Mana Regen's Behaviour

Mana regeneration refers to the mana that a class restores after losing a given amount of mana. Mana can be gained via two ways: passively, and through regeneration models. Passive mana regeneration is global for all classes, and is characterized by a fixed amount of mana gained every couple of seconds. Its effects are also more pronounced outside of combat than within. Regeneration models are unique to each individual class and are independant of class model. Before we get into each of the respected mana models, let's first look at how mana regen behaves in combat:

• Mana regeneration works by deducting the mana cost after the mana gained, not before. So for example: if a skill costed 30 mana and you gained 25 mana then your overall mana gained would be (25-30) = -5.
• Mana does not get consumed if your attacks miss, or if they are evaded.
• Mana can not be gained from negative damage attacks (i.e, healing the enemy)

Mana Regeneration Models

Passive Regeneration:

• Players in combat regain 3 mana every 10 seconds
• Players outside of combat gain 8 mana every 6s, as well as an additional 10 mana per 2s on top of that if they are resting, which would result in 38 mana every 6s
• Additionally you gain 8% of your total base health when outside of combat (not including END)

Warrior Mana Model:

• Classes with this model regain 6 mana with every non crit and 9 mana with crits (only applies to auto attacks)
• Any successful enemy attack that lands will award you with 3 mana

Mage Mana Model:

• Classes with this mana model regain some multiplicative amount of the ratio between your skill damage and your total health. This can be most easily observed in PvP, where a PvP amulet will cause some caster classes to suffer from mana issues. Exact formula unknown.

Rogue Mana Model:

• Classes with this model regain 3 mana on non crits and 5 mana on every crit (only applies to auto attacks)
• They also regain 9 mana each time you successfully dodge an enemy attack (enemy misses do not count), as well as regaining 2% of your total health per dodge (including END)

Temporal Rift Model:

• Classes with this model regain 3 mana per non crit and 9 mana per crit whilst the 'temporal Rift' aura is active (only applies to auto attacks)

Deathknight Model:

• Classes with this model gain a fixed 2 mana from all sources of damage, including DoTs.

Ninja Model:

• Classes with this model gain 82 mana upon initiating combat, regardless of whether your attacks miss or get evaded. They also regain 1 mana per non crit and 2 mana on crits (only applies to auto attacks).

Zeal Model:

• Classes with this model regain mana in the same way the Warrior model does whilst the 'Zeal' aura is active.

None:

• These are simply classes with no mana model. It usually follows that their skills consume no mana or skill related mana gimmicks as a consequence.
