i know how to fix -recharge :-)

Hello world

as we all know, the "skillCooldownReduction" (aka -%recharge) does not work on green items but it works on MI and Uniques.

well, thats partially true: the -recharge DOES NOT work as a suffix to an item.

it works when we add it as a prefix; surprisingly when we add -recharge as a prefix AND also as a suffix -> the suffix works then

i've attached a vault file with some test items so you can all check it for yourself.

the only thing left to do is to modify the database - and that would be a task for someone with experience.

i see one option: change the generation of green items and replace the prefixes with suffixes (but i guess that would be much work?)

an alternative would be to always add a prefix for those items (all normal prefixes would get -1% recharge, so when we get the suffix - it will work.. and if the item was meant to be without prefix - explicitely give it prefix with -1%). but i think that this is even uglier solution than the first one (that would require increasing odds of bothSuffixAndPrefix and zeroing odds of onlyPrefix)


there is one other thing that someone with artmanager skills could test/verify - the MI and Uniques work because theirs 'skillCooldownReduction' is not on prefix/suffix but on item's definition itself. there is a possibility that item that already has some -recharge could benefit from the -recharge suffix. i don't know how many different green items can get the 'Records\XPack\Item\LootMagicalAffixes\Suffix\Defa ult\Rare_%cooldown%mana_01.dbr' suffix, but if it's not a lot - maybe we could add for those items -1% recharge?

Some items such as Neanderthal shaman monster infrequent items the rediction is in "skillCooldownReductionModifier", and in unique items, like Archmage's Clasp it's in "skillCooldownReduction". And if you don't have any -rechrage already, the obviously +%x more will still be zero.

All you have to change is the value from the "skillCooldownReductionModifier" to the "skillCooldownReduction" with those.

the rare suffix that is buggy already has "skillCooldownReduction"

maybe other items have "skillCooldownReductionModifier" but the helmet i got had the one with "skillCooldownReduction" and the listed -recharge started working when i switched it to a prefix

or maybe i'm still too inexperienced and didn't catch your idea/suggestion

While this is very interesting information, I don't think there's any way to act on it in the database. There's no way to restrict a given suffix to only spawn with certain prefixes. Also, making prefixes as replacements is more in the realm of an addition than a fix - people who've already gathered the suffix items will still be SOL.

I think the French bugfix is the best available for now - but with this new information, maybe someone much more knowledgeable than I could have a look in the .exe and .dll files for the screwed up equation and create a SSTQDefiler-type fix.
