Strength and Melee Abilities Mechanics
Players can increase their strength stat to reduce the cooldown of their Melee Abilities.
When you have no strength and thus 0% cooldown reduction bonus to your melee abilities, your melee ability recharges in 1 minute and 9 seconds.
When you have enough strength to have 100% cooldown reduction bonus to your melee abilities, your melee ability recharges in 31 seconds (45% of original recharge).
