Power Problems???

[G1Joe]

<DIV>Just wanted to get some helpful info on managing mana better or maybe what I should be looking at to increase/augment my mana pool?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If im tanking particularly within 2-3 pulls (if ^^^ mobs above my con) im out of mana, is this usual or have I got v low mana pool I find if I dont throw eveything at these higher level mobs when tanking keeping aggro becomes fairly difficult.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyway just looking for advice really</DIV>

Sadly all fighter classes are mana-holes .. the best you can do is to always have the best drinks, maybe also use mana totems, and use mana sieve and manastone whenever its up.

look for what spells are mana sinks and avoid using them excessivly.get a few FT items (not easy if your under level 60 =/also depends on your group, if the DPS are sat there mashing every button they have as fast as they can, your going to have to waste a lot of power keeping agro off them. if they play smarter you kill things a touch slower but waste far less power and dont have as much down time.basically avoid using wrath. dont AE unless your going to be hitting at least 4 mobs. dont use blessing unless your healers are unreliable, same goes for life taps.

<div></div>something I noticed when I compare my 53 sk to other 53 sk's on my server is I seem to have the highest INT of anyone , by FAR!!and I rarely have power pool issues these days. I wonder if I am doing something wrong there  is so much of  A DIFFERENCE!! granted I have lower sta and agi than others, I think its how you play that makes up for these things.edited out, look below for why. I am an idiot. thanks.<div></div><p>Message Edited by muguguypan on <span class=date_text>07-21-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:02 AM</span>

STR and WIS increase power pool, not int.int increases our spell damage, which is our primary source of damage. higher int just helps you hold agro, thus using less power. doesnt actually increase your power.

Hm.. i wouldn't say avoid blessing .. avoid it infight .. but precast it before pulling, i think it helps alot to build up initial aggro <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE> <HR> muguguypan wrote:<BR><BR> but look for bigger +INT items if you want a bigger power pool.<BR> <HR> </BLOCKQUOTE>A lot of Int Items also have Wis .. maybe thats the reason <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR>
