Just so you know ! If i would not stop myself i would need on every mana regen item in the game. You just don’t know how bad it feel when you need to drink every pull and each one of those drink cost 8 silver so if you drink every pull you can go broke fast.
GOD BLESS MAGE WATER !
I mean…you could. You could also need on healing gear to make your pet heals better too.
why not need on spell power gear to buff your Arcane shot and Serpent Sting as well!
See, all gear is hunter gear!
I remember playing a tbc private server where this worked and was abused, getting like 3k arcane shots
try shadow priest
I think he’s just saying that mage water is a blessing for hunters.
It is.
It is something I would like to try, just for fun and testing purposes… Ive read of a few people doing and saying it worked… Unfortunately, all the videos I find I think are from private servers, so I dont feel like they are reliable… But Ive started stashing away some spell power gear ive won from greed rolls…
It will be a meme, but it will be for fun and just to see out of curiosity for myself…
Yea, after level 40 I’ve found myself drinking after every pull or two. Not even due to healing the pet really, just from the shots (arcane, serpent etc…). It’s annoying but it is what it is. I do find it strange that hunter’s mark costs mana though.
Lately, to conserve mana I’ve been just using serpent sting and auto-shot, saving arcane only for mobs that run away at low health. It takes longer to kill a target but less down time.
Managing mana is not hard for hunter due to low max mana vs flat restore effects. Just use the things at your disposal, and you’ll never run out.
Mana oils (can use 2 with dual wield)
Mana regen food
Dark runes (farm demons)
Mana potions
You don’t have to be a “caster” to use any of these things. You have mana… so use them.
everyone needs to drink. protip: instead of using vendor water, tip a mage for some mage water every time you log on. I pay 10g for 600 water and it lasts me all day.
As a multiboxer of hunters, I can say that mana is a thing, however, hunter auto-shot is quite a large amount of DPS, and things like Arcane shot aren’t. So focus time around auto shot and multishot, give in to mp5 moments, and go from there.
You can run a spell damage build as a hunter and works fairly well in pvp since you can bypass armor and move using your abilities. I recommend going full survival because wyvernsting gets 100% damage from spell power. Its a fun-bursty build but not very sustainable damage. Also your mend pet heals for a crap ton with it.
Every caster in the world disagrees with this… especially the ones that are in groups that refuse to use cc…
Oh I think I do. 
On a side note, I just started a mage and it brings me great joy to give free water to nearby priests. 
Haven’t seen any hunters yet.
leveling you should be auto shot, multi shot and not clipping autos… You can throw in serpent if the mob is a lvl higher. Other then that nothing else is needed and you rarely drink. Bandage pet like every 6 or 7 mobs good to go
Your auto shot sounds similar to my wanding.
If I use the wand, it takes more time to kill, but less time drinking after.
I’ve often wondered if it’s all the same amount of time, in the end. Maybe the only thing saved is the money spent on npc water.
Part of the reason I do it is because there’s always the possibility (especially on Herod) that a Horde player attacks me. It’s usually when I’m killing a mob and I’d like to have at least some mana to try and defend myself.
I actually use multi-shot a lot, it does serious damage on single targets but also draws a lot of agro. Isn’t it also really mana hungry? Haven’t been on in a few days so I can’t recall at the moment.
I’m def willing to try that out though.
At 60 used aimed shot instead of serpent sting. ~70 more mana, ~200 more damage.
/laughs in warrior/rogue.
I’ve also yet to run out of bandages despite never buying cloth.
