Saga Mana Sword

Only procs mana regen on auto attacts so not everyone gets mana. Or people healing. It's a good start but it needs more love to be useful.

    Didn't say you few days ago that you really like the "mana saga"?

    I personally would prefer if Intrepid stopped introducing more bard abilities which often take 2 second cast time (I'm looking at you Anthem) to introduce 8 or 10 second buffs. Bard does not need more micro / higher APM requirements.

    I love mana saga. The amount of mana it return for effort is awesome. I think it needs tuning. I think it needs one change, anything you do, auto attack, damage skills and healing should all return mana.

    Another option is the Bards auto attack when using Mana sword returned mana to everyone in the team. Unless you are in discord it's hard to communicate, 'hay everyone auto attack for the next few seconds to get allot of mana"

    Yeah, one of the reasons I dont run Anthem in its AoE form. The range is fairly poor and its hard to coordinate with others, EVEN if you try to move as a unit. The effects duration doesnt help either. Stuff like Fortisimo and "mana saga" have similar limitations regarding duration, but are slightly easier to coordinate. All assuming you are actually using TS/discord or similar VOIP solutions.

    I don't get IS desire to have everything trigger only on auto attack combos.

    I'm assuming it's because Bucky doesn't want bard to stay too blacklined like Cleric. There are solutions to this though, other than making everything auto attacks :D. Auto attack class IMO should be phys DPS. Rogue is super auto attack heavy from PTR which is good. Ranger, then fighter.
