Signets gain reduced recharge and continue to grant their passive bonuses while recharging.

  Recharge Reduced: 20%

— In-game description

Notes

• This trait actually causes signets to apply a temporary version of their passive effect to be applied for an amount of time equal to their respective recharge.
  • The temporary effect is removed when changing zones or being downed, meaning in those cases you will lose the effect of the signet until it recharges.

	Skill	Traited recharge
Healing	Signet of Restoration	25	→	20
Utility	Signet of Air	25	→	20
	Signet of Earth	25	→	20
	Signet of Fire	15	→	12
	Signet of Water	20	→	16
