Bug: Lord of the Wilds

I think that this passive is bugged. I didn't notice any changes in the patch notes as well as looking at how it worked in the video of the endgame builds. I'm running a Malice Sceptre, but the actual buff itself is not being applied when I'm in Wolf Form which would mean I'm also not getting the Modifiers on it applied to my minions either.

I just allocated it and im not getting the spirit from my sceptre either.

Its definitely just not working right now.

Edit: i just specced out of it and back into it, i got discipline + spirit from it now

Odd bug. try speccing out and back into it.

I realized that in town youre in human form, its only in effect while shapeshifted.. dummy moment

Im noticing that its making herald of ice cost 60 spirit instead of 45 spirit, unless my math is incorrect?

The node says 50% less reservation efficiency, so it should only make herald of ice cost 50% more spirit, 15, but instead its taking 60 spirit.
I have noticed that this has reduced my spirit to 31, when the staff gives 121 spirit. Further more it has also made herald of ice cost 60, if my math is right this should make herald of ice cost 45 (30×1.5=45) and I should be getting 60 ish spirit (120/2=60).

Edit: after rereading the skill the 6th time this ability gives a flat 50% reduction in spirit making my total spirit 91 from 182, but the spirit cost of ice Herald is still off regardless of how I look at it.

It looks bugged still the tool tip is wrong and makes this a horrible ability.

What it does is reduce your spirit by 50%, increases non-minion costs by 50%, and lets you equip a sceptre ... that's a horrible trade off.

What's wrong?

edited simply to clarify that Lord of the Wilds is a multiplier as it actually states "less efficiency" not reduced as I was suggesting.

For the effect that reduces the efficiency of non-minion reservations, a 50% less efficiency modifier is expected to double the cost of your affected spirit reservations. Lord of the Wilds is a less multiplier, which will also affect other efficiency modifiers, but in the simple case where only this modifier applies it will be the same as a 50% reduction.

See the wiki equation for efficiency for how it is calculated.

It may not be immediately intuitive that a 50% reduction (or here 50% less where 50% of 100% efficiency is also 50% total efficiency) would double the cost, but it is consistent with how an increase in efficiency affects the amount reserved.

A 50% reduced efficiency effectively divides your base value by 0.5 (doubling it)
A 100% increased efficiency divides this base value by 2.0 (reducing it to half)



For example (not trying to be pedantic, but it may help visualize it),
Taking Herald of Ice as an example, with a base reservation of 30 spirit:

Having 50% total efficiency will cost twice as much as having the baseline 100% total efficiency.
Likewise, it will cost 4 times as much as having 200% total efficiency (i.e. 100% increased efficiency).

Having a 200% total efficiency (100% increased), the skill will cost only 15 spirit.

Having a 50% total efficiency (50% reduced), the skill will instead cost four times as much as it did at 200%, or 60 spirit. The calculation divides the base reservation by the efficiency, or in this case 30 / 0.5 = 60.

There is no bug here.
