How is this a thing in 2024…i’ve been talking about this since alpha feedback on these forums. I had to sit there and do no dps for a while just to regain enough mana to do my rotation. Clown show.
That’s honestly crazy that any mage at this point is worrying about mana without it being an actual mechanic of the spec.
We’ve been screaming about mana since alpha. They’ve just ignored it, and they don’t care. The main problem is that TA combustion proc uses up mana. If you get too many TA combustion procs you will oom. In AOE it is significantly more pronounced than in ST.
Insane that mana still exists for Fire/Frost to basically gatekeep Spellsteal in PvP (unless I’m forgetting some functional, non-RP reason for keeping the bar there at this point in the game). Pretty sure there’s already enough punishment for trying to blow through 5+ globals in an arena…
Update! Just had to ask the tank to stop pulling in a necrotic wake 10 so i could drink since I ran out of mana and had to stop DPS in the middle of a key.
That’s WILD
That’s really weird. Arcane back in the day used to be centered around mana and still has tools to play with the resource. Fire doesn’t have Evocation or mana gems and shouldn’t be having this issue. I hope they fix it.
Incredible this is still a thing.
You call it incredible I call it embarrassing.
