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

[ElemtalRZ]

Do we need more proof?

[Madbad]

None of it is reliable or specific enough it seems to me, keep digging!

Magicians do not need mana. Summon pet, chain burnt wood staff, win.

I have my epic pet and a mana robe so could care less about mana regen. That should be enough proof in all honesty this is supposed to be classic Eq. If the gm's dont want to make it as classic as possible, not my problem.

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.

I played a magician on Rallos zek a majority of my life I was lvl 52 doing this. I know for a fact that it was put into place and the AA Improved Reclaim wasn't even put into the game until the nerf took place.

So with that staff you can cast a 330~ dmg nuke for free every 14 seconds essentially as long as you are level 46+?

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 ^^
