Can someone clarify how Avatar works (especially with Phazezerker COM)

So besides not displaying 2 charges like you would think, Avatar seems really whack with cooldown rates. I activate my action skill, then there’s 5 seconds left on the cooldown, I activate it again and all of a sudden there’s more cooldown time added? Why is that?

Is it something to do with having the Phasezerker mod equipped? If anything wouldn’t activating my action skill again speed up the cooldown since I’m resetting my rush stacks to 25?

That’s just how Avatar works. You are allowed 1 extra cast while on cooldown but the cooldown after is based on your 2nd cast - basically it resets the cooldown of your AS to the max.

Phasezerker doesn’t affect this.

Ah ok so basically the way to do it is use the 2nd use of your action skill 1 second after the first?

If you were full shields after the first cast and didn’t have full shields after the second cast, the action skill timer will be longer if you have that guardian rank perk for action skill cooldown.

It cuts a ton of time off and it’s very noticeable between when you have full shields and when you don’t have full shields.
