Was something done to MP usage?

Do skills use more now? Or something? About a week ago, maybe more, my MP started draining insanely fast. I spend half the time on Island of Dawn fighting bams just trying to get my MP back up. On several of my characters this started happening. Which is pretty annoying since right before all this started happening, I got back into my ninja and gunner and bought them new MP inners which made it so that their MP practically never got even half way empty... now this. Nothing has changed, I'm still using the same charms and buffs. Is this happening to anyone else?

*edit* My charms aren't running out, my stamina stays above 110 due to my mount, and I even always use my felicity to gather while I fight and get the replenishing buff for MP. I pick up the MP motes when I can, I use auto attack in between skills. I still have this problem on a few characters. And as I've said, it just started a couple weeks ago randomly. It was fine before that.

    Charms expire and you must refresh them. I notice MP almost empty, then notice "oh hey, charms are gone". Refresh, back to normal.

    Yeah it's not that. Charms are still good.

    Just in your head. So many ppl makes the same threads thinking infused charm got nerfed or something but it wasn't proven at all nor did ppl believe them.

    Ninja. Having mana issues. Getting MP inner. What the heck did I just read...

    It's happening to my friends, so I don't think it's just in my head. It's very noticeable how much it drains now. And yes, MP inners on a ninja. I have tons of crit elsewhere and it's only used for farming bams so it doesn't really matter. Wasn't about to drop a ton of money on "good" inners for an alt. The inners fixed her original mp issues which resulted in me being able to kill the bams quicker and easier, which is all I needed it for.

    Are you ignoring those magical blue balliess which bams drop? You shouldn't be if you are are.. I didn't even know ninjas used mana and I have 2. If you're having mana issues with those two classes, you'll hate lancer and sorc.

    I pick them up when I need them. But they don't instantly give you enough MP to keep going. I still have to wait a bit for anything significant. I picked those up before these problems started though, so that's not it either. Like I said, nothing has changed. Not my charms, not my buffs, not the way I use my skills or the motes I pick up. Nothing. But I drain mp like there's no tomorrow in a matter of seconds now, for no apparent reason.

    Never have an MP issue on any of my toons at all . Never seen it even drop to 50% no matter how many skills I am throwing out.
  • ratedXratedX ✭✭✭
    No changes were made regarding "Charms"
    MP has always been a issue in the game and varies depending on the class.
    Charms, Potions, Glyphs and Crystals are our only mean's to fight this on-going battle!
    Not to mention if the priest or mystic in your party decides to grace you with MP rejuvenation powers :+1:

    Your best bet?

    I also thought maybe something is going on with MP few weeks ago on my lancer but then again I realized it's just lancer class itself having its own mana problems lol and depend on the healers in a party sometimes. I ran on my gunner few times in dungeons and didn't notice anything strange in terms of mana usage. When I do IOD on my lancer and pick up the mana ball thing, I never have mp issue even if I go all out with adrenaline rush + brooch so I feel nothing is wrong really.

    I went from having no mana issues on my Sorc to be constantly out of mana, having to spam my mana drains on CD.
    It feels like my Glisteningly hardy Niveots dont work anymore.
    There is definitely a new issue here as others I know experience this problem too and we all seem to be in agreement that it's fairly recent. The last 3 weeks or so.

    Your charms lose their effect as your stamina depletes. at 107 stamina you will really start noticing it on certain classes.

    When out soloing however, your only source of mana is from your consumables compared to a dungeon where you have a healer giving you mana. A single infused charm is not enough for any class in this game, maybe ninja since half your rotation is auto attack anyway. The blue motes has a 3m uptime, pick them up when you see them and keep the buff active, or cash out and buy some mana pots

    Ninjas still run out of MP without MP support eventually.

    I've noticed this too, within the last 4 days for myself. On both my Gunner and Ninja i run out mana insanely fast within the first rotation, 120 stamina chams other mp helping and healer.... and it still just poofs. where as before i never hit critical on any of them to the point that my skills would blank out. It's annoying that i have to sit there and basic attack mid rotation to get it back up to finish. and before anyone says anything, yes, i use basic attack after ever skill. which should be more than enough to keep me mid gauge....but it's not at all. So something is wrong, just don't know what.

    casual spacebar class have mana isuess, is a surprise ...............

    next time change glyps to Soloed glyps ( ninja have somes for save mana )
    soloed pve glyps are diferent from full pve in dungeons
    use mana potions and charms

    solution very simple and easy to get
