Re-introduce Mana Regeneration

[Caztazia-alakir]

Hi,

I just wanted to pop it out here and make mention of it because it’s probably one of the biggest things I think is lacking amongst healing classes.

Where are my mana regeneration stats?

What happened to useful stats like spirit and MP5?

I have 400 mana regen per 5 seconds, is that it? Is that what I am stuck with forever? Is my entire healing experience going to be based on a sole 400mp5 no matter the encounter or what gear I am wearing?

I genuinely think it would be beneficial for the game to bring back some mana regeneration stats - it just gives the game more depth and makes things more fruitful and fun.

Thanks

Yes they removed fun stats like spirit and gave us useless versa instead.

I think problem was that at start of xpac you had both weak healing and weak mana regen and it scaled so high then mana wasn’t an issue and you spammed super strong heals without worrying about mana.

Personally it’s not something I miss. It was tedious on a melee class.

Yea healing was more fun when you could run out of mana and had to actually manage it and damage was less spiky

Isn’t mana regeneration scaled by versatility?

2 things i really liked from classic

Ammo & supplies ( like hunter arrows ) & the fact there was a stat to boost your mana/mana regen

Oh yeh, manaregen the most “fun” mechanic ever. Going OOM, sitting down to drink and then getting attacked by an enemy…
Especially rogues and feral druids loved that mechanics, casters, not so much.

And to add to that: in Mythic+,having to wait on manaregen every time will make casters just give up and reroll none-manabased classes. So if Blizzard would reintroduce manaregen, the game would have to change in a very profound way; and then mostly backwards.

In order for MP5 to matter mana has to be meaningful first.

They’ve taken small steps toward this in Shadowlands, but we’re very far off.

They have taken away mana from most melee classes and have given them different resources, even hunters too. I think they should just give pala a different resource. Unless I am forgetting other melee classes that still use mana. I kinda didn’t like that mana didn’t matter anymore when I returned to wow. I think as a healer and caster it added and extra layer of depth to be mindful of it going down and to carefully think about it. But honestly right now as the game stands it demands the ability to spam your heals as much as possible. Mechanics in the game aren’t as simple as they were back then.

Maybe it would be cool to remove mana from the game and add unique resources to all classes and specs. Give each one a gimmick to be mindful of but not too punishing.
