Its more like if you have 2k spirit for the duration of mana tide totem you will have 6k (its 200% up)

[Zireael]

The heal less cost more upgrade happened to every heal class. I guess, they try to reduce "normal heal" spam which - according to beta videos - healers do now.

I can't wait to test out these changes for Enhancement, this should give us a very nice dps increase.

[Entalpia]

Which basicly should happen so it's not such a change.. right. or. what.. or it will affect right after 4.0.. it's just change of WF rank 8.. any ideas ?

They are talking about Resto Shaman mana not Enh

[Teslatroll]

Uhm...Are people mistaking the Mana Tide for the Mana Spring totem?

Some of these posts just sound quite confused on the matter. For clearance, the mana tide is the one that currently restores 6% max mana, every second for 6 seconds.

[bladebeso]

exactly my thoughts .. this new build just told us wht our 85 ranks look like .. they r throwing us a bone
