I believe it goes up 33% after your enchants and passives are applied. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain I've seen my ult jump that much. Since I have CP in reduced cost, it would have jumped by less if it accounted for that.

Meaning, wherever your numbers are now, it will work off that.

It seems like it increases dodge roll and ultimates (expected) but I still don't know about block. And Are you sure on the 33% increase on the original cost? It seems counterintuitive

IMHO even with reduction from the original 50% increase down to 33% it's still too much for current end game content (namely WGT, ICP and MoL).

The armor of mobs are very thick and with the brutal nerf to the Nirnhoned trait, kind of forcing most of us to use Sharpened or Precise (like for those who really commits to farm ICP for Scathing Mage), 33% eats resources too quickly, especially for magicka Sorcerers and DKs that, apparently, can't enjoy the benefits of Arcane Well CP passive because we usually attack from too far from the big mobs.

And, speaking personally, as I use Orzorga's Red Frothgar instead of a Max Health/Max Magicka food to favor regen, and weaving not very often because animation prioritization is slowing the gameplay badly, I just can't keep Overkill up all the time or at least as much as I'd like.

In MoL, meh, even worse to keep the effect up.

DoT effects check your character stat sheet for each tick(part of the lag issue imho), this means buffing after applying the DoT will still buff DoT damage that occurs after you buff. Most dots are 8-10seconds, Kena buff is 6s, meaning you can DoT target proc Kena, and heavy attack weave and refresh. Not as effective for single target, however meteor+caltrops+arrow barrage(or whatever placeable aoe skill you use) then proc kena, Kena will buff the majority of the time they are up outside of caltrops and you will see the numbers shoot up.

I've been using for various dungeons and for nMoL and while I can sometimes feel the drain in magicka it doesn't really last long as most mobs melt away

What class?

Wow this set is complete hinderance for a meager improvement, if it affects dodge and everything else it seems poorly designed.

I expected magicka cost only when it came to damage or healing abilities.

After the latest update when they increased cost of all abilities (despite patchnotes saying otherwise), kena isn't really an option for me.
