Usage & Description
While the Cracked Sash does have a fast recharge, it has very low capacity. At equal level, it is usually equal to about 1/3 or 1/2 of the player's health. A good quality Anshin Alacritous Ambush ("Super Fast Recharge!") shield will give similar recharge rates with a larger capacity. The Cracked Sash can be effective for Hunters who favor venturing out of cover only long enough to line up a Critical Hit with a sniper rifle from long range. Players that prefer using guerilla tactics to take advantage of its phenomenal recharge rates, can make good use of the Cracked Sash.

Trivia

 * Its name (and that of the boss) is a reference to a Diablo II item and unique enemy, respectively.

Mechanics

This increase though should be contrasted by the mandatory presence of and, which give no bonuses, and its material , which doesn't give any bonuses either. Please see Stat modifiers for an explanation on how to interpret all of these modifiers.
