Never been all that fond of skills that just increase your AP/power temporarily. Always seen them as a niche move- Why increase my power/ap temporarily, when I can just use a different skill to either inflict damage now, get myself more utility, or both at once?
Adversity is one of those niche abilities, with the caviat of having no CD in exchange for health instead. Notably, the bonus tends to be more than 10% of one's total power, roughly 17%?
(50/[(200 base +53 from mythril staff +10 from cloth enchants)*1.1 ap bonus to account for auras]=50/289.3= 0.172= 17.2% roughly*
Its among the strongest power buffs around, if not the best one stat wise, at the cost of 3000 HP. Coincidentaly, that cost in HP can actually be used to one's benefit if one relies on energy, using the buff when one's HP is reaching 50% to go under it, and get the normal benefits of energy+the buff.
It is hard for me to consider buffing it by decreasing the HP cost. People already mentioned it shouldn't be a skill that is just spammed, and I agree. No one wants to get suddenly nuked, and messing with adversity to make it more spammable could lead to just those kind of scenarios.
That said, there are two things I'll like to say for a mutant's benefit:
1) Do not force mutants to get adversity in order to take ghost rip, if that is still a thing. Not everyone wants to rely on the gimmick, and that's fine. Allow diversity.
2) If most mutants still want the skill's HP cost to be reduced, how about giving the skill a CD in exchange? It already gives more power than other boosting skills of its kind, so a CD for a version of the skill with lower HP cost wouldn't be that out of place.

*I know some builds can reach even more power. Just trying to reach a rough calculation.
