the activation time actually begins before the animation finishes so it appears like you're spamming it with no CD. HINT: set your skill queue in preferences to the max (1sec) Edited January 23, 2012 by Borobob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savesthaday Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Maybe he was throwing Telekinetic Waves mixed in with the disturbances, with the instant activation proc from the Tidal force talent? I know that kinda looks like a white ball similar to the disturbance ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khadroth Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Maybe he was throwing Telekinetic Waves mixed in with the disturbances, with the instant activation proc from the Tidal force talent? I know that kinda looks like a white ball similar to the disturbance ball. It was Disturbance with either Mental Alacrity active or a Relic, though honestly, only Mental could approach 1 second levels pre-50. Additional Alacrity can reduce the GCD below 1.5 seoncds on abilities whose cast time when reduced would be less than the normal 1.5 second GCD. So since Dist is normally 1.5 seconds, any amount of Alacrity will allow you to chain cast it faster than the GCD.
