{{Quote|Modifies the Duration of Warframe Abilities and the Energy cost of toggled Abilities. Hover over each Ability to see how its stats are affected.|In-game Description}} '''{{Stat|Ability Duration}}''' linearly affects the duration of many [[Warframe]] and [[Archwing]] abilities. Increased Ability Duration usually extends the length of time that an ability is active, but there are some unorthodox or otherwise counter-intuitive interactions the stat gives: for example, the maximum amount of charges for {{A|Tesla Nervos}} increases as a factor of added Ability Duration. There are some instances where negative Ability Duration is desirable, usually because it speeds up periodic effects like {{WF|Trinity}}'s {{A|Energy Vampire}} or {{WF|Mesa}}'s {{A|Shooting Gallery}} when augmented with {{M|Muzzle Flash}}. All Warframes and Archwings have a base stat of '''100%''' Ability Duration. :{{MathText|Final Ability Duration {{eql}} Base Ability Duration {{mul}} Ability Duration bonus}} The remaining duration of an ability is displayed on the ability's icon in the bottom right corner as a number with two places. Hence, if the remaining duration of an ability is greater than '''10''' seconds, it displays to the nearest second. If the duration is less than '''10''' seconds, it displays down to the nearest tenth of a second. ==Energy Drain for Channeled Abilities== [[File:DurationEfficiencyTable.png|right|thumb|300px]] There are abilities like {{WF|Gauss}}'s {{A|Mach Rush}} or {{WF|Chroma}}'s {{A|Spectral Scream}} which last for an indefinite amount of time but drain [[energy]] with each passing tick until canceled or if no energy remains. As of {{ver|17.5}}, Ability Duration affects the energy drain for these abilities: if, for example, an ability normally has an energy drain of '''1.0 energy per second''', at '''200%''' Ability Duration that ability would drain a point of energy every 2.0 seconds - resulting in a total of '''0.5 energy per second''' drain. {{MathText|Final Drain Rate {{eql}} Drain Rate {{div}} Ability Duration}} *The '''Drain Rate''' is the amount of energy that gets drained per second. *When energy drain is less than about 10 per second, energy will be drained ''once per tick'', and the time between ticks will depend on the drain rate. For example, with an ability that drains '''2.5 energy per second''', the game will actually consume 1 energy every 0.4 seconds. It is unknown what the minimum time is between ticks (for especially high drain rates). *This mechanism behaves essentially opposite of how [[Ability Efficiency]] affects the cost of abilities. *Without any other mods to compensate for the reduced Duration, a "''High Strength and High Efficiency''" build - achieved by slotting a maxed {{M|Blind Rage}} (+99% Strength, -55% Efficiency), a maxed {{M|Fleeting Expertise}} (+60% Efficiency, -60% Duration), a maxed {{M|Transient Fortitude}} (+55% Strength, -27.5% Duration), and a maxed {{M|Streamline}} (+30% Efficiency) - will have a '''very high''' energy drain. *The resulting Duration penalty is -87.5%, leaving a Duration stat of only 12.5%, which results in a penalty of 800% before calculating efficiency. At 135% efficiency, this results in a final '''520%''' penalty. :{{MathText|Final rate {{eql}} Base rate {{mul}} (100% - 35%) {{div}} 0.125 {{eql}} Base rate {{mul}} 5.2}} *If efficiency mods are not included in the build, then the resulting increase is even greater: a massive '''762%''' (without Streamline), '''1000%''' (without Fleeting Expertise), or '''1240%''' (without either). Because energy drain is ''also'' affected by [[Ability Efficiency]], the chart to the right can be consulted to determine a Warframe ability's real energy drain per second. <ref>[[User blog:Fegazeus/17.5 Duration mods and drain|User blog - 17.5 Duration & Drain]]</ref> *Note that using {{M|Fleeting Expertise}} with {{M|Streamline}} adds up to '''90%''' total [[Ability Efficiency]]. The maximum ''final'' efficiency is '''75%''' - the extra 15% efficiency can be used to compensate for a low Ability Duration. At 90% efficiency, this means that using '''40%''' Ability Duration will still reach the maximum 