How do the DOFF energy weapons officers work

The ones where you get a chance to reduce recharge time on BFAW do not seem to work,
any light on this matter?

Thanks

    They're a 50% chance of a reduction. They work fine (I'm using them with one build now).

    Like all chance-based procs, there's a chance of nothing happening. You can address that by using more than one of them, but you will never get the proc chance to 100%, since it's not additive.

    I'm not sure how else to explain it.

    These work really well, 50% chance to reduce FAW and BO by 10 seconds...

    I use 2 purples to reduce the cooldown of my BO3,

    If I'm unlucky I get no reduction, if I'm a little lucky it reduces it by 10 seconds and if I'm super lucky it gets reduced to its global.

    I don't think mine work, they never seem to give a reduction, I have two BFAW, one cools at 30sec (the one just activated) and the other at 20sec (the other one)

    You're never going to get the cooldown on FAW below 20 seconds, so if you've got two copies of the power, you wasted money on doffs.

    And, whatever you think you're seeing, they work fine.
