Help me understand Energize (from Energy Blast)

So Energize gives you a discount on endurance while it is active.

 

Is this a true discount on the base cost?  I.e., not just adding percentage to your End Reduction slotting and potentially being limited by ED diminishing returns?  Or am I making no sense?

 

Currently level 23 Eng/Eng Blaster.  Energize is slotted with 2 Healing/Recharge set pieces for 39.6% more healing and recharge.  Is Energize slottable for End Mod to get a better endurance discount?

 

Speaking of which, what is the discount anyway?  Why do I see different numbers for it everywhere I look in game?

 

Under Enhancements screen "show detailed info":

 

97.60 %% Strength to Endurance for 1 m 0 s

 

Under Monitor Combat Attributes, Endurance Discount:

 

-49.38 % from self

 

Right mouse on power icon in upper right:

 

Endurance Discount:  -66.32%

Endurance reduction is calculated as "100 ÷ (100 + enhancement value)".  So in the case of above, its 100 ÷ (197.60) = 50.607% of the original cost or a 49.38% reduction (ie 100 - 50.607, with some decimal rounding / your numbers being slight off somewhere).

 

The 66.32% reduction may be including your total end reduction from other things too.  If my math is right, you probably have about 99% reduction from other things (enhancements, Alpha slot, set bonuses).

 

[1 ÷ (1 - 0.6632)] - 1.976 = 99.3% from other stuff.
