The bug that gave the crit amount of mana back, was actually good and fun to play with.
2% is just not something worth taking honestly.
Back to stat stick knowledge rune I guess.

Stat sticks it is. Even invocation is hard to make good. Meh. It would be decent for Shadow, but that’s pretty useless.

Oh it was a bug? Because someone told me to get it and test it because they never went oom in raid.
I tried it today and I went oom constantly and didnt feel any mana gained from that rune what so ever.
Yeah that was nice when it worked like that. Warlock runes feel really weak this phase.

“good and fun” - and incredibly unbalanced to give you back 50-80% of your mana
Warlock tank discord went through all 5 stages of grief over this.
Dance is still useful for avoidance if it is needed, but for threat and resource return it is 100% useless. Demonic Knowledge will probably be the main rune for most situations going forward, while Dance will be situational.

Other than demonic knowledge, and shadow and flame, yeah they’re weak.

Going to wade into this conversation having just dinged 40 tonight on my lock tank. A change was needed as i could get 100% mana back via a shadow cleave crit, but it absolutely gutted aoe tanking as a lock especially in dungeon grinding situations. Not sure now who the rune is even targeted to help. In the destruction line, the destruction crit node doesnt give spell crit to boost the dodge % nor does the rune gain from the searing pain node. Demonology also doesnt push this rune to be better.
2% mana on crit is meaningless feedback for tanking as you spend many globals tapping now on aoe fights were threat can matter as the mdps auto dmg has massive ramps.
Can we simply get the buff to stack up to like 3 stacks while in metamorphosis form as it relates to mana gain? Or have the percentage upped?
Otherwise i dont see a function for this rune unless spell crit chance explodes on all gear.

The only function this rune has now is for avoidance in combination with Demonic Tactics and Demonic Grace. If you don’t need the avoidance, then Demonic Knowledge + Master Channeler is the way to go.
