Inconsistent ability cost

Asayre

I have found that going into a dungeon from the overworld increases the cost of an ability. This is not a tooltip error as the amount of magicka deducted on cost matches the tooltip. This increases cost persist even when moving back to the overworld from a dungeon. The only way to return to the initial cost is by logging onto a different character and then back to the one in question. The ability cost in overworld is correctly calculated but the higher cost in the dungeon is incorrect.



In the image above, the top portion shows the ability cost in Alik'r Desert. Blockade of Storms cost 2124 Magicka and on cast my magicka pool decreases by that amount. In the bottom potion shows the cost in Normal Wayrest Sewers 1. Blockade of Storms now cost 2151 Magicka and on cast my magicka decreases by 2151. This value of 2151 is incorrect given the amount of cost reduction I have. Moving from Normal Wayrest Sewers to any other location does not alter the ability cost. It remains at 2151.

Reported something like this about a year ago. Back then I was porting between zones and found the cost change randomly between their nominal value and +2%. Sometimes the tooltip matched, sometimes it didn't. Due to this the resource cost analysis functions of combat metrics are quite messy.

Well, i just had a good laugh. Why doesn't such a bug surprise me anymore? (anyway, i'll still going to verify this myself later)
