That's how it works with TWO charges. If you only have one... it's just a cooldown. Your CD progress won't be preserved, because your ONE charge will be refilled instantly. Five seconds left? Nope, it's no seconds left now. That's all that happens, just like live.
All normal CD abilities are equivalent to single-charge cooldowns. Once the ONE charge is filled back up... it's not filling up anymore.

It's not a nerf, it's just embarrassing. I'm hoping this doesn't go live, because it will make me endlessly mad to see "1 Charges" on an ability every BM hunter has been wanting 2 charges of since pre-patch.
But I'm glad two hunters on my server will receive the random-drop bugfix.
Pretty sure dire beast procs would ad additional charges even without the legendary. Just cause tool tip says 1 charge doesn't mean it's capped at 1 charge, whole idea of a charge is so that they stack. Legendary would just give you a passive extra charge at all times. This would only make sense and if it's true would be a huge buff to BM.

Unless I'm mistaken, BM gets a buff in Dire Beast actually. Instead of a cooldown, it now has 1 charge. Big deal eh? Nope. If you get a proc before you actually get to launch the Dire Beast, currently it is essentially wasted. With charges you will be able to launch two beasts one after the other.
You are mystaken.
The tooltip change is due to a new legendary that gives 1 extra stack. Without the legendary, Direbeast/Frenzy works exactly the same as it is on live right now.

How are you pretty sure? Did you test it on PTR? If you did, you wouldnt be so sure.
Well if thats the case rip BM. That makes legendary shoulders a requirement to play the spec. If something this dumb actually goes live I will almost certainly quit playing. Being it has now been 3 months and I only have the bracer which is 3rd bis. At this rate getting the shoulders might take 2 years after 7.2 releases.
Thats what bugs me the most. I hate getting a reset proc when I have like 2 seconds left. If they made it so we get a free cast without messing with the CD then BM would be a whole lot better. I still like the way the spec works but that one change would make it perfect for me.
When you say bottom tier dps, you mean middle of the pack?
Means that all 3 specs are bottom dps for single target. We're getting outscaled by all other classes.
Having 2 dire beasts is a great quality of life change with the potential to increase dps by a little or a lot depending on how you line up with titans thunder.

This spec doesn't just needs buffs or nerfs. It needs to be redesigned from scratch. Will 7.1.5 address this? I doubt it.
That is only talents tuning and WIP. Nearly everyone got nerfed. Enhancers lose 5% crit and 2 out of 4 cookie cutter dps talents got nerfed.
So what?
Your feedback should be about mechanics and how to balance talents, not nerfs or buffs.
Oh and btw, nearly evrryone got nerfed up to now.

I believe it simplyneeds a buff. If you dont like the gameplay youshould switch.
But the ptr so far isnt about numbers tuning. There is going to be numbers tuning at the end for sure.
It's extremely depressing that they recognize the second dire beast charge is desirable enough to put it on a legendary but continue to let the rest of us bask in the frustration of those terribly timed procs.
I like BM but decisions like this are really hard to defend. And it feels like a complete waste of time offering feedback when it simply results in things like a nerfed Posthaste and Trailblazer.
