Only with Disruption.......no, especially in legendary. Choose Sorcery as second mastery and you will own everyone!!!!! Thaumaturgist is a killing machine.....
Moreover, try to get +4 to all skills: Alchemy gives you in that case a total of 16% dodge attacks and 45% evade projectiles!!! If you manage to get the right equip (example: Zeno third paradox shield, Hermes talaria, Stonebinder sash etc....) you can reach 100% dodge, and find yourself with a semi invincible mage that casts +4 Avalanche without recharge!!!!!

Another advice: for the recharge i recommend you not to use the -recharge skill of Sorcery; equip instead for the arms Archmage's clasp (my reach alone -47% recharge, and it gives +X% casting speed, too!!!), for the head Tracker's hood (mine have reached -41% recharge), and finally enchant a green armor with incarnation of golden fleece (completion bonus: -8% recharge). Doing so will grant you a total of -96% recharge with the use of ONLY 2 equipment "slots" (helm and bracers).

Hi Pegaso and Wispo,

Since you guys are on the topic of -recharge, i just want to ask is there a cap for -%recharge? like if u can get pass -100% recharge with items will that take into effect or it's all -%recharge capped at -100%?

I am planning on going for -100% recharge for disruption too!

Hi Ruri
According to my experience, is possible to gain -100% recharge: no caps to 80% like elemental resistance, you can actually use a skill repeatedly
As for going over -100% (i.e. -108%) i don't know what effects this can bring.
However, i've always reached -100% using basically Tracker's hood (-41% recharge), Archmage's clasp (-47%), Heka staff (-23%), Shaman headress (monster infrequent, -11%), Shaman greaves (monster infrequent, -11%), Yuya garb (-20%) and Jade emperor artifact (-25%).

Thanks for the reply, I have got pretty much the same item setup for -%recharge. Just wonder if it's worthwhile to go over -100%. Correct me if i am wrong, but i take it with even -100% recharge you still can't spam some skills that originally has a long recharge time right? -100% recharge just cut that recharge time in half am i correct?

No...... You CAN spam them!!!!!! I still have a dual wielding conqueror that can fit my example.......
I've equipped it with 2 Likaio Malleus (-17% recharge each= -34%), a Tracker's hood (-41%) and the Jade emperor artifact (-25%).

34+41+25= 100

With exactly -100% cooldown, is very possible to spam repeatedly Colossus form, that is probably the skill with the longer cooldown in the game (360 seconds, if i can remember well)
So don't worry

That's good to hear, once i hit lv 55 then i will be able to equip Jade emperor artifact and that should take me well over -100% recharge.

I am thinking on spamming traps for contruction masteries which all of them seems to have quite a long cooldown time. But if Colossus form works, traps shouldn't be a problem at all

Think how much cool can be to spam automatos, avalanche, meteor, or........... ESCAPE THE FATE!!!!!
100% damage absorption....forever!!!!!! A mage with -100% recharge and -100% energy consumption can cast tremendous magic while making a mockery of Barmanu' meteors......

haha, u are definitely right about spamming high level spells from the socerary mastery with -100% recharge! it's total destruction~ i ditched the construction spells altogether cuz of that! and just put implosion on my left click button~ what item setup can achieve both -100% recharge and -100 energy consumption?

Still I have to say spamming rains of disruption bombs from the top of the great wall to the other end of it, is the coolest thing u can do in Titan quest!!

I'll tell you the stats of MY items, reached via duplication in TQ Vault (= i've selected the best copies born from the duplication of the original item)

Heka staff -23% recharge -20% consumption (item seed in TQ Vault: 2779)

Bai Hu mantle (enchanted with Incarnation of golden fleece) total: -8% recharge -52% consumption (item seed: 24735)

Enchanted medallion (green item) -26% consumption (item seed: 532)

Archmage clasp -47% recharge (item seed: 5707)

Jade emperor artifact -25% recharge


Total -recharge: 23+8+47+25= -103% cooldown

Total -consumption: 20+52+26= -98% consumption

These item moreover give you good mana regeneration, so -98% isn't a problem
If you need some of them just let me know
