Mana Generation and Max Mana

[jfields]

Just wondering what determines both the rate of mana generation and maximum mana. I know that harness power increases the maximum mana capacity, but does it help with generation on and off nodes as well?

Thanks!

Max mana determines mana regeneration.

Max mana is calculated as thusly:

Base mana (at level 0): (Average Mana Stat Bonus)/2, round down

Each training in the Harness Power skill gains 3 mana for each rank up to your current level, and 1 mana per rank thereafter.

Regeneration is also augmented by Mana Control:

Mana recovery is currently 15% of max mana when off node and 25% of max mana when on a node. Mana Control training will increase that total by a fixed value (not percent), regardless of whether or not the character is on a node.

For professions with a single sphere of power: Bonus Mana Recovered = +1 per 10 ranks, rounded down.

For professions with two spheres of power: Bonus Mana Recovered = Evaluate higher of their two respective MC ranks as above. Evaluate lower MC ranks as above, divide by two (round down), and add to first result.

Example:
If a sorcerer has 170 skill (70 ranks) in Elemental MC and 120 skill (30 ranks) in Spirit MC, he will have a bonus of 7 mana recovery (70/10) for the Elemental training and a bonus of 1 mana recovery for the Spirit training (((30/10)/2) = 1.5, rounds down to 1) for a total bonus of 8 mana recovered per pulse.

Thanks for the info! That was what I was looking for.

So, if I'm in a dual-circle profession and have 34 ranks of each, the bonus would be:

34/10=3.4 -> 3
34/10/2=1.7 ->1

For a total of 4.

If I had everything in one circle, it would be

68/10=6.8 ->6

Seem right?

I'll follow up with the profession-specific questions in the appropriate place, but wanted to understand the mechanics first.
