World Stop Mana From Reducing While Running!

Yeah, so why not keep the mana like this? Being able to run endlessly, tirelessly, outrunning the mobs, is just far too overpowered.

 

I agree 100% I posted a thread about the exact same thing though, and I wasn't the first.

 

Generally, I HALF-agree with this. it does end up getting frustrating having the mana bar drain whenever i want to get anywhere significantly faster, and it also hinders combat where it is difficult to balance mana regen and dodging ability at times.

HOWEVER, where the bar does drain, it acts as an inhibitor, preventing hit-and-run tactics, running around dodging everything unable to move fast enough to get into attacking range, and could also be seen as a measure to dissuade from recklessly sprinting into conflicts, and rather encouraging care to be taken.

A decreased drain rate i feel would be a better solution, easing up on the challenge of mana regeneration and increasing the amount of time able to sprint before a recharge period is required, while also maintaining some difficulty in combat with mana regen, albeit easier than it is currently.

 

I never said anything about agreeing to the "no sprint bar" idea though...

 

Honestly, this idea would get rid of some of the challenge you get from the game. My current character has +77% movement speed and I usually have no problem with mana when it comes to running. Also, if you were to have mana steal/regen, it wouldn't honestly matter for your mana. I guess my best suggestion for this would to decrease your mana use based on your current agility level.

 

Gotta get good armor with nice Mana regen so you can run a lot, sadly this is currently the only way out ;c
