Tested it on my DC. Used a daily power, refilled my AP in ~15 sec, recast daily power and I instantly got 25% AP.

    lol and what is your problem?
    Tooltip says: When using a daily power, there is a chance 25% of your AP will be immediately restored.
    First of all, it is a chance and does not give you permamently 25% of your ap after using a Daily. This is working how expected and how the tooltip says.

    That's a problem with the tooltip. It's not "a chance". @asterdahl (I think!) explained that it restores AP 100% of the time, when it is off a 30-second internal cooldown, when players were asking to have clarification what the chance was. The tooltip was supposed to be changed to reflect the actual behavior, but if the set now has no cooldown, it requires more fixing than just the tooltip.

    Edit: Okay, "The Chance" is based on this 30 sec cooldown? Good to know xD Thats why I never see the 25% 2x in a row?
    It seems to be a weird bug or it is the "a Chance"-mechanics and we shouldn't know about it :wink: I would preffer a chance in % and not based on cooldown :blush:
    Btw, this set still have 30 sec cooldown on legendary quality.

    "Chance" is simply an unclear word choice in a lot of NW tooltips because many things described as "a chance" are actually ruled by an internal cooldown and will always proc as soon as they're able.

    FIXED - tested on PTS
    Thank you becky for support on this. *I also think we are agreed on that this bug was against the goal of the actual changes.
    @terramak please correct the tooltip of the set to be in line w/ the functionality of the set effect. thanks.

    It has a 30 sec ICD on live and now it has -again- the ICD on PTS. As becky wrote, the functionality was clarified by @asterdahl (i think) a while ago. I do like the ICD more than the chance, so we are disagreeing on this, but everything can't be perfect :) The tooltip shall be corrected.
