    We've been over this term a few times already in the past months, but you need look no further than the prior post:

    A soft CD is a CD that can, at proportionate penalty, be used early.

    Not sure I've seen that before. Does it have a recharge? Is there any ability in the game right now that works like that?

    Pretty much every DoT ever (except Circle of Scorn, Sonic Break, etc), full potency after whatever duration, and can be applied early. What makes DoTs a "soft" CD is that it's not a cooldown but you want to wait similar to a cooldown.

    Abilities like WAR Storms Eye and RPR Death's Design (can't remember the actual skill name, just the status) are also soft cooldowns.
