But the fizzle rate is totally nuts.
I play a 47 Druid with maxed out specialize in conjuration, and I am not kidding, that I do get 3-4 fizzles in a row on my DoT spells quite some times during a couple hours killing. I tried using a lower lvl DoT .. 34 or 24 just to test, and the fizzle rate is just about the same.

(I don't know the exact formula for mana save on a successfull spec. role, and what % rate spec. is supposed to go off ). but i can't really see that specialize have an impact on mana usage. I have tried 4-5 times just using my mana on casting eg. my biggest DoT as the mana saved should be more noticeable here, and taken into count client update bugs on manabar every single Drifting death uses 196-215 mana .... it's supposed to use 200. So I'm beginning to have my doubt that specialize is working at all
