mana per five second broken?

[Senf]

Hey. was wondering if anyone can confirm if Mana per five seconds are broken? i have 22mp5 atm. but there is NO difference in my regeneration. is it just me who is bugged? or can anyone confirm?

Is this from gear or from spirit conversion? Mp5 from spirit doesnt kick in until you have used a magic based ability for more than 5 seconds.

Mp5 works fine.

Mana regeneration ticks every 2 second.

So if you have 22 mp5 you can expect

Code: Select all

(2/5) * 22 mana = 8.8 mana

on every tick. I'm not sure how this is rounded.

Mp5 regeneration is always active. Spirit regeneration kicks in 5 seconds after a spell has been cast.

This is something I never understood, why isn't it "mana per 2" or " mana per 4" or at least "mana per 10" Just something that is divisible by 2! Why MP5 Blizzard!?

The way it is set up right now means that something that has 10MP5 actually only restores 8MP5 (on it's own, within a 5 second period) since 10 / 2.5 = 4
Example in seconds:

1: 0 mana
2: 4 mana
3: 0 mana
4: 4 mana
5: 0 mana

Total: 8 mana for 5 seconds of regen.

All rounding is dropped when counting spell damage, healing power, MP5 and what not.

Which are the correct base regen values?

Is it these here http://vanilla-wow.wikia.com/wiki/Spirit

Or these here http://wowwiki.wikia.com/Mana_regeneration

Priest character at lvl 32 with 0mp5, 121int and 148spirit has ingame regen of 49mana every 2 seconds (out of combat, 5sec after last cast) So i guess that would be 98 mana in 5 seconds?

Yet if i go and calculate it

Mana Regen = 5 * (0.001 + sqrt(Int) * Spirit * Base_Regen ) * 0.60

5 * (0,001+ sqrt(121)*148*0,015707)*0,6 = 76,7
5 * (0,001+ sqrt(121)*148*0,009425)*0,6 = 46,03

I get different numbers due to different base regen values yet neither of them matches ingame regen.

What am i doing wrong?

Which are the correct base regen values?

Neither.

Regen in vanilla is 6.5 + spirit/8 per second for priests at 60, other classes are similar (mages are also spirit/8, others are spirit/10)

The way it is set up right now means that something that has 10MP5 actually only restores 8MP5 (on it's own, within a 5 second period) since 10 / 2.5 = 4
Example in seconds:

1: 0 mana
2: 4 mana
3: 0 mana
4: 4 mana
5: 0 mana

Total: 8 mana for 5 seconds of regen.

And then the next 5 seconds give 12 mana, for an average of......8+12/2 = 10. Who would have thought?

wow.. you guys went off on a tangent. The OP is asking of the specific buff MP5 is working or not that he has from gear.

I don't know if it is or not. Its suppose to work regardless of spirit regen rules if i'm not mistaken. I remember stacking that in wrath for my disc priest and not stacking spirit. Just go with the 30% regen in combat talents and stack some spirit in my opinion.

That's not my point, the point is that the name is unclear.
10MP5 only restores 10MP5 when you regen for longer than 5 seconds.