75% [[Ability Efficiency]]. *Using the above combination alongside {{M|Boreal's Hatred}} or certain [[Arcane Helmet]]s, it is possible to reach 100% or higher efficiency before factoring in Ability Duration. This will result in a '''75%''' final efficiency, regardless of the value of Ability Duration. Similar to [[Ability Strength]], energy drain is calculated when the ability is first used. If something later changes the value of [[Ability Efficiency]] or Ability Duration, it will not affect energy drain unless the ability is re-cast. Exception : A change in Ability Efficiency from {{M|Seismic Bond}} will update the energy drain of the ability without having to re-cast it.<ref>[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNJSZUt3p2c| Data collection on Seismic Bond]]</ref> {{clr}} ==Cooldowns== Most abilities do not have a "cooldown" period, which is a mechanic in many similar games that disallow a player from recasting the same ability too frequently. However, abilities in [[WARFRAME]] can often instead prevent you from recasting while the first instance is still active. Hence, if you have an ability that lasts 5 seconds long, you can only cast it once every five seconds. If you extend its duration to 8 seconds, you will not be able to cast it more frequently than once every eight seconds. This increase in uptime can be undesirable for certain abilities, such as {{A|Silence}}, which can be used as an on-demand stun. If a player casts an ability too frequently in [[Elite Sanctuary Onslaught]], then the game will put an explicit cooldown by disabling abilities from 8-15 seconds, depending on the ability slot (i.e. second, third, or fourth abilities will experience a cooldown timer). ===Abilities With Casting Cooldown=== Abilities with casting cooldown timers: *{{A|Rebuild Shields}} *{{A|Ophidian Bite}} *{{A|Vial Rush}} *{{A|Transmutation Probe}} *{{A|Catalyze}} *{{A|Cathode Grace}} ==Modifiers== Modifiers combine additively to the Ability Duration stat. :{{MathText|Final Ability Duration {{eql}} Ability Duration + Modifier 1 + Modifier 2 + Modifier 3 + ...}} ===Mods=== {{M|Continuity}}, {{M|Primed Continuity}}, {{M|Constitution}}, {{M|Narrow Minded}}, {{M|Augur Message}}, {{M|Nira's Hatred}} and {{M|Efficient Transferral}} can each be equipped to increase Ability Duration. Note that as a [[:Category:Primed Mods|primed mod]], Primed Continuity cannot be equipped simultaneously with Continuity on the same Warframe. {{M|Fleeting Expertise}} and {{M|Transient Fortitude}} both reduce duration of abilities. {{#tag:tabber| Increase = <gallery captionposition="below" hideaddbutton="true" spacing="small" navigation="true" position="center" bordersize="none" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" captionalign="center"> ContinuityMod.png|link=Continuity|{{M|Continuity}} PrimedContinuityMod.png|link=Primed Continuity|{{M|Primed Continuity}} ConstitutionMod.png|link=Constitution|{{M|Constitution}} NarrowMindedMod.png|link=Narrow Minded|{{M|Narrow Minded}} AugurMessageMod.png|link=Augur Message|{{M|Augur Message}} Nira'sHatredMod.png|link=Nira's Hatred|{{M|Nira's Hatred}} RisInvocationMod.png|link=Ris Invocation|{{M|Ris Invocation}} EfficientTransferralMod.png|link=Efficient Transferral|{{M|Efficient Transferral}} </gallery> {{!}}-{{!}} Decrease = <gallery captionposition="below" hideaddbutton="true" spacing="small" navigation="true" position="center" bordersize="none" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" captionalign="center"> FleetingExpertiseMod.png|link=Fleeting Expertise|{{M|Fleeting Expertise}} TransientFortitudeMod.png|link=Transient Fortitude|{{M|Transient Fortitude}} </gallery> }} ===Arcanes=== {{Arcane|Molt Efficiency}} is currently the only [[Arcane Enhancement]] that affects Ability Duration. <gallery captionposition="below" hideaddbutton="true" spacing="small" navigation="true" position="center" bordersize="none" bordercolor="#FFFFFF" captionalign="center" perrow="3"> MoltEfficiency.png|link=Molt Efficiency|{{Arcane|Molt Efficiency}}<br />(+36% while Shields are active) </gallery> ===Arcane Helmets=== [[Arcane Helmet]]s can also reduce (or increase) Ability Durations.
