Rdm Debuffs are so useless, why?

Hmm no, QD recast cap at 35 secs, you can't go any lower than that even if you use both w head and acp body, that's why the ideal QD set only use 1 piece of QD recast- gear but not both since using both QD recast- gears doesn't do anything. Here's the possible QD recast- obtainable:

-10 sec from merits
-5 sec from W mask
-5 sec from ACP body
-10 sec from gifts

Even with all of above the lowest recast still capped at 35 sec. I have both -5 recast from W mask and ACP body, and all JP and recast merits, never managed to hit 30 sec recast, the lowest is recast is 35 sec.

That might be the numbers you are getting, but the numbers I get are different, I get 32 seconds. None the less this is a rdm forum not a cor forum.

Edit: just tested and got 32 seconds still.

It's a RDM forum but it's still related to game.

I tested with both QD recast- gears and I got 35 sec instead of 30 sec. I checked wiki and it says the hard cap for recast-. There were QD recast- cap discussion years ago when 550 gift was out. Are you sure it isn't some sort of add on/plug in recast display glitch?

I'd be interested to see a SS of QD recast @ 32 sec using default interface.

I can confirm that the hard cap is 35s whatever you do. I didn't know this before and spent some effort getting the synergy item with -5s on it, only to find that the timer itself would "sometimes" show 30s but an extra 5s would have to pass before you could actually make the shot.

There seems to be a bug in the code for whenever you surpass the hard cap of 35s, which is most likely related to the 2 QD stacking mechanism. You'll see the wrong time shown for the next shot.

When they first added the 2 QD stacking mechanism, people were able to trick the timers into showing -2s or similar using the right gear and were able to QD over and over with no delay (you'd see CORs soloing ZNMs with QD kiting). They fixed that but there is still an issue showing the right recast timers when using more than -25s QD gear/JP/MP.
