Skill Costs Bugged on PTS

Dagoth_Rac

Per the patch Notes:

* Reduced the cost of class stamina abilities by 20% so they are equivalent to weapon abilities.

Here are my costs on PTS versus Live for some class stamina abilities:

Power of the Light = 725 Stamina PTS / 738 Stamina Live
Binding Javelin = 2338 Stamina PTS / 2375 Stamina Live

Those are about 1% reductions, not 20%.

Here are some costs of non-class stamina skills:

Stampede = 1752 Stamina PTS / 1731 Stamina Live
Evil Hunter = 1847 Stamina PTS / 1829 Stamina Live
Bone Shield = 2213 Stamina PTS / 2192 Live

Those costs went up a little, but they are in the same ballpark. So it is not like I forgot to put points in certain passives on PTS and my class stamina skills cannot be compared to live. The class stamina costs have simply not been reduced by 20% as the patch notes stated.

* Momentum: Increased the cost of this ability by approximately 35%.

1300 Live / 1898 PTS = 598 cost difference / 1300 old cost = approximately 46% cost increase. Cost has been increased by quite a bit more than patch notes stated.

It looks like you are comparing ability costs after your sources of cost reduction are applied in both cases.

You have to take into account that every ability has a portion of the base cost that is 'unreducable', as in no cost reduction applies to [x] amount of the base cost, period. The unreducable amounts of these abilities may have been changed. But at any rate, what you need to be comparing is the changes in the base cost from live to pts.

You should also consider that the cost of abilities increase with your VR I think....either way this doesn't sound right.

Maybe they only meant NB Stamina class abilities and forgot about everyone else?

Binding Javelin base cost @ VR14:
Live = 3591
PTS = 3514

That is much, much less than 20%.

I don't know what you're complaining about, the zenimath looks right to me...
