SCH Mana usage

[Nailkita]

FYI: Your mana is your own damn concern and I honestly wish other people couldn't see your mana pool because they tend to freak out even when you have it all under control.

Ending a fight at full mana is probably wasteful anyway.

If it weren't for smart bards that watch my MP from time to time and Ballad when I dip to the 1k mark I'd fully agree. (I do yell at them when they give it and I really don't need it, for example when shroud is up, or when I have aetherflow stacks and it's off cooldown) But as everyone else was saying, so long as you're still healing you're fine.

Ultimately, you are the only person responsible for your mana bar. I fully expect harder content to make using Bard Song a bad idea due to loss of damage, so as to force healers to control their mana more stringently.

If you're having trouble monitoring your mana, move the bar until you can see it at all times. But I still think it would be better if other players couldn't see our mana bars, because I often do get mage song when I have no use for it whatsoever (I have a rotation I use to keep my mana from tanking).
