2.4 Star’s Tears Change

by Naive at February 21st, 2008 in PTR |

I mentioned this briefly in the last post I made, but I forgot to highlight the specific change with Star’s Tears. The change is that you gain more mana back the longer you sit down to drink. What this means is that during the first second of drinking you’re receiving less mana than during the sixth second of drinking. This is to prevent players from going out of combat for only a few seconds at a time. Below is further information from Drysc:

There is indeed a change in 2.4 intended to offset some of the mana regen from drinking away from the very beginning of the duration.

However, we specifically made sure the water would not change the amount of mana regenerated by players who drink between pulls or during gauntlet runs. You should see little to no difference in the amount of mana yielded if you sit to drink for at least 6 seconds, which most players do.

[edit] Time changed from 4 to 6 seconds, original information was incorrect.

This only affects drinking in arena.

You haven’t read it wrong, but we’ve decided to have that rule only apply inside arenas. It’s an inconsistency, but one we’re ok with to prevent water from feeling unnecessarily weird everywhere else.
