Arcane Marksman Costs Extra MP Against SH Wards

Post by Karlito »

Arcane marksman attacks against SH wards seem to be costing anywhere from 4-8 mp, rather than the 3 that they should be. Logs from a recap raid with this character are shown below. Had about 90 mp when she started out, 80 after traversing the Stygia Portal. Frost Shroud cast from gem costs 1, and the 10 gun attacks in theory cost 30, but she only has 9 mp left at the end (screenshot).

You're right, it looks like it was charging 4 MP instead of 3 vs non-player and non-pet targets. This was due to some leftover code that referenced last breath's gunwizard MP costs - last breath you needed to buy a now-nonexistant child skill to get it down to 3, whereas nowadays 3 is the baseline.

There is a pending fix for the next patch.
