We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.
How do players never seem to run out of mana?

So today in PvP I faced this 2H sorcerer, he started off with crystal frags, then casted BE MULTIPLE times; I mean a lot. and also casted some more crystal frags, after about 10-15 seconds of this, he casted BE 4-5 more times to escape the battle. How would this player have the mana to support this?

✭✭✭ah. ok. ty for the info. It was kinda bugging me to watch someone spam an ability that is supposed to cost 50% extra each time you cast it, close to 10 times. now if only there was a set that did that for stamina.... hehe0 -

✭crystal fragments are free also when proc, so he cast instant, with extremely high crit, that will be often, I have almost 80% crit0 -

I also have a sorc class(HA 2H) so I am familiar, with some of these abilities, but Im still not an expert on them.

✭That is because it was a sorc ,dont try this "never run out of magicka" thing on a templar :PEdited by Nox_Aeterna on August 9, 2014 9:25PM"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

✭if he instant cast the crystal fragments yes, if the hands move abit at first doing some hand movements to cast the spell, its cost mana0 -

Correct me if i am wrong, but procced fragment is not free, just 50% cheaper, no?
Also, what does crit have to do with it? The frag proc happens 35% of the time when you use a magicka ability, crit or not.1 -

✭✭✭ah. ok. that makes sense. well.... guess ill have to just avoid all sorcerers that do this.... as my NB archer cant last long enough to stand up to them:(

✭✭✭if I could just make some ravage magicka poisons, or get some friends to make some and buy some from them(ZENIMAX) This would not be a problem:) I would not be forced to sit there and hope they run out of mana, I could actually take the fight to them. but I guess I could TRY to go cloak and escape0 -

Galrukh✭✭✭It would be nice if this either worked for stamina as well (god knows it doesnt) or wasnt at all possible in the first place.0
