Ranks
Descriptions below preserve the source wording. Rank labels describe the source evidence; they are not independent gameplay verification.
| Rank | Effect | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reduces the global cooldown and cast time of your Slam ability by 0.25 sec. In addition, Slam no longer interrupts or delays your melee swing and Slam's cooldown is reduced by 3.0 sec. | Source reports client / community hotfix data |
| 2 | Reduces the global cooldown and cast time of your Slam ability by 0.50 sec. In addition, Slam no longer interrupts or delays your melee swing and Slam's cooldown is reduced by 3.0 sec. | Source reports client / community hotfix data |
Source discrepancy
The licensed hotfix overlay lists a 3.0-second Slam cooldown reduction at both ranks; the source author explicitly flags the earlier development-note value of 1.5 seconds at rank 1. This is an unresolved source discrepancy, not an independently verified correction. See the source comparison.
