The plugins work well- running CWTN on all of team. I have notice that both the beast and sk seem to run out of mana quickly and require medding ( note team is lvl 55). All this might be related to armor. However, change up the dynamics last night and pull with bard and tanked with SK . The mana drain was not nearly as quickly. Their armor is all drops except for Fungi Tunics on a few of them. Note maybe all growing pains which I forgot about.
 
If this is an actual question about the ability "mana burn" it needs to be in mq2wiz.

If this is just general commentary, I don't know what to tell you other than yah get gear, find some buffs (early eq is much more reliant on extra buffs like clarity) and adjust your settings if you need to
 
My question was poorly worded. Running sk,bst,zerker, shaman, bard, and rogue. I have noticed in the last couple of weeks both the SK and particularly the BST run low on mana after a few mobs. Is this expected on low end characters?

Yep. Pretty much. Make sure to go and get clarity from someone in town whenever you can.

You can adjust your settings for various things to help as I mentioned. Make sure you read each class's FAQ and familiarize yourself with the options

Mana has been an issue on every similar group I've leveled. The melee is typically strong enough to kill quickly still if you turn off dots on SK and Bst. I also turn off taps on the SK unless the shaman is struggling to keep the heals up or the SK can't keep agro.

100%, what i'd suggest is what i said - familiarize yourself with the options so you can make adjustments rather than a "guess i'll just cut my arm off" approach.

sk you can lower their lifetap at value so you don't use lifetap as your normal rotation unless you're below a health threshold. your bst you can adjust your dotmanamin (minimum mana to use dots) and dothp/dothpnamed (the health value at which to stop using dots on a mob so you dot re-up at too low of a health threshold to get the value from it you want).
 
Don’t forget clarity comes in potions now if you can’t find a friendly neighborhood enchanter!
 
The Plugins are the truth. You should try the level appropriate armor it has mana and health regen until your AA start kicking in. You're just having growing pains bud.
 
Yeah, have not played this level of characters for years. I was thinking the CWTN plugins being out of the box would read my mind and make these adjustments.

we don't neuter you, you'll have to decide that for yourself.

because "you are going to use your abilities to fight the mobs you're fighting". we aren't going to be like "nah go gentle on these mobs because this dude's characters suck" - because you'll die.
