(PSN)daveoncode Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Why by combining fleeting expertise (+60%) + streamline (+30%) I get only 175% in power efficiency instead of 190% (100% + 60% + 30%)?? Is it a desired behavior? Why? Is it the only attribute with an hidden cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aligatorno Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Because 175% is the hard cap on cost upon cast. It would be silly to have ultimates cost only 10 energy. Channeled abilities however take advantage of the 190% efficiency by allowing negative duration builds. Duration can also affect channeled abilities cost so vice versa you can stack lots of duration and lower efficiency and still keep low drain.

Wiz3rd Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Yes, it's capped on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnarlsDarkley Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 as stated: hard cap 175% for initial costs. channeled abilities like WoF will cost less with 190% while channeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
