Replenishment

[Greebo]

So. With 3.1 we will have Shadow Priests, Retnoobs, Surv Huntards, Destro Lols, and Frost Mages. And yet they want to make mana more of an issue?

[Muatah]

It looks like the are going to nerf regen across the board.

[Greebo]

"into the ground"

[Greywarrior]

Not so much for me, as I don't get much mana back outside the 5 second rule.  The in-combat mp5 should remain unchanged.

[Aquizit]

Yeah, those who work with in-combat regen (dps casters, hunters, shaman, paladins) shouldn't see much of a change, primarily it will only be healing priests and druids, who rely on FSR regen during long fights that this will effect.

[Greywarrior]

I am a healing druid and I really don't rely on FSR regen that much.  It's been a while since I even need to drink a mana pot.

[Amaurn]

Mana regen? *Fel Armor* We don't need no mana regen!

[Greebo]

I want my GCDs back! You shut up about no mana regen.

[Hetarn]

They want to make mana regen more of an issue, but they have stated that they are designing fights assuming you have replenishment in the raid - this just assures you will in 10 mans and the like.

[Qabian]

10 mans without Replenishment are brutal.  Even in my 'never run out of mana spec' I had an empty blue bar almost every fight.

But they're trying to discourage healers from standing around for 5 seconds doing nothing because of the drastic regen they get out of casting.  I don't know if any of our healers make use of that frequently?
