The coldown in APD has been increased (45sec for coldown, and 30sec for global coldown), why? it ruins all the coldown armony with APO..

    It's always been like that. You can cycle APB, but APD has always had a 45 sec cooldown and 30 sec global.

    why the hell was this done? now it has a 45 second cooldown, 30 second global, with its usual 15 second duration. beta is still 30/15/15

    but beta sucks, thanks to TT up time that ships have 2 ways to put on global with just 1 copy of.

    this completely ruins my escort build synergy, delta was a great for using between 2 APO, now it would just interfere to much with cooldowns to be of any use. this is now a heal cruiser LT tac power only

    so why the escort nerf?

    Uh, I'm pretty sure it's had those stats for a long while. Works fine with AP doffs & Omega 3.

    APD has been 45/30 ever since the S1.2 changes.

    I'll quote the relevant part from snix' "Duration / Recharge Category System Incoming on Tribble" thread that had all the information:
    Attack Pattern Delta
    Category: 3
    Duration: 15
    Recharge: 45
    Global Cooldown: 30
    System Cooldown: 15 Maneuvers
    Note: Grants a damage resistance buff to self or ally. Attackers that attack ally mark themselves with a damage resistance and stealth debuff.

    damm, DDIS confused me, he say it in the opvp that the coldowns where increased to 45-30, so i checked and they was 45-30, but seems like i forgot the detail that there were always like that

    Blame DDIS for my stupid post :P

    this is baffling, i watched it have an APB like cool down yesterday. maybe tech doffs were overriding its global, but now its not.

    if it wasn't stealth nerfed, good. don't know why it would have cooldowns different from beta though.

    I just double checked it on one of my dual omega, single delta Escorts. Without Tactical Initiative, it seems to work as I remembered it. You could always cycle the first omega, then delta, then the second omega. After that there is a 15 second gap while you wait for the first omega or delta to finish their cool down. Then it starts all over again.

    I only ever remember perfect coverage from dual Omegas and a single Beta. But then again, I didn't typically fly this style of escort so it's not impossible that I'm misremembering. Certainly wouldn't be the first time.

    nah the CD`s between omega/delata are same as before today`s patch. I`m using it still, it`s great, way better than beta. Altho sometimes i trigger delta in wrong time, but it`s awesome in dog fight.
