Hi, im wondering if more energy gives u more mana regeneration rate?
Yes. Mana regen regens a certain % of your max mana. Double your max mana, you will double the regen rate.
thank you very much.
im up for advocating for energy
like orcinus says, higher mana gives more regen. this can both be achieved by picking a good amount of energy, but also by having high mana increase on your items, or having mana steal. most go for the latter solutions. both are good enough options
mana steal/mana increase lets you put your points elsewhere than energy, but it has its downsides. the items you would have to wield to boost or get back your mana takes room away from other modifiers. its a bit silly seeing your friend overjoyous to find a charm that gives a high amount of mana, like a “finally” reaction, or “finally” finding a ring or weapon that leeches mana. when just a few points in energy for a barbarian means he can bash away with his cheap skills for a good while just for the beginning of the game alone. most of his skills dont increase in mana cost as they are picked so you can see how that builds up
there is also a hidden modifier for vitality and energy. i dont know exactly how the numbers work, but higher amounts of vitality and energy gives an increased chance that healing and mana potions give twice the hp and mp they normally give, respectively. mostly to keep the potions relevant as you increase your bars. this also shows another obvious downside to boosting your mana through items. you will become a super mana potion junkie and have to rely on rejuvenation now and then. and for leeching, some monsters are immune to it. would feel better if you can continue to bash the undead worryfree
