Hello,
I just crafted a freezing vaporizer CTR low. I was wondering how this compares to CTR med or even high at 5*(10).
Does CTR stack, or does it max out once it reaches CTR high?
Charge time reduction low v high

hmmm
I am maining swords, and would like to be able to drop bombs quicker. How fast does a max ctr take? Are we talking 5 secs v 1 sec, or is it a very slight difference? From what I've seen in the auction house or even on the forums a MAX CTR is very very pricey. I have crafted a few times and have never made anything with even a medium UV. Which makes me wonder how hard it is to actually craft a high or very high.

see Bombing Guide
See http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Bombing_Guide#Bomb_Charge_Time . It tells you exactly how long bombs take to charge, at various levels of CTR.
Abilities stack up to 6 ranks ("maximum"), the equivalent of "medium" (from level 10) plus "very high" (the strongest UV you can get). If you don't happen to have a super-lucky UV, you can still get max CTR using bomber armor or trinkets (if you so desire).
Charge time reduction cuts around 7.5% off the charge time per rank, meaning CTR max charges nearly twice as fast as a bomb with no CTR.
CTR UVs are highly coveted on bombs--especially freezing vaporizers, because they are often used as a utility weapon by non-bombers (who therefore don't want to wear bomber armor or trinkets). A low CTR UV is not as good as a stronger one, of course, but is still pretty lucky if you got it on the first try.
