How much did you managed to reduce the cooldown of your active defense? Using cooldown reduction/Int gear, specializations and advantages and what not?

I've heard of people pulling off Perma-AD and/or Perma-AO by alternating between two, but I think that involved heavy reliance on Revitalize before it got nerfed.
@flamingbunnyman in game. Formerly @Roderick in City of Heroes.
Speaking of which, how is the cooldown reduction calculated?
If you're almost at 200% (30s)...then you're basically at perma as well.
VARIANT

-Abraham Lincoln-
So you can only reduce it to 30s?
Lowest I can push myself to(solo) is 20 seconds.
I can also perma-ad/ao myself(solo) if I so choose to without the need of revitalize.
By 'perma' I mean literally MD all day long non-stop.
Wait, you can get ONE AD perma, not alternating between two? :eek:

Yes I can perma MD/ES myself if I so choose to. (ES being significantly easier to do while MD being a bit harder but completely possible)
Rec primary, stacking int, protector spec, appropriate gear, aura of arcane clarity.. hmm, I don't thank that is enough? Nanobots have a higher cooldown so could not be used in between every single AD.
No. Recovery Primary does not give enough cooldown reduction to make it worthwhile. Int stacking is the only way to perma MD yourself(active offenses can have 18 second durations so they can be perma'd by Recovery Primary)
Now, I can perma AD/AO myself if I actually put work into it.
Masterful Dodge lasts 15 seconds with a cooldown of 20 seconds.
Rank 3 Nanobot Swarm turns 20 second cooldowns into 15 second cooldowns.
Rank 3 Nanobot Swarm has a cooldown of 28 Seconds.

Before the revitalize 'nerf' 25 seconds was the lowest(""highest"") that the old revitalize could perma-md yourself.
Now after the revitalize 'nerf'
Rank 3 revitalize with:
25 second cd has a 5 second delay before MD is up again.
22 second cd has a 3 second delay before MD is up again.
And now I need to go do stuff so until later~~
Have you tried REC Primary and speccing nothing but INT?
Lemme guess: for Second Wind?
Well, yeah.
Using a Passive such as PFF, which keeps you from needing to spec CON, you don't really need to spec REC, so you grab Second Wind and fuel it with INT specced up the wahzoo!
VIPER can bypass PFF. I think something akin to Invulnerability would work better.
