cooldown recovery rate incorrect?

So I have a convocation that is 20% quality which is 20% increased cooldown recovery rate of the base 3 seconds. I have it also linked with second wind support which is 29% increased cooldown recovery rate. Shouldn't this be
(3 x 0.49%) = 1.47 and then (3 - 1.47) = 1.53 seconds on recovery rate. Yet in the tooltip it says 2.03 seconds recovery rate? Am I doing the math wrong?

You get the math wrong.

49% increased CDR doesn't mean that the cooldown timer is cut by 49%. It means that the cooldown recovery progresses 49% faster, so in one second it recovers what would usually take 1,49 second.

Overall, it means that 50% increased CDR will turn 3 seconds into 2, 100% increase into 1,5 s, 200% would turn it into 1 second, and so on...it'll never reduce cooldown to zero.
