Suggestion Add "cooldown reduction" to attributes

[Isaaclite]

Attributes so far, buff skill damage, healing, normal attacks, speed, mana regen/amount, etc... So I just thought it would be pretty neat to add skill cool down reduction to the list. Maybe it can be added to wisdom or constitution, or it can be a whole other/new attribute. Adding cool down reduction for an attribute effect can allow for greater variation in attribute spreads and make pvp and pve more interesting and fun. Any thoughts?

I'd love that, as we'd be able to make a class that does low damage but really high rates, like crowd control

I thought about suggesting this, but it would be way t op in some cases.... .5 sec 90 base damage fireball anyone?

Imagine how fast mana would deplete and the fact you can miss fireball very easily

First and foremost, there would need to be a hard cap. Secondly, would the theoretical attribute have a second use besides cooldown reduction? I could see it happening, but not until we balance the classes the way they are now.

In order to balance there needs to be a base amount of Knowns. @Kainzo has posted several things suggesting that one of the basic Knowns he prefers to maintain (and not add scaling too) is Skill Cooldowns. Needs confirm.

In my opinion Cooldown stability is excellent for Balance math and it is my starting point when I try to rate things like class burst damage or sustained DPS.

Also, expect complex gameplay mechanics (like CDR) to be more prevalent as the HC customization continues. Ideally, soon we will be able to grant items that are just as beneficial to a skill based class as the current ones are to left-click based classes.
