Always OOM

[greenmantle]

<p>Back from a break and seeing i had forgotten how to play most of my toons i thought a good time to start and alt</p><p>Friends wanted to be dps and warden so i descided to start a pally. So far loving it, but the catch is i drain mana like an ex wife does  your bank account. Lvl 30 52 aa so still a newb pally, I am wondering if it gets better. I grab str  every chance i get because i understand that is my pool stat, sort of decent leveling gear yet a few mobs and im getting low.</p><p>Sad thing is its seems as long as i have mana a pally is almost indistructable so i suspect its a deliberate plot by Sk's but i would apreciate a few tips.</p>

<p>Sks have a mana spell as their 52 Ancient.</p><p>The *only* thing you can do is sort it with gear or group... gear is generally better and getting your hands on a power proc item is pretty much a *must*; once you do however you'll never run out of power <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>The easiest item is the RE:2 blue shiney Collection earing but you need to be level 80 to use.</p>

<p>There is also the Corruption of Elements. That's at level 55, though it might take you a little longer to gather all those collection pieces.</p><p>aITEM -1602044284 -2017451037:Corruption of Elements/a</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies, be a while before i get either but at least its a goal. Only problem with the collection solutions is im always out of plat as well <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>It doesn't cost a thing to collect a shiny.</p>

<p>It's all lavastorm collectables.</p><p>If you're going to hit the broker for shinies, do the goblin standards for the <a href="http://lootdb.com/eq2/item/1482634583" target="_blank">Mark of the Ankexfen</a> (click for link to item and collectables needed). I use only that one, and I don't run out of mana when pulling multiple mobs.</p><p>Another good one is the <a href="http://lootdb.com/eq2/item/1689985518" target="_blank">Fungus Spore</a> from Guk. (again, click for link)</p><p>The fungus spore has better stats, but the mark gives more mana.</p>
