How to use it
Pick two skills and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first skill, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total seconds. Try blade barrier at 36 against counter strike at 1 for the widest gap, then blitz at 3.5 against ring of steel at 3.5 for a tie. Only seconds are used here.
Rows pin base rank 1 recharge from the official wiki skill pages. Max ranks can cut times: blade barrier 36 down to 16, pneumatic burst stays 10 in the listed ranks. Transmuters change math and sit outside base rows: tremor adds 100 percent cooldown reduction to forcewave, frenetic throw cuts 3 seconds from phantasmal blades, breath of belgothian cuts 5 seconds from pneumatic burst. Devotion procs, gear and patches shift these numbers in game and stay out of base math.
