Keeping Mana levels up without constant potting

[Madnex]

I just ran off to test, took some damage in a tomb, then tried to hold a combat stance... Lol... Fail... But are you saying it's supposed to work but doesn't, or am I completely misunderstanding?

You missed the sarcasm haha. When you take damage your HP/MP regen actually drop until you're out of the fight. Try shooting a few skills until your mana is around 50% without an enemy around and see how long it takes for it to replenish. Repeat the process but this time go stand next to level mob that can barely deal damage to you. You'll notice the regeneration rate is much much slower.

lol, sarcasm doesn't register within my first half hour of waking, sorry :-P OK, I'll stick with my haunted ring. I've had it upgrading all weekend (trying to get the grand gems on double grand weekend), and boy oh boy I miss it! Mind you I'm also without all my other gear too so that could have something to do with it
