Does elreon jewelry come before or after %reduced mana cost?
Trying to calculate my eventual mana consumption.
Example: 30 base mana cost with support modifiers, one -8 elreon ring, 25% passive mana cost reduction. If elreon jewelry is counted first: 30 - 8 = 22 * .75 = 16.5 %Reduction first: 30 * .75 = 22.5 - 8 = 14.5 I figure vipermagi or raics would know this immediately, Thanks! IGN: Smegmazoid

Well. It is always reduction later. The game is designed this way to prevent abuse.
Let me give you a scenario. If it is reduction first, I can have (20-20)*300%*200%=0 NO MANA COST AT ALL OH YEAH! |

Right, it's after multipliers and reductions to mana cost.
Which might be a bit counter-intuitive, considering flat values usually go before everything else, even old arctic armor applied before 'reduced damage taken'. Of course, I consider it justified in light of possible exploits with low cost skills. However, I'd prefer lower values (something like -1 to -2) and having it apply before percentages, strictly as a mechanics purist, of course. Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

Ah I see, I had been counting the mana multipliers from support gems separately, but I see what you mean now. Thanks.
