Reward Recast And Brv. Warbonnet / Stout Bonnet?

How does each item affect Reward Recast?

They both look so similar. Can anyone make a solid, factful recommendation?

Thank you!

Hi Felgarr! :)

Despite the comment on the Stout Bonnet page, the recast reduction for that piece is -15sec.

The NQ bonnets are -10sec and the HQs are both -15sec.

Was doing some Reward testing so I could answer your question thoroughly:
Reward Recast Reduction caps at -25%, and the only thing that breaks the cap is the Reward Recast merit category.

0/5 Reward Recast Merits
Reward Recast = 1min 30sec
w/ = 1min 20sec
w/ = 1min 15sec
w/ = 1min 13sec
w/ + = 1min 7sec
w/ + = 1min 7sec

5/5 Reward Recast Merits
Reward Recast = 1min 15sec
w/ = 1min 5sec
w/ = 1min
w/ = 58sec
w/ + = 52sec
w/ + = 52sec

So... Reward Recast Reduction caps at -23 seconds (25% of 90) and you don't even need an HQ Bonnet to cap as long as you have reforged AF or Relic legs. Hope that helps. :)

You are amazing. Thank you sir!

Long live Beastmaster! :D

Have always thought stout bonnet only need to be equipped at time of reward, but thought I would ask. Thanks.
