Impresence Flammability 100% Reduced Mana Reservation is BUGGED.
|
it works if you have nothing else going, but when equipping Essence Worm ring, the Flammablity Blasphemy setup will reserve 14% of your mana.
This makes no sense. Essence Worm states "40% increased Mana reserved." Sure! No problem! Except it shouldn't matter AT ALL compared to Flammability because Impresence SHOULD give a 100% Reduced mana reduction. As in, Flammability should reserve ZERO mana. Zero increased by 40$ is still Zero. Below are the appropriate items linked, and screenshots proving this. Sorry if this is a duplicate report, but couldn't find it if there's another. Here is the character with just Impresence equipped and Flammability running. reserves no mana, as it should.  Once Essence Worm is equipped, Flammability reserves 14% mana. WRONG. BUGGED. PLZ FIX.  For posterity, here is both flammability and Anger running. Essence Worm correctly activates Anger for free. Flammability is still ILLEGALLY reserving mana. Arrest it!

It says "100% Reduced Flammability Mana Reservation"
It doesn't say "Flammability reserve no mana". Reducing applies AFTER all increases. |

" Almost. Increased and Reduced modifiers are additive. :) Same reason Devoto's Devotion just doesn't have a downside at all - 10% Reduced Damage is nothing. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Dec 24, 2017, 1:27:48 PM

Just found this thread after wondering about this same issue, but Conductivity instead of Flammability and 2x Essence Worms instead of 1. I would really like some confirmation that this is actually intended. I know the wording in PoE can be confusing and most of the time once you think through it it makes sense, but this just doesn't. 100% of the reservation should equal 0% reserved.

" It makes perfect sense, really. Increased and Reduced are always additive; you have -100 and +80, for a sum total of -20. The wording is entirely consistent and unambiguous there. |
|
" Damn, well I guess when it is spelled (or mathed) out that way it makes sense. It's just when you see "100% reduced (curse) mana reservation" it seems like at the end it should equal 0% reserved. If it was "100% less" instead of "100% reduced" it would of worked out my way, huh? |
|
" Yep! More and Less are multiplicative, and times-zero is pretty definitive :) |

Essence worm also shows you that it isn't going to be always 0.
If it was intended that way, it would have been worded like essence worm i think (Vulnerability reserves no mana.) since that mechanic exists already. ~Myth |
