Why do mages get the shaft when it comes to mana regen??

[mr_jon3s]

So re started playing p99 again am a 54 mage and it sucks not have any form of mana regen. Mod rods are nice for other people but as a mage why do we get the shaft when it comes to mana regen??

Mages have the same mana regen rate as all the other casters with equal meditate skill.

Really though because pets.

Mages do get HP regen buffs through their armor series and have unlimited bandages.



Enchanters get their clarity buffs.
Druids get some self buffs to speed up mana regen at 59/60 and PotG at 60 in Velious.
Wizards get some slight self mana buff, Manaskin, and their Epic.
Necros get to trade their HP for mana and Manaskin.

Yours is not to question why, yours is but to summon mod rods and die.

Magicians in classic everquest had the ability to specialize in Conjuration. Doing this so would allow the magician to chain summon a pet and reclaim him for more mana than it would take to cast. This is not the case on this server. You can not summon a pet for less mana than it cost to make the pet even though specialization is in effect on this server. Its a shame that there isn't more gm's who actually played classic that know some of these tools.

When I started here I wondered why I never saw Mages pet canni'ing. I had a few Mage buddies and this was pretty standard. You're going to have to find several Dated sources with the WayBack machine if you want this fixed, as most of your sources don't include a time frame.

Actual Dated comments about Pet Canni'ing and its Nerf:

Nerfs to Reclaim Energy and associated AAs was December 18th, 2003:

What's not really clear is if this was possible without AAs. So that's what I'd be looking for, if anyone cares.

Poppycock! That would clearly violate The Law of Conservation of Energy! Unless specialization meant that rather than working magic with less mana for the same effect, a portion of the mana was drawn from other sources... D:

Looks liked you are off to a good start substantiating with historical data. Just need to dig a bit deeper and find something from the relevant time frame. Then post all the info in the bugs forum and it will be corrected ... Eventually ^^

You clearly don't know the 4th law, said Law of Thermadynamagic.

How do you think the rest of this server was made? The proof exists out there, it's just in places like the Wayback machine and old forums.
