Skill cost

Why all abilities cost a lot more? According to patch notes skills should cost the same amount of resources. Lava Whip went from 1400 to 1900 after the last patch.
Is this a bug or something, ZOS?

    Did you re apply your champion points? They were reset with the patch

    Yes. Gear is the same, everything is repaired.

    DB caused a cost increase of about 8% to magicka-based skills, not sure about stamina. Something about the removal of vet ranks and how cost is calculated with the new CP ranks.

    Yay, vet rank removal, right? /s

    Yeah, this is total BS.

    The devs stated that because of how the system calculated VR to CP that some skills would see a slight increase in cost, they went on to state that using cost reduction enchantments help offset this increase; don't have the link but it was discussed on PTS.

    Slightly, but 400 magicka isn't slightly. I can't even use Kena anymore. One cycle of rotation costs 17k magicka without Kena proc.
    This isn't a rant or something. I just don't understand their reasoning.

    Yeah, i had to drop one Kena piece and get a magicka regen enchantment. I also have to harass my healer to use ele drain or mystic orbs now, i used to be a far more laid back altmer sor before this patch :'(
    Skye Cloude - Sorc DPS, Master Crafter. Main, the bestest
    Lae Lenne - Templar Healer Trial grade.
    Dromede - Stamina Nightblade, she's a newb and doesn't know what she's doing
    V'oghatta - Stamplar pretending to be a tank
    Ulville Thonvella - aspiring Fire Mage, be careful around her fire sticks!
    Dromedaris - lost and not found. Named after a shoe, what else can you expect from her? A proper tank in her wildest dreams
    Swims-Naked - too pretty to grind, too silly to quest.
    Sun Flair - Dunmer Templar that can't spell for life. To bad she's too broke to afford a name change... Well, at least she's pretty...

    Even drain isn't helping anymore. I guess it's time to drop magdk and reroll. Every other ex-magdk in my guild already rerolled.

    Perhaps it is more easy to use frequently the Mag Restore of Staf Heavy Attacks
    "I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    Sadly, I only have a bunch of screens where I'm stuck in textures.
    But it's not only me, who noticed cost increase.
