i miss my mana

can we fix plz

[Haynar]

Getting a grasp on this. Will try to start doing some pvp fixes mixed in with other stuff.

So for bards, all mana drain spells should not drain mana. Whether its npc or pc casting on them? ToT should replenish enc, but not drain bard?

i'm not sure about NPCs, but i know it is classic for a PC enchanter to gain mana from theft of thought while the bard loses none

p.s. pras

Here's some news:

On RZ you could drain a pure melee with it for the longest time too, provided they were in level range. If not? Had to duel.

Can't confirm if a bard did or didn't lose mana on that though from memory.

Yep. Enchanters always tapped classes without mana in groups. Dunno bout the bard thing but u could tap anyone and get mana.

Could actually use this as evidence that lifetaps don't work properly here. Though you didn't actually do full tap dmg in pvp, you still got the full hp back. The value your target was reduced didn't determine what you got back.

[Mac Drettj]

Interesting point comparing mana tapping someone w 0 mana for full return and life taps heal.

[Dullah]

Point being, there was no direct correlation between who or what you were tapping and what you got in return. Maybe not a direct parallel, but the fact that pvp code reduced the damage was irrelevant to the beneficial effect the spell had on the caster.

[Nirgon]

The tap should hit the bard but I don't know what should happen from there. I am completely clueless on that one.
