Anyone else have problems maintaining power with poise?

<div></div>Figured I would start a new topic.. I find myself burning myself out of power - I can only maintain 3 minutes or so of constant fighting. I use all my melee abilities, and ranged abilities on the same fight.. Half the time I find myself without abilities to use (thermal shock used included). I am wondering if anyone else has the same problems? It seems most rangers here use caustic for dps, I use mental breach just so I can stay fighting. I dunno, maybe its just because of diffrent playstyles.

I don't have poise yet and still use Mental Breach whenver I am non solo... <font size="5">I AM THE POWER</font> <font size="1">(or something)</font> <div></div>

Use a crafted drink AND a power totem.  I believe the level 60 totem is Beholder.

<DIV>Not really.   Melee based skills are more power hungry than my ranged ones and I primarily go ranged.  In addition I use manastone, mage summoned items, and vessel of Fyrun on long fights so that I dont have the problem.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Raid primarily so YMMV</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Depends on playstyle .. if i run through scaleborn for doing some quests and we just want to get quick to a spot and i use all styles i have to get the trash mobs down quickly, i'm mostly the first that is oom .. and yeah .. its mostly the use of melee styles that cost the most mana <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>
