COD Trivia[edit]

I don't know if that trivia note is needed. The skill is completely unrelated to the COD perk. If a trivia note is needed it should be pertaining to the secret manipulation of objects with one's hand ---> Sleight of Hand Venom20 User Venom20-icon-0602-sm-black.png 04:32, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I'd go with the native definition of the term as well. Sleight of hand is in many pop-culture references.(Xu Davella 04:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC))

Daze Duration[edit]

Anyone knows? Dominox 20:45, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Recharge Reduction Formula[edit]

After the first update today this trait reduced the recharge time of Steal to 50% of its base total, 17.5 seconds down from 35, since in order to apply it you are required to invest 30 points into Trickery. After a second patch a few hours later the trait subtracted time from the already modified total (27 seconds) rather than from the base total, adding 4 seconds to the total recharge. Is this intentional? It was not announced as far as I am aware. Kyrus 21:32, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

There is a distinction between reduces the recharge or recharges faster and increases recharge rate. For reduces the recharge or recharges faster, the math is:

time = time - (time * reduce_by).

For increases recharge rate, the math is:

time = time / (1 + reduce_by).

In the case of Sleight of Hand, both are used:

time = 35;
time = time - (time * .2);
time = time / (1 + .3);

the result would be approx. 21.54 or 21½. --50.135.3.248 06:13, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
