Sooooo I built my Warpath VK, currently one with Echoes because of the sustainability.
Now…there is this node that increases area and damage but also the Mana cost to make in unsustainable. This is what Put me off (I know there are builds to utilize it but it’s wonky on the Timing imho).
So, if I could get Channel cost reduction to 100%, what would be the result? Whats the Formula/Interaction with that node? Anyone tried yet?
There is no way to get that much reduced channel cost.
And that is very intentional.
I already did build around Warrior’s Fury in the past with 600+ Maximum Mana and a T7 reduced channel cost (-45%).
It is a fun build for sure and you are able to make Warpath cover more than the screen is very satisfying.
Theoretically if you would be able to get 100% reduced channel cost, this node would be beyond broken.
Warpath gets more flat base cost every second with this node.
Baseline Warpath cost 10 Mana/Sec.
With 5/5 Points in Warrior’s Fury would cause Warpath to cost:
10/s
30/s
50/s
70/s
90/s
110/s
…
The %reduced channel cost would reduce these amount.
Since %reduced channel cost is different than mana efficiency with 30% reduced channel cost(T5) the above values would turn into:
7/s
21/s
35/s
49/s
63/s
77/s
Thanks for the Info. Yeah I agree on the “broken” part - although there’s enough synergy in the Game to make some pretty strong stuff so I didn’t root it out per se
Considering your post I suppose there’s only one Item that can get the “reduced Channeling cost” so that explains it. I guess I stick to my Echoing Warpath for now which is preeeeeety whack too and slays everything anyways (still with mediocre Gear so there’s still alot to be optimized).
