Shaman Frenzy Line
 

I was wondering if anybody else noticed anything quirky about the shaman Frenzy line of spells(Self buff Str, Dex, AC). I noticed that when I casted this it would drain my mana per tick while I was buffed with it. Pretty sure this spell is not supposed to act that way.

Actually it indeed is designed to drain your mana, the statistics you get from it are vast, and it would be overpowered if it didn't. Also I believe it prevents you from casting other spells while under the effect?

It's intended, it's supposed to be a sort of "melee mode" buff. But the spell line has advantages beyond that...

There is a pretty big hp regen component as well. Sometime in velious the hp regen and mana drain are removed.

Thank you, I was unaware of that!

Also, at level 49 how is this spell remotely useful? It drains 100 mana per tick!?

It's basically useless now.
