Bug Reports (Path of Exile 1) - Cast on Death + Portal Not Working - Forum

Hello! I have a 2L in a wand of Cast on Death Support with a Portal gem. Despite this, no matter where I die, the portal never spawns. It doesn't work in other pieces of my gear either. I am playing a totem Hierophant if that for any reason has something to do with it -- however I cannot see this being the case because even if I cannot do damage with a spell due to the Ancestral Bond notable, I am still able to cast it. Additionally, I can cast portal if I remove the Cast on Death Support gem. In the manifesto and various patch notes, I did not see mention of this interaction being changed or removed. Could someone please assist me with this? Thank you. :) Last bumped on Aug 8, 2021, 4:10:11 PM This thread has been automatically archived. Replies are disabled.

Your weapons increase the cost of Portal by 40 each, resulting in Portal requiring 80 mana to trigger when you die.	Posted by Jatin_GGG on Jul 28, 2021, 9:56:46 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post
Thank you for your response! Given that I am using Mind Over Matter on my character (both the notable and ascendancy node), I actually am dying with 0 mana and thus cannot cast the Portal skill. My apologies for misconstruing this as an in-game bug, and I appreciate your time and response!	Posted by Lunar2961#4746 on Jul 28, 2021, 10:00:05 PM Quote this Post

A 0% multiplier removes the cost completely. Last edited by SirGuySW#7930 on Jul 30, 2021, 8:30:18 AM	Posted by SirGuySW#7930 on Jul 30, 2021, 8:29:09 AM Quote this Post

I read that late and my tired brain skipped over the '+/- to Total Mana Cost' part. :\| It seems then that 'Does not require paying costs' is even more important in this case as 'no cost ever' surely takes priority over '+# to final cost'? (Actual cost of skill) + (+/- to Total cost of skill) = # + 'no cost ever' = 0: 0 + 80 = 80 + 'no cost ever' = 0?
