The formula for Recharge Speed Calculation is basically:
FRS = BRS X (1 + RSP) / (1 + RSB)
FRS = Final Recharge
BRS = Base Recharge Speed
RSP = Recharge Speed Penalty
RSB = Recharge Speed Bonus
By that formula, Biotic Charge (BRS = 10s) and level 2 +25% RSB with a weight +145% RSB and Inferno Armor (+30% RSB) should have a 3.33 FRS.
If Barrier adds a 60% RSP, by the above formula we should have:
10 x (1 + 0.6) / (1 + 0.25 + 1.45 + 0.3) = 10 x 1.6 / 3.00 = 5.33s FRS
However, upon seeing this video:
I realized that the above logic didn't apply.
So I made a few assumptions and modified the formula until the numbers matched the ones I was seeing which lead to the following conclusion:
FRS = BRS X (1 + RSP + IF(RSP>0;BRSP;0)) / (1 + RSB - IF(RSP=0;BRSP;0))
The Barrier Speed Recharge Penalty (BRSP) is not a simple addictive to the equation, it's a conditional that changes the entire formula.
Assuming that the player from the video had a +10% RSB from the Intel Terminal, the above formula should give us:
10 x (1 + 0 + 0) / (1 + 0.25 + 1.45 + 0.3 + 0.1 - 0.6) = 10 x 1 / 2.5 = 4s FRS
I don't know if the same formula applies to Fortification or Defense Matrix or even if it's Single Player Only but I'd like if other people could run more tests on it.
