Talk:HSR

Stacking effects? Yes but capped
Anybody know if HSR mods stack? - Kay
 * The probablities stack by complement multiplication. The effect capped at 50% reduction. - 20:22, 26 July 2006 (CDT)
 * An example would be if you have a wand that has 20%HSR and an offhand which gives 20% HSR, you'll have a 36% chance of HSR. --Xasxas256 20:23, 26 July 2006 (CDT)
 * i'm fairly sure it's 32% half and 4% quarter, which would be a simple layered addition. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 01:06, 2 August 2006 (CDT)
 * No, it's capped at 50% (half) reduction, you can't have quarter. And then 32% + 4% give the correct 36%. 134.130.4.46 06:40, 2 October 2006 (CDT)

Effect on Binding Rituals? No
Quick question - I know it says (for example) "Halves skill recharge of Communing spells (Chance: 20%)", but does that only affect Spells? or does it affect Binding Rituals as well? It's just that to the best of my knowledge there are only 10 Communing Spells, of which two are elites.
 * It says spells, so I expect them to only work on spells. I don't think Anet is likely to make an exception for Communing just because there are less spells under the Communing attribute.  Besides, you only have 8 slots on your skill bar anyways. - 01:00, 2 August 2006 (CDT)

Generic meaning
HSR means literally "Halves Skill Recharge" as a game abbreviation, so I'd reverted the modification from 134.130.4.46, and instead added a note about the phrasing sometimes used in trading slang. --Leonim 07:49, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
 * The anonymous user is correct. The game text for this changed a while ago.  Even when it said "skills" it never worked on all skills, only spells.  --Fyren 10:05, 2 October 2006 (CDT)
