Disintegrate mana cost bug

[Morkatog]

Hi guys,

I am trying a disintegrate build with laser focus and for some strange reason, it still costs 5 mana to channel. I tried removing all my equipment and painstakingly checked all my skills but can’t find a reason why it costs mana. Here are some screenshots to show the problem:

As it costs exactly 5 mana to channel, I suspect it has something to do with Arcane Ascendance, but that’s switched off.

Yeah, I’m seeing an initial cost of 2 mana which is then recouped after a fraction of a second channelling. Arcane Ascendance should increase that by +5 for the initial cast.

That’s under normal circumstances though if I’m not mistaken?

What I’m showing in the top screenshot is my char standing still not casting anything without Arcane Ascendance on and with Laser Focus, and disintegrate still costs mana. There’s nowhere on my character that I can account for that.

Thanks! We have this marked internally but we might also discuss Disintegrate soon; if there’s a quick fix we’ll hit it otherwise we might address it in a more holistic look at the skill.

Oooo, this sounds interesting.

Thanks for looking into it I’m curious to see what you have planned for Disintegrate. Either way, keep up the good work!
