Wraith Form

Wraith form no longer leeches mana. At least it isn't leaching mana from wither. Makes the sound like it is, but it's not giving my mana back.

What are you attacking and how much damage are you doing? Maybe whatever your attacking does not have enough mana to leech or something. I tested it with slimes and it works fine.

Was doing a rikktor spawn and the only thing that gave any mana back was rikktor.

Thats odd. I can't seem to reproduce it. Anyone else having issues? Maybe its isolated to a specific situation/setup or something.

Hex said he wasn't leeching from Almincrus tonight.

Almincrus will hardly take damage from cold, he has high resist. Also wither does not work very well on a single target. 10+ targets will give more damage output.

yup, mana leech is broken in wraith form. Tried to kill a rotting corpse and ran out of mana fast. My spells were doing triple digit damage and I was not getting any mana back.

Thank you. Hardly anyone plays a necro mage so it's hard to get support.

Wraith form works fine for me. I have been doing demitels and peerless the past week with my necro mage and have had no problems with wraith form.

it sounds like a weird problem. I withered some slimes and rats and it seemed to work. But when I did exp+fs to a corpseskinned rotter, I got no mana leech effect.

and on a side note, the macro I use is exp+fs+evil omen+painspike. About half the time I only see 2 damage numbers come up over a monster's head. It should be 3 numbers, even though the painspike would be a small amount of damage sometimes.

Remember with wither your leeching so much more mana as your hitting more then one target, so its enough to make up for the cost. But a single target attack wont necessarily give you full mana, it may just reduce the cost. Though with enough lmc and slayer/sdi you may be able to get close enough to it costing next to nothing.

vs an RC (low fire) that is also corpse skined, FS + Omen should be leeching far more mana than it costs. I haven't PvMd much lately so I can't confirm this bug, but something sounds fishy.

there is a big difference from a week or so ago. I could do that combo all day long on those monsters before. Now I run out of mana before I even get one RC killed.

If a monster doesnt have mana, you dont leech anything right?

Yeah, but thats kind of going to change. We decided to not make leeches actually leech. Sounds weird, but it has its issues and OSI does not have that (thought it did though) and probably for a reason. So mobs will pretty much always have mana now unless its like a mongbat but it will die anyway within first hit lol.
