#Mana tomes are kind of useless

I have been grinding raids on a new class to get some tomes for it and so far more than half of them have been mana tomes. These weapon tomes are just annoying filler as the amount of mana sustain they provide (1 mana regen or one mana steal) is negligible compared to what other weapon tomes offer.

I can see three potential solutions:

  1. Buff the tomes to be competitive with other tome types
  2. Rework them to be armour tomes instead of weapon tomes (they will likely still need a small buff but I could still see them being viable)
  3. Remove them/make them not drop from TNA (this isn't really the best way to handle item balance but seeing as they are useless to 99% of players it would avoid frustrating experiences like mine)

A another option would be to give them their own "mana tome" slots, however this removes the whole element of having to choose one tome type over another

Imo giving them a range of 1-3 or maybe 1-5 would be best

1-8 mr would be pretty solid I think because that’s basically just one accessory

I suppose it's worth mentioning again though because it didn't make it onto the list of item changes

i think 1-3 is realistic but 1-5 would be nice

Why would I ever use 5 mana regen over a cosmic tome

if you need mr but not sp? What

5 mr is not a lot for a whole tome slot
Selvut said in response that it should be base 6 (like most all items that were 1 mr before 2.0) and therefore roll 2-8

#

Although he was also saying that the mana steal tomes should be base 4 (1-5), which is such a tiny amount more than 8 mr that I feel like it should be more

I would say that's roughly equal in potential
