For instance, in patch 2.1.2, we put a cooldown on Smoke Screen to mitigate permanent immunity builds for the Demon Hunter so that you couldn’t chain this skill back-to-back. While it’s our goal for CDR to be a desirable affix, and while we’re okay with players greatly reducing the cooldown of their immunity skills, we also want to avoid a scenario where permanent immunity is possible. Frankly, we think that’s awesome, since we love it that players can customize their characters in different ways. Since then, we’ve seen many players who have been able to skirt the edges of permanent immunity using this affix.

The concept of permanent immunity has actually been on our radar since we introduced Cooldown Reduction in Reaper of Souls.

It’s interesting that you mention permanent Serenity uptime. I see perma-serenity w/ Zodiac pushing Team ICE up a few notches. Needs more testing, but it turned out to not be as good as I had hoped unless you want to limit yourself to a single cooldown.

It gets even worse when you add a 3rd cooldown like Blinding Flash. Problem is once you add more than 1 cooldown, many of your Obsidian procs are going into lowering Epiphany's cooldown needlessly, as the ring picks a cooldown at Random to reduce by one second, so with a bad string of luck, perma-serenity isn't possible unless you're already at Max CDR (ie - if all your ring procs lower Epiphany's cd instead of Serenity). Using just Epiphany, it took 28% cdr to get perma-epiphany Using just Ascension, it took 50% cdr to get perma-serenity NUMLOCKing Mantra w/ Chant of Resonance yielded the following results. It reduces a random cooldown by 1 second everytime you spend resource. Since the current In-Geom sword seems bugged atm, I did some testing with the ORotZ.
