The State of Machinist in DT - Let's talk about it (again).

Just like with anything else in this game, you need actually a programmer to spend some time to implement this.

It's an effect already attached to a skill and attachable to any other. Look at the skill property breakdowns parsed out of game data. The need only attach the property tag, its target, its weight, and they're done.

More likely, they haven't attached the CDR to Auto-crossbow because they want that property to be unique to Heat Blast rather than the two skills just being the 1-to-2-target and 3+target sides of an otherwise identical coin. They just then forgot to tune Auto-crossbow according to its competitor's buffs.,

The proper explanation is that they'd likely want to do this, but when they try and someone uses Autocrossbow, all instances of Grade 7 Tank pots get deleted from the entire server or some utterly random bullshit. Because it's always like that with "simple" changes in coding. Always.

Remember, you write a complain about this while it took them many months to fix smn broken talent to the point they shrugged it off with "we adjusted damage anyway".

Game is heavily understuffed/filled with people who do nothing every week and get free pay check from square. Tbh i am more inclined to just second point, I can't see these greedy devs hiring any intern to do tiny bit serious work.

Months? This flaw goes and is complained about as far as when Auto Crossbow was implemented a long time ago.

More likely, they haven't attached the CDR to Auto-crossbow because they want that property to be unique to Heat Blast rather than the two skills just being the 1-to-2-target and 3+target sides of an otherwise identical coin.

But isn't the point of Auto Crossbow to be the AoE version of Blazing Shot, as in the only two hypercharge spenders? Kind of similar to how we have so many actions with identical-but-aoe variants for other jobs.
