Phantom

Stealing Final Cut and Cooldown

So I know that Phantoms can steal Final Cut from DBs in the next revamp, but I also heard that there is a long cooldwon for the short buff (60sec buff I think?). Isn't there a way to get rid of the cooldown from Azwan or something?

I just wanted to confirm this, thanks.

JoeTang has posted the new Phantom %/s tables on Southperry if anyone is interested - the numbers are far higher than I had anticipated! He doesn't use Final Cut in his tables though. Phantom is the strongest (%/s wise) Thief after RED. Xenon will remain the strongest overall due to his broken damage formula though I imagine.

If not it'll last even less than 60 seconds, not sure the exact reduction but I recall it being around 70% or so, so it'd last 42 seconds instead of 60 (with the same 90 sec cooldown), which makes it significantly less beneficial, but still a nice damage boost.[/quote]
They removed that after the cygnus revamp

Ehh +32% buff duration might exist on legendary tier
but after 500 circulators i've noticed that the stats work
like potentials now. Where when I was epic I gained a
ton of 7 or 9% buff duration and at unique only 19% buff duration
on the top line. Unless someone can confirm that 32% exists
on unique. If you recirculate you will notice a lot of fixed stats
like +15/+8 stats 7% duration ect. Though I could be wrong[/quote]

[quote=wingless666]60 sec with a 90 sec cd,
I don't mind the cd since
It fits in with your hyper
and TOC buff. You can't
get rid of the cd but you
can make it shorter not
or make the buff last longer.
Though I doubt with the new
inner ability change that you
could go 50%+ cd reduce....[/quote]

Rather easy. +32% buff duration (should) still exist, I'm pretty sure people have said they've gotten it.
10% buff duration from Mechanic's level 70 character card. Or if you're feeling particularly frisky, go for 120 for 15% buff duration.

Already, that's 42%-47% (depending on where you stop your mech). If you level a Mercedes to 70, you'll also get an additional 2 seconds deducted from the 90 second cooldown. That means you'll have a cooldown of 88 seconds, making 42% buff duration pretty much fine. Also, in that same update Empathy gives buff duration, up to I believe 10%. It's easy enough.

Cooldown reduce Inner Abilities or Mech and Mercedes character cards.
