Excalibur's Exalted Blade energy per second

[J2R]

Why is my excalibur's exalted blade's energy per second increases when i decreases my power duration,but when i increase my power duration it increases also,when i use fleeting expertise my energy per second decrease ,what is happening can someone please explain to me thanx

Abilities that are toggled on/off are affected by duration just like efficiency. Increase your duration, and the cost of the ability goes down.

but some of those exalted blade build didnt even use and of those durations mod they just uses mod that increases efficiency

[Klokw3rk]

the relation ship between duration and effeceincty affecting energy drain is strange suffice to say fleeting expertise + streamline lowers the energy drain to a very low value

That's becouse a lot of people creating builds are stupid. Or they thought alternatives are better.

...Or they're just builds from before toggle abilities were affected by duration. Which happened, I think, around U17.

Well, that's because, if you read the very very very very fine print on Blind Rage, you would see that it affects Power Efficiency. A really nifty but unknown mechanic about this game is that Power Efficiency affects the energy drain per second for draining abilities, and the total energy usage for regular powers. Weird, I know!

Most toggled abilities work as follows:

Efficiency affects the energy drain per 'tick,' which, by default, 1 tick is 1 second.

Duration determines how fast a 'tick' is. Negative duration = more ticks per second, positive duration = less, you have to balance the two for toggled abilities to not buttchug all of your energy.

And yes, I'm going to get blasted by all the elitists who think that only their build is good.

Good thing to know.
