Induction time reduction do anything for Guardian?

[Hypatius]

I am fairly new to guardian class and Lotro but am quite impressed with the game. It is possibly the best MMO I've come across (for my playing style) after long string of MMOs.

Now, my question is does the gear bonus of "induction time reduced by 9% for all skills" help Guardians in a meaningful way? I can see that "Quickness" trait "decreases your attack duration by 5%" can be helpful in applying your skills quickly assuming it translates to faster taunts and skilled attacks. However, I have not seen induction timer (except when you start drawing a bow to pull for example) while in the thick of tanking. Guardian skills do not seem to employee the "induction time" for the most part. So would that bonus go to waste for Guardians?

Any helpful info is appreciated.

You're correct on that we don't use inductions besides Let Fly. It's a waste.

The induction time reduction stat on bows only affects Let Fly and travel skills (not maps, only the skills such as the racial travel trait, returning to your house/kin house, or the reputation earned travel skills.)

Not a huge deal since those travel skills can only be used out of combat but should still be mentioned.

Didn't know/realize it had any effect on those, good to know, but imo, it's still pretty useless.

IIRC, It use to affect the horse-summoning induction.

It also reduces the time to make an Acorn whistle from 4 sec to 3.4 sec. Totally worth it
