Mana pool, int vs mana items sanity check
 

People tell me once above 200 int int items are only 5 mana an int. Using the original UI, I can see mana displayed as a finite number. Unbuffed I have 3027 and 223 int. I remove a 5 int earring my mana pool goes down to 2991. I put the earring back on and remove a 35 mana bracelet it goes down to 2992. With that logic I should be able to replace the 35 mana bracelet with a 5 int bracer and have 1 more mana. Nope its now 3014. How can that be based on the numbers above?

Throw a wrench in to that finding, I then replace a 5 int earrign with a 35 mana black saph earring, should be more mana pool right? Nope, it goes down to 2992 like I thought the initial test would have done with the bracelets. Does int vs mana varry per slot? Is there a coding problem with specific items? Is the original UI just gimp? What will happen to Sookie now that her best friend is dead?

Tara ain't dead!

I could be wrong, but I always thought the amount of mana/int you get scales with how far you are above 200. For example, going from 200-205 int would give you more mana than 210-215.

So perhaps being above 220 int and putting on a 5 int bracelet instead of a 35 mana bracelet is not the same as being below 220 int and putting on a 35 mana earring vs a 5 int earring?

Yeah, I believe returns continue to diminish all the way up. 200 to 201 > 201 to 202

You bastard did tara seriously die? Was waiting til the end of the season to watch it all at once.

That was 5 days ago bro.

haha you should have gave a spoiler alert.. I think she'll definitely be dead since they haven't rez'd anyone to date. Most likely it will lead into another one of lafayete's possession's.

It's hard to say really, they dont go by books either since Lafayete woulds have been dead by second season if so.

Yea guess we just have to wait it out heh
