Ranger : mana consumption

edited November 7 in Ranger Archetype
The mana cost/consumption of the ranger are too high, I see mage continue cast with near always full mana, ranger after 4/5 monster is mana out and must sit and regain.

    I concur. As the bard who is watching out for everyone's mana (including using the hymn as well as the melody) - Fighters and Rangers are the ones out of mana the most... which is mind-boggling.

    Step one get shortbows lvl it to lvl 7 i beleive, take the mana skill and get like 25mana back every 2 seconds when AA
    pretty sure every weapon has a mana return skill on it but everyone neglect it for the dmg bonus skill in the option

    At level 7 a a Bard. I have a hard time keeping fighters topped up just to add to this. Have yet to play with a Ranger. Seems most are playing fighters and Mages.

    I have the passive to regain mana back and I use shotbow but I take 16/19 mana esce 4/5 attack, maybe the skill of the ranger are too much high cost of mana, I check the mage skill except the 3 tier skill are very low mana cost respect the ranger.

    I check the mana cost of the skill, I first skill cost 82 mana, and itàs the lower corst of mana skill, the mage cost skill is around 20-30...I thinks the mana cost of ranger skill itàs too high.

    you rangers do too much - giving ya more mana or uses in pvp is broken. Nah, drain more mana faster imho with the amount of burst you can do for pvp balance sake.

    yea, mana costs are quite insane
  • NatharielNathariel Member, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    now it's more bett4er than before, they reduce the mana cost, if you have a bard in team you don't need to use ration to recovery.

    The ability that I want to see. You shoot an enemy, they leak blue liquid on the ground, you step in liquid and get mana back. Then we worked for it, it's not free MP/5 regen.

    That's because a ranger shouldn't just be spamming there abilities as soon as they're up. Learn when to use what and where.

    Your damage and mobility comes with downsides.

    Perhaps have a more management of mana style where the higher the mana the tank the faster it regenerates so burning lots keeps the burst but maintaining it over half is rewarded.

    We can spam abilities? with the except of 2 the rest have 30-60 second cooldowns :p mages ability are half that cooldown and more dmg on them hahaha they do have ever so slightly less mobility though since disengage CD is 33% quicker than blink although i think blink is longer range than disengage and also instantous sooo maybe not.
