Hello there,
theres a way to you keep your nuker (SPS, Sorceror, Necro and SPH) using skills with no concern about Mana. This is a trick very used in retail like servers (buff 20 min and songs 2 min).
Well, when you become a wizard in lvl 20. you receive nukers skills and summoners skills until you get lvl 40, when you decide what path (summoner or nuker) you will follow.
So, every nuker have some summoners skills. They have "servitor recharge lvl 6" its a recharge that has power = 60. Its a little bit weak, but you can recharge your pet without take its target. However, the buff "Mana gain" Increase a lot the amount of mana you receive when you get recharged. So follow this steps:
1- Make Kookaburra quest. Up it to lvl 55+, evolve it, and Buy a baby pet armor.
2-Buff you and your kookaburra with mage buffs (I would suggest Prof Water to your pet), and then, Buff you and your pet with Mana gain.
3- Your pet will recharge you when your mana is 60% or lower, its a very powerful recharge, mine kookaburra recharges me 350 mana per skill.
4- you can recharge your kookaburra using servitor recharge. (and even heal it using servitor heal). without take its target, so this is not a problem during farm.
well You recharges your pet, your pet recharges you. Your mana never ends. I know Soultaker needs a summon to transfer pain, and in fortress kookaburra may die. But this is a way to players that like nukers manage their mana.
However, our server needs a better mana regen, there is classes, like mine (duelist) that dont have the resources of nukers, and mana regen is too low. Im not asking for infinite mana. But think a little, Every sonic burst or storm, I use 90 mana (60 with buffs), and I regen 7-8 mana even using buffs that increase mana regen. My mana ends very very fast. I'd like you guys post here your suggestions to staff, cause l2 is a group game, I know, but hardly we will find an elven elder in a 1hour buff server, so its been too hard to everyone who needs mana.
Lineage was made to play in parties with 9 players, and at least 1 being an elder. the change of buff time here changes the game dinamic, so I'd like to ask staff to listen and consider players suggestion and at least test something to help us. Every player that say this is not important, that we must manage our mana, Ususaly is a tanker, or destro, that barely use mana. So lets being sensible to others players needing cause server is all us together.
thx for attention.
