(2020) Fist of war support and Cooldown Recovery Rate?

I know that CRR effects things like Cast On Criticals cooldown, but I haven't really messed with supports with a general cooldown before, does anyone know if CDD effects things of this nature? I'm not sure what to compare it too as a precedent.

If its like a 2 second cooldown a 20% CRR roll seems like it would be a pretty substantial DPS increase if the boost is big enough.

Fist of War does not have a cooldown. Cooldowns fundamentally apply to skills - if Fist of War had a cooldown, that would apply to the supported skills and prevent them being used.

Fist of War has a set limit on how frequently it's effect can be applied to an attack. This works the same way as the limit on Rage Support. There are no modifiers currently that can affect this limit.

It also does not reset on kill.

You know there is a word to describe this exact behavior, Mark.

And that word is not cooldown, because a the term cooldown is strictly definied in PoE and always, consistently refers to a timer that prevents a skill being used. This fundamentally does not have that behaviour, so should not use the same term.
