A level 60 Wizard with 200int has around 2500mana. I don't really see the point in using mana burn when you can use that mana to do more damage with the level 60 nukes...
Cast time Dens.
Also, I hear its super low resist. [ 01-02-2002: Message edited by: Skaw ]

Batutisz stumbled drunkenly to the keyboard and typed:
Since when have jboots worked indoors? I have a pair of jboots too, but last time I checked, they don't work indoors.Dungeon pulling = indoors.
So, while it's handy, it's not necissary.

Uhh, it doesn't do 2500.
You wouldn't be able to do 13k damage critical if it only did 2500. [ 01-02-2002: Message edited by: Skaw ]

Go plug the numbers into a mana calc.

Or how bout you go ask a wizard personally.

We were all impressed when Densetsu wrote:
So, instantly do 2500 damage, then sit and med to full for several minutes, OR, spend 40 seconds to do 10500 damage.What was your point, again?
I imagine the aggro from 40 seconds of non-stop casting, which you will rarely ever get, would be immense and cause your ass to be pounded into the ground.
Mana Burn: (1 skill level - cost 5 skill points - Prerequisite: 3 skill levels of the Caster Archetype ability Mental Clarity) - This ability gives the Wizard the power to expend all of his remaining mana and do damage directly to the target. The damage done is greater than the value of the mana expended and can not be resisted by the target. The Refresh Timer for this ability is 144 minutes (two days of game time).

I have heard the ratio is as much as 4 to one. That means you would do 10k Damage instantly and it CAN NOT be resisted. Sounds pretty good in my book.
Useless on large encounters. Sounds like a toy at best during day to day killing.

Ingame it says damage based off your current mana. Not equal to.

How about the refresh time for a cleric's Divine Resolution? That's 4320 minutes. 72 hours. Three full, real life days.
quote:Did I say it was a piece of shit? Nope. I just said I could think of better uses for the mana. Don't put words into my mouth. I said that I saw Mana Burn as being inefficient.

quote:Rowyl said the crit was ~13000 damage, right? As far as I've seen, a spell crit is damage*2. Therefore the normal mana burn for the guy should be like ~6000 damage, right? So ~2500mana to do ~6000 damage. Yeah, that's pretty crappy. If it crits, than it can do more than Garrison's Superior Sundering, but GSS can also crit, multple times. So there ya go.

Which is even crappier
quote:You're making it sound like it's a godsend. All I'm saying, is that the uses are few and far between. I imagine if it was up, and I figure I'll only get one shot at a mob, then yeah, I'd mana burn. That's pretty much the only time that I think Mana Burn would be used instead of a normal nuke, at least at level 60.
Skaw had this to say about pies:
I didn't say you called it a piece of shit for one, I said your making it sound like it is, saying it does a 1 for 1 ratio. And Crits aren't ALWAYS times 2, they have the potential to be. The key idea behind it is that its also unresistable Dens.
In addition to that, if I were to be fighting giants or dragons, I could use the bane spells to do 10000 points of unresistable damage, not counting crits.

Not every wizard can get Hsagra's Wrath and Porlos' Fury. They're quested, atleast Porlos' Fury is. Inwhich case you have to kill a Dragon to get an item. Every wizard with SoL can get Mana Burn.

Ultimatly, this spell is a showoff spell, or a last ditch effort. Sortof like when Vulak is at 5%. quote:I do, thanks.
Then again...you probably wouldn't know about that.
