fun times great oldies.
so much hate.
anyway, after a little research and some napkin math. if you were to pick up 3/5 Divine Int (6% total int buff) and if your raid provided all additional int buffs, you would gain somewhere about 340something mana to your maximum pool. now then if you take the mana returned numbers from each ability/effect (DP, AT [B-elf only] and replenishment) in the end the difference in mana gained for the boss encounter (6% int talent vs not talented) would range somewhere between 2000 to 2500, depending on the duration of the encounter of course. Now i do see that if you play alliance this number would be muchhhhhh lower, being that you do not have Arcane Torrent.
now, if mana does end up being an issue in 3.2, does 2000-2500 more mana each encounter not sound appealing? for Blood Elves at least?
now these numbers are based on my napkin math and the posted information about buffs, mana cost, etc bewteen Wowwiki and Wowhead
if someone wants to type all the math up that would be fantastic, if not, oh well.
as for armory, here have a look at my poorly itemized gear set...
