Talk:Potency (history)

I feel that the new spell power does not actually add +1% per spell power point. Consider the epic Ornamental Dagger: pre U14, +50% from superior potency VI. post U14, +15 implement, +48 item to spell power. Now this would translate to +63%, correct? But instead, every single one of my spells (below lvl 7) has experienced a significant decrease in damage: blade barrier going down from 420 to 315, heal from 410 to 320, etc. Anybody else experiencing this?

 * Probably this have more link with the metamagic change than the equipment change. Previously, you had +50% from enhancements, +50% from superior potency (addind to 2.25, not x2), and then +150% from Max/empower (total a bit over x6 damage). Now you have +100 from enhancements, +63 from eOrnamental, and +150 from max/empower, adding to a bit over triple damage. It's expected for the high end to drop a bit, but the lower end raised a lot. At least, I noticed a bit increase on my caster that do not have emp/max. Nibelung (Contributions &bull; Message) 01:56, July 8, 2012 (EDT)
