Reduced Mana Reserved Nodes

How do they work, I am making a special build and am looking to use as many auras as posible
i have access to 4 nodes that each give 5% reduced mana reserved.

That is 20% reduced mana reserved

A aura takes 40% mana reserve to keep active

Does that mean the aura with these 4 nodes active will only be 20% mana reserved to keep active

or will it be 20% of 40% = 8%
and the aura will cost me 32% mana reserve to keep active.

As you know this will make a huge difference, so if anyone DEFINITELY knows how it works, please let me know, I dont want someone who hasn't tried to guess just from how its written as i need a solid answer


thanks, vil

It would be 32%.

This is your answer.
But combined with a reduced mana gem (with quality, even better), and/or an Alpha's Howl and/or a Prism Guardian, you could have some fun.

Important to note is that this gem will also reduce the amount of mana reserved by auras.

Well, i usually run BM characters, so I use reduced mana on "flat-mana-amount" auras, like wrath, grace or anger.
I was sure reduced mana also worked on %mana auras, but if you say otherwise, then I'm prolly wrong.

Anyway, you're actually wrong about the rest. My comment is still valid, if the guy is looking to run several auras, he'll be interested in reduced mana.

Yes, my answer was still right, deal with it.

2 options the wiki sucks and is wrong
or iam wrong

considering reduced mana never had any effect on aura reservation in closed beta it seems i missed the changes

so i apologize

weird it was common knowledge in closed that this doesnt work

Note that unlike the gem's mana cost multiplier, the quality bonus does not apply to mana reservation, such as found on Auras. The quality effect is the same as "Reduced Mana Cost" passives in the skill tree.

Now you see, that's why it's important to never be arrogant when giving advice. It can turn out that you're wrong. Be humbler damn you!
Just busting balls :P

As for the quality, the 10% you can get from a 20% quality reduced mana gem will not effect auras. In other words it will only effect the mana cost of skills.

so i was right in the first place ?

% reduced mana gem has no effect on reserved mana

and the wiki link was some useless attempt to confuse

he quoted a text from a patch which introduced ice shot as a new skill *rolleyes* ages ago
