This is a bit confusing. Why did Blizzard change from an absolute mana cost for spells and talents to this % of base mana cost? I don't know to me this could be either completely dehabilitating or open to exploitation.
Dehabilitating in the fact that after I use 3-4 talents or spells, I am basically out of mana and screwed if I have a large mana pool.
Exploitable in the fact that okay lets just say it takes a % of the base mana (mana pool with armor stats), why can't I just dump all my +int gear paladin gear and get warrior gear and get my intellect to the lowest level given by my level stats after which I will stack on mp5 gear or mp5 gems with minimal boost to intellect... Wouldn't the absolute mp5 replenish my low mana pool so fast to the point that my mana will replenish to 100% quicker than the cool downs of these spells?
I don't know. I am a bit confused if I am missing something as I am not that great of a retardin... :(
This is for retadins not sure if this applies to holy or prot too.
