with or without the spell crit AAs? and uh. were you full power when you used it? was it on a raid? did you have a ranger there to debuff Fire with the dispatch?

is mana burn a 1 point skill or can you put multiple ranks into it? if so how many ranks did you have of it.

It's 5 points of damage per point of power and only 1 rank. There was a ranger there but am unsure of the heat debuff and I was at full power when i used it. And it wasn't a crit as from my knowledge and testing last week, freehand and catalyst didn't effect manaburn at all.

Debuffs do not affect manaburn, nor does crits or any % bonus to damage. It is a flat 5 points per point of power that is not affected by anything but your current power pool.

ok, so maybe i'm not understanding something with manaburn, the only time you're gonna get the huge hit is when you're at full power.. what about the power you use during the actual fight, what would be left to use on manaburn..or do you just not dps and stand around and wait for an opportunity to use it.. also wouldn't you do just as much damage with cat/freehand, along with fusion and IN and then some? sorry if i'm derailing the OP.

That's exactly why manaburn sucks.

^^^^^^^ Indeed. Manaburn looks like something I'm gonna have fun playing with for the one week i mess around before spec'n a real raid viable build.
