CTR is way too pivotal on specific items and too pointless on others. Some items need their base charge times reduced, and CTR as a whole needs to be toned down a bit while still being more powerful than flat damage.
Bombs especially are extremely reliant on CTR compared to guns and swords that utilize ASI.
I really don't see why CTR can't make a difference of 4% per level like every other bonus. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Charge times should be fixed...
but people like watching worlds burn
Skold: "this is imbalanced but we should leave it that way because I like things being bad"
no get out.
I don't know which of Skold's fourteen rainbow-coloured flickering comments you read but none of them say that.
Swap the old timey charge time mechanic for the cool down system.
Bomb adoption goes through the roof.
Oh, yes, please. I'm all for that. I mean, it's not like it'd be hard to code, right? They've got the tools with status conditions and buffs and everything. I feel like it'd be even better than tinkering with charge times... and it'd be an incredibly good way to balance so many different things.
The unelighted gamers,
You cannot make the judement call,
give up freewill forever,
YOUR VOICES won't be heard at all!
Display obedience!
While never stepping out of line!
And blindly swear your alligence!
Let your MMO control your mind,
LET YOUR MMO control you soul!
Live in ignorance and purchase you prizeboxes,
When the money and cash is the real cause.
Thinking ceases and the truth is lost!
Don't you worry, you will be told exactly what to grind,
I give my players the promos they need,
The righteous shall succeed!
The fires of greed will burn the F2P,
So I make mist tanks obsolete!
Breaking down the fabrics of reality!
Let collective consciousness control what you see!
Let your MMO control your soul,
LET YOUR MMO control you mind!
let your MMO control your soul,
LET YOUR MMO control you MIIIIIIIIIIIIINDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not being a troll or anything, but I am pretty sure this is what SEGA's OOO contractor is thinking right now. Or just WoW developers. The poem is a parody of the sound collective consciousness, you can check it out on utube if you r bored, it is a good song. :3

So basically, you posted to say that posting on the forums is useless...
@OP
I don't really pay attention to the exact mechanics, so i can't say for sure whether or not CTR needs to be fixed. Although, i like how not every weapon needs CTR, that way I can choose which augmenting armor would be best suited for which weapon. If every bonus could be used evenly with every weapon, it would be kinda boring. For example, I like how damage and CTR bonuses are great on WHB, while ASI (and possible slight damage bonus) are better on DVS. I'm a weapon collector that has a different loadout for each situation, so I want each combination to be as unique as possible.
That being said, I didn't fully understand what it was you were suggesting (from my own stupidity, not your lack of detail) so if my post is completely irrelevant you are free to ignore me :\
You're thinking that balancing CTR and its effects against the other bonuses would mean that the bonuses would be just as valuable as each other in every situation.
ASI and CTR will still be worlds apart in usefulness on weapons like the Rocket Hammer.
Ctr is pretty much... The only thing bombs need. I would agree putting a lage delay on the brandish charge time, but everything else is pretty balanced. Well, except for the volcanic pepperbox... Something that small should charge faster than the average blitz
