What exactly does Alacrity do?
On my healer commando, I obtained some mods to increase my Alacrity. I understand that it increases the speed at which abilities are casted, but what exactly does that mean.
Best Answer
No, that is not how that works.
If it did, that would mean 100% alacrity turns your GCD and other Cooldowns into thin air. You would be a god capable of killing anything instantly.. because for all the game cares you could unleash a billion attacks in a millisecond.
Alacrity increases the speed at which you operate. It doesn't Multiply, it devides.
That means a 3sec ability would not be done 5% faster flat out, but rather be done at 105% of normal operating speed. Thus turn the ability into 3/1.05=2.857 seconds.
Doesn't seem like a big deal with these small cooldowns, but once you apply it to a 3 minute one you'll see there is quite a difference between the 2 manners of calculating it. And I assure you mine is the right one.
