Other then that I just wanted to say, I love your Blog, I just started healing (77 Druid) and it's a great inspiration, been playing the game since Vanilla WoW, however always as a Warlock, Hunter and Mage. Kinda wanted to do something else then blowing stuff up or feeding my pet, so here I am ... Heard you are expecting your first born, I gave birth to our little girl a few weeks ago, so I fully understand why you want to close the door here. Thanks for the great site and the best of luck with your new family Love Sita Hi Phea,

This really only comes into play in borderline situations, where Innervate is just barely filling up your mana bar, but if you consistently find yourself with less than full mana at the end of an Innervate, then switching to a Spirit weapon is probably the thing to do. @Fiord: This is a great point that I haven’t emphasized before.

Usually I can look at my Mana bar during INN and continue casting Rejuvenation on raid so that the bar never refills to 100%. With my numbers your calculator suggests High Int weapon to swap, but I am wondering if I should not invest more in Spirit still - since I feel that I can intensify casting (particularly with [item]Scarab of the Infinite Cycle[/item] instead of Bangle) so that the Innervate never really refills the mana bar completely. If I cast 10 Rejuv's during 15 seconds, I will effectively use over 4000 mana - this is an extreme, but it does happen in healing-intense fights where the entire raid takes continuous damage.

So sometimes it will tick immediately after you leave the 5SR and sometimes it will take a second.

When does the first chunck of mana from outside of the FSR tick? Is that the 6th second after you've stopped casting? I have a question: mana regen ticks every 2sec.

Its all going well, im almost at the stage where i put in the actual calculations. i've posted progress screenshots along with the incomplete addon on my guild forum. Everyone feel free to test it. once its finished i shall put it on curse and Full credits to you ofcouse mr Phae. www.eurokremguild.net ---> Forum ---> Chat ---> Garry's mod so far Phae

As I am not an addon author myself, the only kind of help I could provide would be the math above. But I am certainly happy for anyone to use it as the basis for an addon such as you describe! @Gararf: Thank you. =) I am glad it is helpful to you.

My dream would be to have your mp5 calculator in game (as a mod) automatically assesing the character and telling them what stat they need more of to improve. would you concider working with someone to impliment this? for the good of all treekind?

Unintended buffs to Feral mana regeneration are always welcome and are sure to be at least somewhat of a boon in PvP where Druids' constant need to shift is a stumbling block. @Maulrush: Good observation.
