[Provocation] what is cooldown for provocation and does...

[Bob_the_fart_guy]

maybe i missed it, i guess there are just to many threads to sift through to find the answer, i tried, and i just couldn't find it. i couldn't find the answer on UO guide, or i stratics.
1st question: what is cooldown for provocation?
2nd question: does having high dexterity affect the cooldown timer?

NOTE: i do not have any bard masteries, i pre-date when that was a thing. so i don't really know anything of it. also, i'm running a mixed bag template, not a full-blown bard. so, as a bard, i only have musicship and provo.

1. 10 or 11 seconds, don't remember for sure but I want to say 11s.
2. Dex has not effect on the wait between using the skills

When I'm training chars, I use a delay of 8.5 seconds between tries.

#1 if you’re not running a mastery, you’ll want to use the provocation mastery. It has 2 of the most powerful mastery spells in the game. The barding masteries are the only “free“ masteries. just do a quick quest which gives you the mastery book too. You only need 90 real music and Provo skill, though I’d recommend 120 real skill, as the mastery spells benefits scale with real skill.

the normal barding cooldown is 8 seconds.
you reduce this to 7 seconds if any barding mastery is selected.
you reduce this to 6 seconds for provo if the Provo mastery is selected.

the 2 seconds saved is also a huge benefit.
