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

[Ele]

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.
