Mana Flare III

[windariah]

I was playing around in the frog cave in PoS tonight and was having issues with my Mana Flare dropping. With my mages AA it should last about 7 1/2 mins, but most cases it would drop within the first minute. I have had issues with this in the past, but it has been quite some time.

Here is the info from the clone.

I just had my mage in the cave with a cleric bot. There was another character in the group but they were not in the cave with me. I was just running with Sunes buffs, and my self buffs for the pet. Any suggestions about what may have been causing this would be great.

Mana Flare will drop if you get hit too many times. Took me awhile to figure this out too

Yeah, but I wasnt AEing or anything. I could literally kill maybe 3 frogs before it would drop and with the 2.0 pet I didnt have to nuke much... once or twice a mob depending on which nuke. I can AE some pretty big pulls in LdoNs and other zones without it dropping. It certainly should last more then 6 or 10 nukes.

Edit --- Sorry I misread that. I was letting the pet tank, so I wasnt taking much damage, but with the way the frogs are packed in there... maybe. I'll have to try it to see if that was the trigger, I really dont recall.

The orbs fade away.

I cried.
