Abilities Should Show Their Actual Energy Use On Cast

[Vallerian]

When you cast an ability and that big white number saying "25 energy" blah blah shows up, that number doesn't accurately reflect energy efficiency.

Now strangely enough, Blind Rage will make that number go up, but Fleeting Expertise and Streamline won't make that number go down

[Meice]

+1. I don't even know how much ALL of the ability cost now.

You should be told these things within the modding interface too, just to have more information

it's based on the amount of affinity u get

The number doesn't mean the amount of energy you use, it means the amount of affinity you get for using that ability. That's why you can also see it appear on top of you Sentinel when it uses an ability, because the Sentinel gets exp for using abilities as well.

[Rakshal]

Yes, yes it should.

[AdunSaveMe]

I'm pretty sure the number that pops up is affinity gained from using the ability.

 

But yeah, an actual visible energy cost would be nice. No need to count the cost yourself, you know?

[Verryn]

It's affinity, it's the same display icon for when you kill enemies and get affinity for those.

Info simillar to what can be seen on warframebuilder.com would be nice.

Cost, duration, damage, range aso.

The number is not the amount of energy you used, it's the amount of affinity you got for using the ability.

Still silly how third party sources provide more information than the game to you. i.e Codex vs Wiki, wiki is faster, much faster :/

People will try to improve upon what they like. If companies takes advantage of it or not is up to them, but it's free labour so why not? The people obviosly like it.

It's not that hard to look at your energy (if it's full) , use the skill and see how much your skill cost.

But still good idea.

"-x energy" on my screen

Yeah but when trying to find the ideal build for you it is really annoying going in and out of games just to (maybe) use one ability, this tied in with underranking mods would be very useful and encourage people to use more complex builds (those who don't go for powerhouses and use 5 formas a day)
