Does resource cost reduction impact skills that drain all remaining resources like it did in D3? like if i have 20% cost reduction is there a bonus added when i cast hydra for all my remaining mana?

serpitine is written as "per mana you had when casting" and "consumes all" its cost is irrelevant since its cost + rest

my question is since it consumes all are the two additional heads for spending mana added to iris damage output

For the rod of kepe, yes cost reduction add damage somehow. For the serpertine aspect hydra, it doesn’t. Great game logic btw :rofl:

I dont think you understood my ask. In D3 resource cost reduction impacted things like weapon throw+boulder toss and meteor+star pact. both consumed all remaining resources to boost damge per resource spent. RCR of 20% when casting with 100 was treated as 120 resource. Im curious if d4 does the same.

In my opinion, words to words from the serpertine and kepe rod wordings, rcr should not add damage at all.

i understood it fine.

the serpitine, aspect does not because its doesnt take account cost.

as mentioned by someone else, kelpe(as do aspects/item that say "instead/or max/etc") does as it mentions must have max vigor aka a cost, which i thought my explanation made clear, but you proved me wrong.

serpitine has no "cost" to use its effects
