Quad kiting as a druid

[JaVeDK]

I played a wizard on live, and a druid here on P99 and I'll let you in on a little "secret" that makes quite a difference when kiting (and in many other situations where mana is a factor).

The game updates your mana recovery in intervals of 6 seconds. Within that time your mana will tick up once and readjust once at an amount dependant on your buffs, level and whether you are sitting down or standing. What this means is that once you adjust to the rhythm of "tick" and adjustment - which varies within those 6 seconds - you can run, cast, sit, cast, (sit shortly again if your cast time is <6 secs), run, sit and so on, effectively regaining mana as if you were sitting down while kiting. With this technique you will save at least 40% mana and the total kite time will only be minimally affected, once you master the method.
