My group killed turn 4 tonight, and after many many attempts, I have to ask, how are you managing mana during this turn? It feels like every Aetherflow charge is accounted for, with only one or two to spare for Drain throughout the whole fight. Multiple times *I* was the one begging our bard to mage song, because I simply had nothing left, and knew I would oom before my next Aetherflow was available.

For the small packs I'm throwing dots (just spreadable, no Thunder), miasma 2, shadow flare. I use bane, then pick a non dotted target and repeat. I use bane twice to make sure all adds have dots, then use Tri-disaster until there's less than 3 alive, which I finish off with ruin1/2 (they're usually at a sliver of life by this point - 2 is only if I have to move and have aetherflow or mage song up).

I'm also using contagion to put extended dots on the non-priority target (second soldier at the start/dreadnot while we're on soldiers), to make double dotting a bit easier.

I just wondered, does anyone else struggle with mana during this fight? If you don't, what do you suggest to help me keep max dps without going oom or begging for mage song?
