Posts Tagged ‘mana regen’

According to the class Q&A on wow.com:

  • They’re replacing mana with energy, like rogues. We’ll have a maximum of 100 focus, and it will regenerate 6/sec (a little slower than rogues’ 10 energy/sec), or a little faster (12/sec) if we use steady shot. No more mana regen, aspect of the viper, or int needed.
  • There will be a complete wipe and overhaul of our talent trees. Again.
  • They’re probably doing away with most talents that increase chance to hit.
  • They’re doing away with armor penetration, and replacing it with “mastery”.
  • Haste will now speed up focus regen
  • Attack power is gone, replaced with agility.
  • There’s a legendary 2h axe called “Shadowmourne”, that whether it’s appropriate or not, we’ll be rolling on :)
  • In general, they’re getting rid of training every new rank of abilities- spells will scale with level, no need to drop by the trainer.
  • Ammo will no longer be consumable, but be an item.

There will, I’m sure, be much chewing on this, but I’m gonna save it for this week’s podcast. Cheers!

This is still a work in progress, and a canon marks guide will be forthcoming. Some of the things I learned on my first raid as marks, however, are:

  • MM at my gear level is a small step up on DPS for most encounters, and a large step up for AOE encounters. This does not factor in the fact that I still suck at MM and am fairly good at SV.
  • Assuming you have specced into rapid killing and recuperation, rapid fire is an awesome mana regen mechanic.
  • Try to save your first rapid fire for the first heroism, so you make the most of your fast auto-shots, and might not waste all the mana regen.
  • If at all possible, have readiness available for the last 20% of the boss so you can get two back to back kill shots, and a rapid fire to boot.
  • Multi-shot might not be worth it for only two mobs. Marked for death and piercing shots apply to aimed shot, but not multi.

Like I said, a definitive set of guides covering MM front to back will be posted once I get good enough. Please continue to help me suck less in the comments- you people have good advice!
