Lately in 8v8, I've been getting runs where one or both healers floor their MP rather quickly and Manasong is only a short term bandaid given it's long cooldown. So, two questions. Is Ballad's regen even worth the damage reduction to sustained, non-burst dps? And also, I have no idea about how valuable stats are or aren't, so would I be better of cutting the +6 Dex trait in exchange for a further 60 seconds off of Manasong? Or should I just concern myself with runs where healers have better MP management?

(If it is legitimately difficult for healers to not floor MP at times depending on their teams then I do apologise. I honestly have no idea and am going off of what a friend said when he told me they were just inexperienced).
