Talk:Streamline/@comment-94.195.19.1-20130427014720

Just commenting to say the formula at the start of the page is absolutely butchered.

Cost = (Base Energy Cost divided by (1 + X), where X is the percent power efficiency, and the result is rounded up.

Here's that in practise with me only fixing the missing bracket (100 / (1 + 30)) = 3.2258 and so on. Nowhere relevant to what streamline does at all.

Here's a re-write of the opening paragraph that is mathematically correct and nests itself properly bracket-wise.

Cost = (X / (1 + (Y / 100))) Where X is the Base Cost, and Y is the numerical value Streamline displays. The result is rounded up, and it is important to note that Streamline does NOT reduce the cost of abilities by the percentage displayed but instead does something a little harder to explain. Instead, think of it as finding the value that when multiplied by the cost of Streamline, is equal to your base energy cost. That then becomes your new ability cost.

I hope this helps, and having read these comments I urge Zelklen not to fly into a blind rage just become someone is correcting him on his page. Feel free to reword my actual wordy-bit if you feel it confusing but do not touch the equation.
