Reflective Scales

Reflective Scales cost:3591
Light armour reduce:21%
Archmage 8%
Jewelry 3*200=600
Syrabane proc (yeah it procs on reflect)=750 each projectile
Breton 3%
Champion Passive:25% reduce
3591-600-57%=1286 magicka

So every time DK reflect Projectile:1286-750=536 cost per use=Permanent Wings

P.S.Since i don't like skill nerfs maybe remove proc on Syrabane from Reflect skills?

    It's pretty much down to the Champ passive which people won't achieve for a while, plenty of time for ZOS to nerf it.

    (A lot of Champ stuff needs nerfing IMO: it might not be reached for a long time, but if you nerf it AFTER people have reached it there will be tears abound. Do it before people have a reason to whine ZOS.)

    Did you calculate it with the 12.3% decrease on percentual reduction?

    Scales are still nerfed though - every time one has to cast wings, that's something else that one isn't casting, like green dragon blood or talons or whatever...

    So you want this changed for everyone just because some player might be able to keep scales up for a while using an extremely specific setup? No.

    Umm.. no.. Permanent Flappy Wings (every four projectile at 1 projectile/ second) = No DPS and no blocking = dead DK.

    Syrabane returns magicka on reflect?

    Or is this thread a few months old.

    Someone inform me. I thought it returned magicka for blocked spells.

    You can get Syrabane in VR12. The rings are hard to come by though.

    I have a full set of v12 syrabane but I remember they changed it to magicka return for blocked spells a few months ago.

    Don't need Syrabane for permanent wings, you can do it right now in 1.5 and 1.6 if you just have enough recovery, also, reflect was nerfed, so... Why make this thread? :confused:

    The magicka return on reflect (if still active) is a huge thing. It's a magicka generation bug that needs to be fixed.

    Syrabane is a 2-ring, 3 armor set that allows for plenty of flexibility in builds and has decent stats for a magicka build. No need for archmage or massive champ points to turn this into something that makes wings a free cast, because 4 reflects = 3k magicka return.

    If you don't see how powerful reflecting 4 attacks with 1 action (and no mana cost) is, you're blinded by DK privilege, and you should get back to calling for nerfs to sorcs.

    Is it confirmed that Syrabane's gain magicka when blocking a spell actually procs on a spell reflect? That kind of makes no sense.

    Your actual cost for wings in this scenario is 1727 not 1286. Champion max is 15.8% not 25% and it is multiplicative not additive. All cost reduction passives and gear is reduced by 12.3%. 3 magicka legendary enchants provide 623 cost reduction not 600.

    The formula is complicated but 1727 is your cost.
