Power Increase doesn't really help?

[Matanzas]

<p>Okay so i was excited to see that the power of the champions was going to be greatly increased, but when it was put in it seems that also abilities have had their power cost increased by the same amout as the power was.  So basicly what was probably intended to help people do the dungeons easier just made it so that you have to wait longer for your power to regen...</p>

<p>I have stopped doing dungeons since the patch. They are less fun than they were. The patch has been a backwards step for me.</p>

<p>Are you still having these issues after the downtime this morning? Avatar ability costs were reduced, and the mana pool sizes were set back down. You should be able to use your abilities (Roughly) twice as often now.</p>
