Bolt Escape nerf is broken

The 50% cost increase for bolt escape is broken. What dissapoints me the most on this is that I REPORTED IT ON THE PTS. via /bug and in this post http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/107596/bolt-escape-streak#latest

They ignored the bug and the applied a nerf, a broken nerf, to the Live servers. I have never been as disapointed as I am right now in ZOS. Really, you dont care about having things fixed or working you just post nerf's to "quiet the masses".

I have removed jewerly to test and the "additional" cost is still there. I have yet to make the skill only charge 50% it is always a higher amount.

My issue here is NOT that it was nerf'd that it was nerf'd and applied BROKEN. If it was to cost more than say so. DONT APPLY BROKEN NERF'S.

The Details on my testing.

My Streak costs 228 magicka. 50% is 114. 228+114=342. Actual Cost is 414. According to the tooltip during the 4sec and by watching my actual magicka use.

this is exactly the bug i reported on PTS. I reported it the first day I was able to get on PTS exactly 1 day after it came up for Public use.

    If the 50% is calculated from unmodified cost of BE, the taking off jewelry isn't enough, as light armor reduces spell cost by a significant amount, as do passive skills.

    Was just writing this up. But I would check passives and armor as well for any reductions to spell cost.

    Does BE nerf helps you acting your Templar better? Not.

    The spell cost is probably correct. Seems it does not recalculate the 50% cost values for any spell cost reduction %, be it from jewelry or from spell cost reduction skills/passives.

    Seems like the OP took off his jewelry without taking the latter into account.

    Further testing warranted.
