Like Dictate I hardly ever have to worry about power management except for the annoying power drain encounters and or deaths. If I ever cast manaflow it is to slam my own power back up to 100.

With Mind's Eye and Breeze (some roman numeral here) at M1 and your mythical power management shouldn't be an issue.

sorry to drop in on this channel but i have a raid coercer and i was having similar problems befor my mythical. One thing that im not sure anyone has brought up is your epic proc. If i remember correctly its the same as the mythical one except it reduces cost of spell by 10% instead of the 20% on the mythical. I dont know how your casting is but i found that the more i cast the better off the group was for power. I myself never really had any issues so i tried my best to cast as much as possible so i was giving the group a consistant 10% decrease in their power cost. so if your just standing there only casting power stuff that may be part of it.

To answer the op (Concussed) - you'll obviously notice power maintainance to your own group a lot easier once you upgrade from the fabled weapon to your mythical. Until then just try and keep manaflow part of your regular casting order, make sure your group do all that they can to make your job easier by asking the Conj for shards (when in a raid), and using them but hurry up and get your mythical!!

Even with your mythical weapon you should really keep manaflow part of your regular casting order raidwide and make sure the spell is always active particularly during really power intensive encounters.

As far as your own pow goes, you should obtain several mana proc items though. With high cast haste you can really burn through your own pow. Having yours high is helpful for when you hit Channel II to boost the group back up.

Once you have mythical your pow becomes basically unlimited, and so you won't really need as much. Prior to that and it's easy to have self pow problems, much less group pow problems.

Another thing to have your healers look into getting is the Potion of Marr from the Hand of Marr quests in Bloodline Chronicles.

Potion of Marr - EQ2i, the EverQuest 2 Wiki - Quests, guides, mobs, npcs, and more

Returns 570 power, per use, has five uses, costs a few silver, and on a 1 minute recast.

Don't under estimate cannibalize thoughts. One thing you can never do is manage someone's power who is inefficient with their mana use to start with. Also, it is everyone's job to bring their own mana gen items for when they're in a pinch. It's not an excuse to not be self sufficient just because you have a coercer in the group.

Channel is excellent, but because of the CD I use it as a last resort and for emergencies.

Undergeared players for the content being attempted can be a factor too as people with smaller mana pools try to take on longer or more mana dependant fights.

I hope I didn't just state the obvious.

Power management is like aggro management. There's only so much the tank can do and then its up to the rest of the raid to do whats right.

You seem to be doing all the right things. Cast Flow and Cannibalize Thoughts when you can and keep Breeze and Minds Eye going. Thats about all you can do. The rest is up to the individual. They will have to learn how much power you can feed them and how to manage the rest.

There's plenty of good suggestions for items that help with power but I don't think people mentioned
- Manastone from Stilettos Orders HQ
- crafted potions
- symbols and relics

I know what you're Talking about, Ogre lift guy in WoE is a very extended fight, where mostly the MT and the scouts can get into power troubles if they are not properly geared. Personally i like the soulsiphon proc's on gear, aswell as that some scouts should get the phantom handle i think it is (gives power)?, aside of this adornament for the clases running outa power themselves, i cannot give any other comments than kudo's, since ur doing what ur suposta be doing.

If there's a fury or other healer running outa power ... tell em to stop nuking

i think i hit close to mana reg cap without any managear already ( i picked 1xmana reg and 1x max health from the personal sheet ot whatever its called)

i was wondering what the managain cap is exactly anyways but it seems to be around 650? i have more or less 650 reg dont remember exactly but i noticed when i put on bangle of portals (+8man/tick) i only gain about +4/tick

i dont waer mana regen gear or mana proc gear. mythicalis enough so far. but power regen isnt the best choice powerprocs ar even more powerfull, even with mythical in fights over 10 minutes it can be hard to hold the mana in your group if noone wears something like powerproc belts.
if you have a mystik in your mt setup, there shouldnt be a problem without the proc gear.reuse of the mystik clickie is short enough to compansate the powerproblems.
