Skill - Demon Mystic skill Rapid Growth does not reduce cooldown

I only recently noticed this when I happened to notice the Demon Rapid Growth's Skillbook description.
Demon Rapid Growth's skill tooltip reads
Which shows the Demon effect as "Demon version reduces the cooldown by 10%", and it shows the Cooldown as 31.5 seconds instead of 35 seconds, which should be the correct cooldown.
HOWEVER, the Demon Rapid Growth skillbook reads
So, I tested my Rapid Growth multiple times with a stopwatch, and the cooldown is still 35 seconds. It is not a 31.5 seconds cooldown.
I am starting to believe the channeling time is the correct description, but because Mystic skills are already fast, it's hard to tell. We need to know the intended Demon Rapid Growth effect. Is it a cooldown decrease, or a channeling speed increase?

I have been noticing this with skills lately, I thought maybe my timing was off, but yea... a lot of skills that say they 'reduce the cooldown' does not seem to work as 'promised.' (the cooldown time on the skill that you 'read' is definitely effected but when you time the actual cooldown it remains the same as if it were at lvl 10. Which just so doesn't seem right at all. )Ah, Mistakes are so easily made. ~ laura resnick
What kind of message are you sending when you insult my intelligence? ~ Me ~ 5/29/2015 (Yes it is possible someone said this before just no idea who/where.)0 -
The reduced channeling time is correct. You can see the difference when you compare it to Demon spark.0

A lot of mystic's skills description are wrong.0

Yep, this should be channeling speed. I'll see if I can slip this fix into the next patch.==/Senior QA Lead/==

^This.
Not to sound ungrateful, but you could also take a look at demon spark giving 700% attack not 500%; Weeping Breeze Dance reducing hp by 7% not 8%; Invigorate should specify it only works for PvE, Vital Herb lasts 40 sec not 20 even if the animation ends prematurely and I can't make anything out of the rest of its description; I'm not even going to go into Absorb Soul who had 3 descriptions since mystics came out, all wrong lol.
And not really an error but everyone would appreciate Gale Force and Thicket actually saying a % instead of "has a chance to" but who cares how much.Youtube channel: youtube.com/user/FDB190 -

'And for rapid growth it should be "Demon version reduces the channeling time by 10%." Giving it a grand total of -30%.
As weeping breeze dance description is wrong, So is Storm Dance.
maximum[SPACE]Health by 7%...
"Has a chance to reduce the channeling time of your next Absorb Soul within 6 seconds by 50%. The chance to reduce the channeling time is up to 50%, based on your Soulforce."
Cooldown should be changed to channeling time basically.0 -

Like I said, even if the animation (and buff) disappear prematurely the actual healing effect lasts 40 sec. Test it.Youtube channel: youtube.com/user/FDB190 -
Wow you're right... I never did notice that o_O
It does last 40 seconds... Although i did find that heals are less at the end0 -
Thank you for the attempt, Surtr! But, I'm afraid I'm not sure that was the intention.
It now states: Demon version reduces the channeling time by 10%., and it shows "Channel 0.54 seconds", a reduction of 10% from .6 seconds, the original channel time for the skill.
I am pretty sure that was not the intended effect, because that's rather silly. I think it is instead something to the effect of:
"Demon version increases your channeling speed by an additional 10%." to be in line with how the skill book itself reads.
If I'm wrong, I apologize in advance0
