Tanking and Regen

[PetiteMalFleur]

The other issue you will find with drk is there is a bug currently that causes regen ticks to steal their mp. This is a bug that causes all buffs and debuffs to reduce their mp. For example, astro buffing the drk will cause mana loss both when the card is applied and again when it falls off. Poison ticks act like regen on their mp. Regen is particularly bad because with higher spell speed the regen ticks come faster causing massive mp loss.

Some drk may ask you to avoid using regen at all. It is important to keep an eye on their mp pool and avoid regen if you see it causing an issue for them until SE can fix this bug.

None of this is true. The effect you see is 99.99% sure to be Darkside's normal depletion. If this were true I would never be able to Tank with a WHM or SCH in my group ever since they buff like crazy without any RNG. My MP hasn't gone down faster than normal even with 2 Medica II's and Regen.


Another thing I'd like to add in regards to pre-pull Regen is don't run away from the adds if you do it. Don't be scared of the baddies.

I didn't comment based on rumor. The dev team has commented and confirmed this as a known bug. I expect they will fix it with the next hot patch.
