What is Mana Regen (WoW)?

Definition & Purpose

• Mana Restoration: “Regen” typically refers to the gradual replenishment of mana over time.
• Combat vs. Out‐of‐Combat: Mana regen is drastically reduced (or governed by specific mechanics) while in combat.

Five Second Rule

• Definition: Mana provided by Spirit begins five seconds after your last spellcast.
• Efficiency Play: Stop casting briefly if you can to allow Spirit‐based mana regen to kick in, known as “downranking” or “weaving” lower‐cost spells.
