Enchanted Quiver and Buff Duration

I'm running into a problem where the Enchanted Quiver cooldown is lasting longer than 30 seconds, which is keeping me from recasting it immediately once it expires. Can increasing buff duration alleviate this?

I already have an inner ability that I like, so I can't go for the buff duration IA to test it. My Empathy is also only level 39, so the buff duration bonus is pretty negligible. Does anyone with a buff duration IA or a higher level of Empathy notice this problem with Enchanted Quiver? Thanks.

I might be the closest person here to LA so I'll just put this question to rest.

Buff duration affects Advanced Quiver. I never have problems recasting it before the duration ends (Mech S card + a bit of empathy). Merc cdr works too for the record.

if u have problem is because of lag in the server sometimes i can run over two hour of game play without having quiver to last shorter than the cooldown but sometimes if the whole different way

This is hard to tell. It seems to be on a similar case like Asura where the duration is affected by server lag, which can lead to 5-10+ seconds beyond the norm despite being an attack and a Hyper Skill. Advanced Quiver on the other hand is a buff, and isn't a Hyper Skill, so doing several tests again leads me to believe that it should be affected by Buff Duration, but with 15% from my Mech, and 1% from Empathy, that should result in 34.8 seconds, not upwards to 40-45 seconds.

So Buff Duration is inconclusive, but I'm leaning to yes. However, server lag affects both the duration and cooldown. Getting a S-Rank Merc character card (-4% cooldown) can alleviate some of this, but even with it, the cooldown can fluctuate from time to time as with the duration.

[quote=dan445566]Buff duration does affect it. With Mech character card @ S (15%), it should last long enough for you to cast it again before it expires (when it flashes, cast again). Thus, just train a mech mule to 100 and everything will work out.[/quote]

Except this isn't the case, on paper yes, but in game no.

I don't think Buff Duration affects it. I have 15% from my Mech character card, and it should last 34.5 seconds, but it doesn't. Server lag also affects all cooldown skills, so therein lies the problem.
