:Writing just "cooldown" might be confusing if, for instance, an attack has a series of attacks that have more attacks, like the Doomship's bomb delay and the drop bombs per interval (those probably are "drop delay" and "bomb interval" for those two), but stuff like Turbo has 0.034s attack cooldown, so maybe there's a case where we must distinguish the attack cooldown vs the ability cooldown in these cases.

::It's not in the guidelines because I thought it was self-evident that we should use different terms for attack cooldown and ability cooldown.

:::As for other time-based intervals, I've just kind of used "rate" without really thinking about it (like "DoT tick rate"), but maybe "interval" works better for things like that, pierce/rehit refresh, burst, and other small delays between things. It's annoying because NK's terminology is really inconsistent. [[User:Polavux|Polavux]] ([[User talk:Polavux|talk]]) 12:18, 24 July 2026 (UTC) | |||
:::Some balance changes we've listed before still have "cooldown" for abilities instead of "ability cooldown" X-OR "attack cooldown"; these probably need to be changed as so. [[User:Qwertyxp2000|Qwertyxp2000]] ([[User talk:Qwertyxp2000|talk]]) 12:20, 24 July 2026 (UTC) | |||
