Mana Is Not Stamina....

So why does Mana run out when you sprint? This is extremely annoying, especially when running around and trying to parkour but you end up falling down into a pit of doom and dying due to the fall caused by lack of """"Mana"""". It doesn't make sense either. Mana is for magic, not sprinting, so why? Its just a big annoyance, in my opinion. Anyone else think the same thing?

 

Well, an explanation for it is that you're too tired to cast spells.

Besides, it's a nice limiting factor for not having infini-sprint.

 

I still have infini-sprint because either my mana-regen build or mana steal and shooting stuff along the way

 

The obvious reason is that every player actually can't walk at all in the first place. We've discovered how to float, but this requires mana to use, and the mana use is proportional to how fast we float! Our legs move move because that's just part of casting out magic levitation spell. Or something.

 

Didn't somebody do a WynnTheory on this a year or so ago?

 

Probably, who knows?

 

I assumed that was what you were referencing. Lol

 

Its cause you break your legs so many times jumping off cliffs (especially as archer) that you need to summon magical energies to continue to walk.

 

so...are you saying...If wheel chair become a thing ...we will have infinite sprint ? ...

 

This would explain why we don't see our feet when we look down...

 

Obviously normal swings and jumps should cost mana too.

 

"Stamana?"

 

it doesn't matter what anyone sais it is anoying and not logical

 

Sprinting is a magical augmentation of your walking speed, and therefore costs a constant amount of mana to continue using. Every now and then, you must pause to let the spell used to speed you up be re-cast, and while casting it you must focus and cannot cast any other spells.

 

I would like if sprinting was less costly the higher Intel you have; Then again, that might be a bit broken.

 

agreed

 

So yes, mana is linked to spells, we all know this. But here's how we can think about this in realistic terms (or as far as realism goes in a fantasy setting). Think about it like this: the hero (you) is able to perform a dead sprint at roughly 7 meters (about 15.5 miles per hour) per second. That's quite fast, faster then most to all of us can run. Running this fast at a constant pace would wear anyone out incredibly fast (and don't tell me "but it's a fantasy game, I cast my tireless run spell!" or something). Anyone would need to rest after running this fast for a fixed amount of time. And, here's where the fantasy elements come into play. The character, along with a large amount of people in the world have a great affinity for magic. This is why we can use magic in the first place. SO, what does this mean? Well, the hero (and adventures in the provinces) is an incredibly athletic person. Which means the bodies of adventures are more conditioned than the average human. Because we also have an affinity for magic, our energy is also able to regenerate faster.

tl;dr: Our energy regenerates faster because we can use magic. We still need to rest because we are human. You try doing a dead sprint sustaining 15mph and not be tired afterwards.

Legit, but dont you think there should be a separate Stamina bar somehow at least?

 

What should they use to show the sprint? Maybe dont have a bar and instead show a number value like they do with Health and Mana?
