The Temple of Essence description states that it increases the essence of your units by 25%. As of the 1.06 hotfix patch, it provides no bonus.
Actually, as far as I can tell, a Temple of Essence provides a 1% bonus. I was getting a +30% bonus from having 3 shards with Shrines built on them, and after I built a Temple of Essence I was getting +31%. For those that don't know how to see your Essence bonus, click on the View Equipment button for a Champion and hover the cursor over the ESS stat. The tooltip will show the Base Essence and Bonus.
Yeah, the tooltip says 25%, and the value provided is 1.25. However, for the essence bonus stat the game treats the value as the actual percentage boost instead of a multiplier (like, if you have 16 essence and you multiply by 1.25, you will get 20 which is a 25% bonus). Since it does treat it as a straight percentage, it just adds 1.25% bonus to your total. Shards list the bonus value correctly, the temple does not.
I think that same bug happen for various Empire buildings too, that improve essences.
