Solo Barbarian Shaman Stat Allocation

[DeathsSilkyMist]

I updated the Wiki, so it should be more accurate now.

To answer an earlier question, it is well-known that wisdom past 200 returns far too much mana. It should be more like 1 mana per point past 200. If that were ever altered on P99 to more closely follow classic behavior it would probably weight the starting statistic balance more in favor of stamina, at least for long-term players. That may or may not ever happen--obviously, it hasn't in ~13 years--so all we can do is give advice for P99 as it is, rather than as it may one day become.

On a side note, the regular traditional P1999 UI that shows mana values should still be present in the patch downloads. It's there in the v55 I have, at least. It's called "default" while the translucent classic-style UI is called "velious."

Yeah I think Green can't use default, but blue can. So if you want to do mana value testing, you need to do it on Blue.

Oh yes, that's my issue with UI, I play on green.

Green can use it now too, since the last patch or so.

Thanks for the correction on the mana formula and input. Changes the sta/wis hp/mana tradeoff to 94 mana per 25 hp pre soft cap, 47 mana per 25 hp over the soft cap.
