Game Mechanics: Cannibalize broke

[gotrocks]

Ok, going to do my best to break this down, but it's 3:30 in the morning so be forgiving.

Your cannibalize's are giving the correct amount of mana. Your *client* is just showing you the incorrect amount. If you watch your mana carefully, something like this will happen:

Start at 0 mana, regen 20 mana (because its a nice round number) for meditate, then canni. What you are probably noticing is that you'll go from 0 -> 20 (med) -> 27 (or something like that for canni), but if you wait another second youll then see it go to 40, or sometimes even something screwy like 36 or 37, followed by a jump to 60 if you manage to sit down before the next med tick.

You're still getting the correct amount of mana, it just looks screwy as fuck because of the way the client interacts with the server. yes, its obnoxious, and no, it can't really be fixed.

If you're *really* a stickler for seeing the correct amount of mana, do this in the above scenario:

Basically, if you're regenning 20 mana a tick from med and you start at 0 mana, when you tick up its going to show that you gained 21 mana. I dont know why this is, but its a fact. After a couple seconds (and this interval can vary wildly from just under a second to 4-5, making this difficult) your mana will tick *DOWN* to 20, at this point you should canni and you will get the correct amount of mana from your spell shown in your mana.


I hope that explanation was good enough, like i said im pretty tired and not feeling well, but the above statements are 100% true, and i can guarantee you are getting the correct amount of mana for your canni's. I have a high lvl shaman and have been canni dancing mostly solo (where i have nothing better to do but look at my mana while casting) for many hours, and can attest that this is all true. I imagine some people won't believe me until a dev responds, but for the rest of you, dont worry - your mana is regening the way its supposed to.
