Why have such high mana cost for Redemption?

[Rodeanen]

Maybe I am confused...

64% base mana cost to raise a dead player? Why oh why. that means in a raid we need to drick after resing each person! I can see why it would be high if we could res while in combat, but since it is not, it will only result in slowing down recovering after a wipe.

Why not make it 0 mana if you can only do it out of combat. and just give it a longer cast time?

Please tell me that I am wrong and read the description wrong or something.

Base mana, not total mana.

[Rodeanen]

so, like the mana you would have if you had no clothes on?

well, that makes more sense, but it still seems like a lot of mana for something that can't be used in combat

Base mana is the mana you have without any intellect gear on, yeah. So 64% of that, I imagine around 1k mana for a Paladin with 14k mana. I failed maths, so that's just a rough guess. :P But it doesn't seem too high to me in any case.

2953 (base mana for a Paladin) / 100 * 64% = 1900 mana.

Shamans already pay 2400 mana or so for their Ress right now. What are you complaining about?

[Dulba]

If you wipe then you should all be running back any ways.

2953 (base mana for a Paladin) / 100 * 64% = 1900 mana.

that would be 19 mana.
doh.

and, to do the math correct, it's 1890 mana.
1889.92 to be correct.

[Rawberry]

As an addition to my math we should remember that, because of the extra 10 levels gained in WOTLK our base mana will increase somewhat.

[xebtria]

yo, and not only pala's basemana is going to grow up a little.
I think.
