Game Mechanics My Problem with Vanish and Mana Regen.

This all started with a small rant I posted in the constructive feedback channel on the Wynn Discord, and I decided to continue it a bit in a suggestion on the forums.

The issue I have with Assassin and Mana Regen.
Assassin as a class somewhat suffers from using mana regen rather mana steal as sustain in builds. This is mainly due to Vanish not allowing mana regen to proq while active. My suggestion is for a workaround to be put in place to make mana regen more viable than its current state.

What I am saying is not that mana steal is unviable whatsoever. Mana Steal is a good alternative for sure, but I feel like it just doesn't need to be that way.

Possible Solutions.
I had a few ideas for what a workaround could look like, those ideas being:
Any Mana Regen that activated during Vanish is applied after Vanish ends.
Vanish no longer drains mana and instead costs more inital mana just like any other spell.
etc.

Potential Problems.
Unfortunately the possible solutions I came up with also brings issues such as having to completely change Oblivion or Weathered as well as a balance change that would probably need to be put in place.
My solutions I will admit are in no way perfect, and are merely meant to be examples. Quite frankly, I can't think of a perfect fix myself.

In Conclusion.
A change to make mana regen in assassin builds more viable would be nice, unfortunately it also causes issues. I myself do not have a perfect solution in mind for this.
If anyone reading this would like to reply with more potential solutions or issues that would arise that would also be nice.
And yes I know this suggestion is literally changing the entire Assassin Spell Meta :despair:

 

Add a poll.

No from me. Spellspam (mana regen - as opposed to spellsteal) suffers from prolonged vanished state i.e you stay vanished for so long mana regen cannot take into effect.

I don't see this as a problem. Idk how else to respond tbh. Maybe I'm wrong?
