% increase in maximum mana and % reduced mana reserved nodes

is it me or are %reduced mana reserved nodes pointless as compared to %increase max mana nodes since the max mana ones are always more so you get more mana in your pool than you would save through reduced mana nodes?

+%max mana works on your base, %reserved works on max mana... big difference


but say like most people have 600 mana reserved. one 5% reduced mana node = 30 mp back. now if you have 400base mp, thats already an extra 32 mana per %8max mana node. I'm pretty sure 400 base mp isnt that hard to get? or am i missing something

also %max mana nodes are much easier to get to than %reserved mana nodes, so you have to factor that in too.
It's about percentage based auras. Maximum mana doesn't help you if the amount reserved "grows" with your mana pool.

Reduced mana reservation helps you run percentage cost auras. Increased mana doesn't.
