[DK] Lower Runic Power costs dramatically

[Nachogod]

*Cliche "I'm a leecher" comment goes here*

Okay, so I was in Ulduar the other day and a Disc Priest jokingly cast Power Infusion on me. I noticed my Death Coil had 8 RP removed from its cost (-20% cost, just like the -mana cost of the spell).
Like any responsible adult I quickly ran a search for -mana cost items.
It lead me to Burst of Knowledge, the classic "I wish I had a real healing trinket" item my priest used 3 years ago.
Aaaanyway, here's a screenshot of the result:

-100 Mana Cost translates to -10 RP cost.

I assume this stacks with PI and would lead to either 14RP Frost Strikes or some other number because -mana cost isn't that simple.

There is also another trinket, Spark of Hope, that is a passive -42 mana cost that I assume would be -4RP. Currently I have healers in front of me on that one so I can't say I can test that one.

+rep for 1337 paint skills

Nice find, can anyone confirm?
A second note - I wouldn't want to use a trinket with that long of a cooldown just to reduce RP by 10 on my stuff :\

i can see this beeing crazy burst damage with unholy aura bursting out insane amounts of frost strikes

[Nachogod]

Well, umm... I guess it isn't as awesome as I thought.

Your contribution to the thread is as appreciated as your personality must be.
I don't even know what you mean by this comment, but I'll assume it's meaningless.

pretty sweet find! will try it out later tonight

You did this "the other night"?

I know that Blizzard has been hot fixing items to no longer reduce RP costs.

You can read about it on EJ at:

Screenshot was taken today. This is US servers if that means anything.

Man, I was so happy to discover something, and it turns out other people already knew about it. Oh well.

well, auslese's light channeler is better for it, frost strike is an ability, not a spell
...like crusader strike i guess?
anyhow, it wont consume the charge that reduces the manacost, but it WILL reduce its cost
thus: for 10 seconds you will reduce the cost by 21/22, as long as u dont use a real spell to consume it (i.e. death coil, which would be strange anyhow)
