For short cooldowns, this is useful, because you can start casting the spell while the spell cooldown is going. Let's take Cannibalize 4 as an example. Cast Time: 2.5 Seconds Cooldown Time: 3 Seconds Lets say it takes 0.8 seconds for the top spell gem to pop back up after your global cooldown item has been cast. 1. You cast your global refresh cooldown item after your first cast of Cannibalize 4. 2. That means Cannibalize 4 has 2.2 seconds left on its cooldown, when accounting for the 0.8 seconds it took to get the spell gem back. 3. You start casting cannibalize 4 again. The casting time is 2.5 seconds, and the remaining cooldown time is 2.2 seconds. That means the Cannibalize 4 will finish casting 0.2 seconds after the cooldown has finished. That is what I mean by saving up to the spell's casting time. There is some variation based on how quickly you can do the combo. Once in a blue moon I get the "casting timer not met" message during my Cannibalize 4 sessions if I am a little too fast. If this "feature" was not in the game, you would have to wait an additional 3 seconds per Cannibalize 4, because you are waiting for the spell gem to come back up first. EDIT: The reason why I don't say "saving the spell's cooldown" is because I just want to make sure people understand what is going on. Technically you are saving the spell's casting time, not the cooldown time, because refreshing your global cooldown always needs to take enough time to put the total time over the cooldown time (2.5 seconds + 0.8 seconds in this example is over 3 seconds). It is more splitting hairs at this point on my end hehe. I guess the most accurate way to put it would be "You save the spell's cooldown time, but you still need to spend X additional seconds in casting after the cooldown, where X is the remaining casting time after the cooldown has finished."

I don't get it.
Imagine a spell that has a 30 seconds CAST TIME and 5 seconds COOLDOWN. You won't ever save up to 30 seconds by memming it in slot 1 - the spell still takes 30 seconds to cast. But you will save up to 5 seconds by doing so (because 30 > 5, the spell will always succeed as it will never complete before its cooldown is over), as it will allow you to START casting the spell before the cooldown is over. Therefore, you are saving up to 5 seconds of time, which happens to be the spell's cooldown. Maybe I'm not seeing something obvious.. Now on short-casting spells, the figures are a bit different but still, at no point you're saving spell's casting time unless it's a coincidence. | ||

If you want a sentence that covers every single possibility (not the general case), it would be something like this: "You save up to the cooldown or casting time (which-ever one is longer), assuming the cooldown and casting time are roughly equivalent, and short enough to spam with a cooldown refresh item. You are still spending an additional x seconds, where x is the extra time it takes to make up the difference between the cooldown and casting time when refreshing your spell gems. "

That's a valid example of saving the cooldown Izmael. Now for one where you save the cast time: pacify, a 3 second cast with 6 second cool down.
Normal slot: finish in 9 seconds. Top slot: rejected if it finishes before 6 seconds (you save up to the 3 second cast time). It seems you save the lesser of the two. | ||
