I have found the 'mana tick' graphical displays very buggy

I have been taking my boots off and on as well observing the differences and I have noticed exactly as you claim however there are times when it seems those ticks are 'delayed' and displaying things that arnt quite there, for example

I have seen the boots properly add the +2 mana regen many many times to my mana ticks, I just dont see the consistency with that, which is what you are noticing. They def work tho, there is extra mana being added to my ticks, its just the display does not always properly catch up to the ticks etc


Playing a caster on this server for a while you should have experienced this when you are medding from empty for 1 spell - you are starting from 0 and medding to the EXACT amount to cast.....you will often notice that when your mana display says you have the amount to cast, it wont work and you actually have 'slightly' less and be forced to continue to med or you try to cast the spell and some dispalyed mana 'poofs'

I believe this is bc the displayed mana amounts ( the ticks and the total ) are slightly off from what your character actually has to use

TLDR: the boots work, the UI displaying mana tick/total is kinda buggy and not very accurate

It would be nice in general if a dev would comment on the mana tick display tho I am not sure that is something that can be fixed, UI client side issues have been very difficult to change from my knowledge of P99 fixes
