Primal Aegis

Primal Aegis is a skill granted by the Bastion of Elements ascendancy passive in the Elementalist tree on a Witch.

Primal Aegis: Elemental damage from Hits is taken from this Aegis before your Life or energy Shield. The Aegis will be restored to full value if you take no Elemental Damage from Hits for a while. This shield value is based on 100 damage per Allocated Notable Passive Skills.

Does Cooldown recovery rate affect Primal Aegis?

Primal Aegis does not have a cooldown, and I am not aware of any way to give it one that players can currently access. If it did gain a cooldown, then this would modify the cooldown, which would apply when the skill is triggered by taking the node, and prevent it being triggered again until it ran out. Since this would result in having the node allocated without the skill active (if you respecced and reapplied the passive skill fast enough), it's unlikely we'll ever add anything that can apply a cooldown to Primal Aegis.
