Mana Flares have been updated to return 20% of the mana cost of a spell or 1 mana per tier, whichever is greater. e.g. if a caster has a T5 mana flare runestaff, when casting Elemental Defense I (401), they have the chance to gain 5 mana. When casting Heroism (215), they have the chance to gain 15 mana.

Wow that really is a nice change.

Estild, is each one checked individually (so that cast could get you 6, or 12, or 18, and that particular cast got lucky)?

Or is there a single check, and you get good result for whole stack period?

Is it possible we can have some logic shed on these flares?

I just had 16 casts with my mana runestaff and not a single flare.

It typically goes 9 or 10 casts without a flare but this situation is a little unique so I'm curious if they impacted the chances.


I handed it to one character who used it 10 times (no flare) then handed it back to my char who used it another 6 times without a flare. The last 4 casts were spaced out quite a bit (do to wizard spells costing so much and needing to regen mana). So can we know if the weapon's chance of flaring character dependent (meaning when I handed it between characters, its chance was reset) and...does the longer you go without using the weapon does the chance to flare reset or lower?

Thank you if you choose to answer.

I have had back-to-back, and I have had dry spells. These are the only flares (that I know of) that work with AoE spells. I have had several where my T5 returns the full 35 mana of a Song of Tonis.

I have not logged in since the OP made this message, so I have no idea if something has changed.

If so, probably the fault lies with the mechanics of how Core Tap works.
