I'm confused here

How come you get full mana by the time you cast thunder 2 and i need the time for thunder 3 plus 1,5 sec to cast fire3?
There must be a difference somewhere. Any ideas about where it is? You enter umbral phase with much more mana then me?
Or you are making calculation when bard with mana regen song is near?

How close are you to the boss? Blizzard 3 > Thunder 2 > Fire 3 > I usually see 2/3 ticks of Umbral and I'm back to full. If you are far enough away, max range, you might even get another tick before your Fire 3 hits and you get Astral 3. I'm not using cast time buffs or anything and it is usually the same regardless of bard.
