Question: can u mount in an instances? No. this would help ppl doing a PvE grind but as for myself the only thing i find wrong isnt running out of mana its running out of mobs to kill
mana burn your pet, summon new one, burn it down and rise and repeat |
Well, the imp costs 64% base mana, and on average only returns (at least when looking at my affliction lock's stats) about 3-3.5k mana, which is only about 27-30% of her mana overall. Normally, when you run instances if you life tap once in a blue moon and use Siphon Life as well as the occasional life drain, you are self-sufficient. Plus improved drains helps if you tend to suck soul shards often since that returns 15% base mana after the soul shard is created. This should be a basic talent all affliction locks should have if they are group/raid bound.
It's still an interesting to learn overall, but I'd rather wait for the time the imp takes to regen mana or live off of my Frozen Shadoweave bonus and lifetap with siphon life. When you look at it, you're casting another spell and therefore only gaining about 2.9-3.4k mana back, much easier to drink overall.
