mana regen

After doing a test, it seems clarity adds to your base mana regeneration rate which is 105% of your total mana per minute. This rate then gets increased by your passives and items.

mana regen per second = (Total Mana * 1.05 / 60 + bonus_from_clarity) * (1 + %inc_from_passives_and_items)

Edit: fixed the formula

thanks

Ohh that misinformation... your %mana regen bonuses from gear/passives does improve the flat mana regen added from clarity.

I simply went off whats on the stickied mechanics thread which makes no mention of clarity... my bad.

"Increased Mana regeneration rate" modifiers modify the base rate. For example, 20% Increased Mana regeneration rate would result in 105 * 1.2 = 126% per minute."

There's no indication that it affects clarity based off that description. Base rate should mean without auras and without passives/items. Maybe change the clarity description to say "adds x mana per second to your base mana regeneration rate"

It's also hard to find this specific information ... It's not on the wiki, 9 pages in the clarity skill thread with only 2 dev posts in it). I would have assumed otherwise had you not posted here, and believe this is the first instance of easily findable information about clarity + mana regeneration. If you search for it, this is the only relevant post.

This game is going to be very difficult for people in Open Beta trying to take it seriously if the wiki, which isn't even official, and other accessible information is not improved. Add to that, people maintaining their elitist attitude regarding information in the game (people getting ignored simply for asking questions in global chat).

It affects clarity. Clarity is flat regeneration, increased mana regeneration is a percentage increase. (Just like how increased physical damage and +physical damage work together.)

To be frank, the wiki should not exist right now. We're in closed beta and everything is changing. It's got lots of outdated information, and there's no reason to keep it current since the entire effort may be wasted. An official wiki or information resource will be available in the future but it's unnecessary for CB.

As for getting ignored for asking question in global chat, that's hardly true. I see people helping others out in chat constantly, 24 hours of the day, 7 days a week. I would suggest not taking things personally and not implying that the game owes you something.

There's nothing stopping you from, say, turning on clarity and putting on a paua amulet and watching your mana regeneration change. Takes maybe 15 seconds in game, including the load screen.
