Hello,
I was wondering what is the most commenly used power sources for mages.
I usually use Light Orbs but have been thinking of useing ehteral one due to the larger mana gain.
Any suggestion and comment would be appericiated.

Yup mostly ethereal. I carry a light one on me I switch to when doing VoA T1 raid. In the past I've used shadow, but no one makes them anymore.

I use light. I carry around ethereal. With all the AEs and other stuff going on during raids I find 2500 hp have more value then the 800 mana gained by ethereal. If no AE issues or group game, ethereal probably doesnt hurt. 800 is such a small portion of our mana pools now though, so I tend to just stick with light full time.

Hehe, just happened across this and realized I never did answer the question.Voragath wrote:Why shadow?Sillaen wrote:Yup mostly ethereal. I carry a light one on me I switch to when doing VoA T1 raid. In the past I've used shadow, but no one makes them anymore.
I used shadow for the 1 - 1 HP to mana conversion (-1200 for 1200) as opposed to ethereal of giving up more HPs than mana gained. The only drawback was a -120 hit to STR/STA but those stats were so far over cap it didn't make any difference to lose those.
But as I said before, no one makes shadow anymore.
