Wow. Ability costs go up with gear now.

This so far has been the greatest and most productive week I have ever seen in this game.

They revealed so much stuff and got rid of so many problems that I still can't even process all the changes.

You're not kidding. I know this comes with the next DLC but GU25 has so much in it that is directly linked to community feedback.

Ah ... you're talking about *good* DPS ... those who use rotations that alternate between weapon combos and powers and use the ancient art of 'clipping'.

There are also DPSs who spam one power over and over again and shout for more power when their blue bars run dry and have no idea what clipping is.

As with most everything in life ... all it takes are a few bad seeds to ruin it for the rest of us.

So "ability cost" = "the cost of power to cast whatever ability". Right?

seriously.
so glad the "wait" was finally worth.
the devs must be burning up with awesomeness.

one thing about stats i wanted to add/ask:
so with all these new innates... does that mean dual speccing will pretty much be a thing of the past?
i'm just trying to comprehend if this means i will have to start respecing for troll to dps or hybrid pvp specs with 140+ SP, which i currently do not have to do.

Thats pretty much it.

Vit for Controllers, Power for everyone else, and Power Costs for everyone are all going to scale with each other from now on.

Alright then. Operation Freakout: Mission Aborted

wow, im sorrta lost on this.
so from what i am gathering-- every player will have individually scaled power costs depending on their gear?
--so, in a raid a troller could be dealing with dpses with varrying self power costs?
CRAzzeness, lol, i have no idea how this will play out, but shoudl be interesting.

Pretty much. I would start begging for SAVED RESPECS or SKiLL POINT LOCKING.

It's been confirmed that power costs for abilities ARE going up... thats why there are now Vit and Resto stats for all roles in T5 gear. Confirmed by Tunso. So sadly... The other issue is, the thought process of most players is more power?... Great more chances to spam stuff... More power out means more abilities used, NOT the Controller FINALLY gets to do something else All we can hope is that the dungeons themselves provided the challenge that REQUIRES more CC. Also remember that though there is only a+51 dom increase, there IS still SP bumps too. So once again, the plot thickens...
