originally in 99 when mana wasn't even shown on your char, hybrids were getting less mana per INT/WIS than caster classes - exact ratio is unknown.
Some time later, SOE changed it around - they gave hybrids excatly same mana pool, but they made their spell to consume more mana - truly fucked up to be honest. Your mana bar would say that you have 200 mana. Your spell description would say that spell cost 30 mana to cast. And after you cast it, you would loose like 45 mana instead.
Another year later, they removed hybrids mana cost penalty too, so hybrids and casters got to equal terms.
I believe one of the devs stated recently that due to client limitation, they are using latest way for P99 - so hybrids- if you think you suck now - you SHOULD BE sucking even more =)
