Help me understand Energize (from Energy Blast)

[Sailboat]

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%

It works exactly like endredux slotting, and stacks additively with slotting. But since it isn't actually slotting, it isn't subject to ED limits. This is just like how damage buffs stack with damage slotting.

Thanks!  But what do the different values mean?

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.
