Ambush cost live vs. pts.

glavius

I just noticed my ambush is 600 stamina cheaper on pts with same gear (on no CP campaign). About 3950 cost on live with 1 medium, and about 3400 cost on pts, again with 1 medium.
This can mean one of 2 things:
1: My character on live is bugged and doesn't gain the 20% reduction from class stamina skils.
2: Ambush in general is bugged on live and doesn't gain the 20% reduction from class stamina skills.

Anyone else that can test their cost on live? (with no cp and max 1-2 medium equipped)

You mean 3950 stamina on live? Because that is more than the skill costs normally without any effects. You sure you didnt have some cost increase poison (or molag kena proc) on you?

Thats my base cost on live. While not being affected by anything.
Weird as ***.

Just watched my last video on youtube, 27 secs in you can see the ambush costing nearly 4k if you watch it on slow motion.

Saw it. You had 23173 stamina and dropped to 19244. The ambush alone cost you only 3365. Which is exactly what should +/- ambush cost with only one piece of medium and no CP.
The rest around 564~ was last 'proc' of stealth cost.

Hmm that is possible.
But look again at 5:17. Again nearly 4k cost for ambush. No sprint involved there.

glavius

And again at 5:35. nearly 4k cost.

Checked old videos, I've had the bug for 4 months+ apparently

Starting to believe the bug either affects everyone or atleast all my toons. Respecced my magicka NB, and lotus fan and ambush had the exact same cost.

Everytime you ambush in those videos for "increased cost" it is always the same figure: ~3929 stamina. It is awfully close to what would be normal ambush cost + one sneak proc but if your tooltip says it is 3929 then I have no idea...

If you have 1 medium piece, 0 light armor piece, are on LIVE server on NO CP the stamina cost of ambush should be ~23% cheaper than lotus fan.
