Calculating the cost of Aura + Divine Blessing + Lifetap
Hello, I want to run Wrath + Divine Blessing + Lifetap + Increased Duration but am having trouble figuring out how the game decides the end life cost.
Things I've discovered: The following modifiers change the end cost of the 4L wrath spell: Flat changes to total mana % changes to cost of skills % changes to life cost of skills % changes to mana reservation efficiency The following modifiers do NOT change the end cost of the 4L wrath spell: Flat changes to total life % changes to mana cost of skills ~~~~~~~~~~ That all being said, I decided to come up with a working function that seems to break down however. [Total Mana]*(reservation cost of aura)*(1.3)*3 + [flat divine blessing cost]*(total changes to cost of skills and/or life cost of skills) Here the 1.3*3 multiplier comes from lifetap and increased duration (which will affect wrath due to lifetap gem) So for my character, I have 1244 mana and wrath reserves 35% of my mana and 30% reduced cost of skills (15% reduced cost and 15% reduced life cost) and a lvl 7 divine blessing (135 flat cost added) So: (1244)*0.35*1.3*3 + 135*0.7 = 1793 which is the correct value. However.... when I unspec out of tireless (6% reduced cost) the new formula should be: (1244)*0.35*1.3*3 + 135*0.76 = 1800. Yet my cost is 2177 in game. When I unspec out of the life reduced cost of skills mastery (15%) as WELL as tireless (6%) my new cost should be: (1244)*0.35*1.3*3 + 135*0.91 = 1820. Yet my cost is 2331 in game! It seems that the reduced cost of skills affects the cost more than I estimated. Let's say it affects both portions, the cost originating from the reservation and the cost originating from the flat mana cost from the divine blessing gem. Then: ((1244)*0.35*1.3*3 + 135)*0.7 = 1283.... This is wrong Okay maybe the mana multipliers of increased duration and lifetap affect the flat cost portion as well and the % reduced cost affects everything too, so: (1244*0.35 + 135)*1.3*3*0.7 = 1557. Wrong again. Is there a bug or am I just missing something fundamentally important with the cost calculations? Last bumped on Apr 3, 2022, 7:42:06 AM

Answer:
[[Total Mana]*(1.3)*3 + [flat divine blessing cost]]*(total changes to cost of skills and/or life cost of skills) % reservation does not actually influence the end cost of the wrath spell. I was wrong when I wrote that. |

It depends on total mana, see formula above
