0 mana regen while thirsty with FT2 boots on.

ill perform same test- Dev looking at spell file has the real answer here

does anyone kno if FT is suppose to work if u have zero mana regen bc ur out of drink?

aka does it add 2 to MANA REGENERATION such that if mana regen is 0 bc no drink the +2 doesnt exist bc u arnt regening mana for it to then apply the effect. OR does it create "2 mana regen naturally occuring always w/o drink"

i have no idea - someone might

Ok did this test tonight with no water / thirsty

like Trouble noticed - I saw no difference in my mana ticks, always 1

HOWEVER

When I did what I mentioned earlier ( let my mana tick with boots unequipped, then equip them and watch a tick ) I noticed several '3' mana ticks which is correct and would be impossible if FT was set to 0.

So they work - its just that our mana tick display is not accurate

Yea you see the 3 mana ticks but only after it subtracts 2.

with the UI lag, you've got to actually try to cast a spell. unequip boots, get thirsty, blow all your mana, then find a low mana cost spell and wait amount of time that it would take to regen the mana. when you cast, blue bar should snap back up, and you'll be able to cast.

last thing need to do is see if this is actually working when thirsty like Samoht describes

I believe FT is suppose to be innate mana regen whether your character is regening mana or not....so having water or not should not change how FT works

Would love some confirmation tho - also curious if Trouble tested FT1 items

FT1+FT2 should not be stacking and it should be the highest FT on your character that actually gets utilized

Just tested FT1 - not working.


FT1 + FT2 = Showing 4 mana per tick(standing) briefly before dropping down to the 1 mana standing or 21 mana sitting. I think when they are working they will stack, if that tick display is any indication.

Could be an aberration of what the client expects (stacking) versus what the server is really calculating.

It might not show mana, but can you cast? The UI only shows the expected client side values (using post Luclin calculations) and not the actual server side values. I usually have the opposite problem where I'm waiting for enough mana to cast a spell, see the value, stand to cast, and the mana disappears once I try to cast. The UI calc/tick is normally off a little bit compared to the server.
