Issue:
The Fire Shield - Warding mastery says “Grants 5 additional ward generated per second”, however, I don’t get 5 ward per second.
The Fire shield skill lasts 14 seconds (I have Plasma shield so it only lasts 10 seconds). However, when I cast Fire Shield, the Warding mastery seems to only apply once. (Please note I get about 10 mana from other masteries/items for getting ward on mana expendature). I feel like the description of Warding means I should get 5 ward per second for the duration of fire shield. So I should get 5*10 = 50 ward, but I seem to only get about 5. Gif of passive tree is linked
The plasma Shield passive gives 40% increased lightning damage. However, when I don’t have fire shield on, my DPS is about 2K higher than when it’s on which makes very little sense to me. Not sure if it’s a bug or if I’m just not understanding properly
But if I get 5 per second (for 10 seconds), which includes decay, shouldn’t the bar go something like
On cast: 10-15 ward (instantly)
0-1 seconds after cast: decay to probably 13-14
1 second after cast: jump from 13-18
1-2 seconds after cast: decay to 15
exactly 2 seconds after cast: Jump 15-20
… decay to 17
jump 17-22
so on and so forth for 10 seconds.
I feel like I should see jumps of 5 each second, then it slowly decays for 1 second, then jumps again.
That’s how I interpret “5 ward generated per second”
