Passive Mana Regen?

Hey all,

I have been looking at this talent again recently having always dismissed in the past as it was broken and not only that but a complete waste of time regardless.

But having looked again at the text i am wondering if i have interpreted it correctly.

The talent states there are 2 effects
a mana regen bonus for 10 seconds after a killing a mob of either 50 percent or 100 percent depending on the points invested.
(should work like a shard collection but is broken and on the to do list for fixing.. still lol.)

It then says in addition your mana may continue to regenerate at 50 percent of normal while casting.

Now the second effect, is that only for this 10 second period after delivering a kill shot, OR is this a permenant passive effect?

If its the latter then not only is it worth having but i would assume that 2 points invested would mean you would retain your full normal regen bonus from spirit even while casting spells.
(The first point having given you 50pct)

Please post a reply if you can provide further information on this subject, preferably based on personal experience ;)

Nope, still doesn't work. Seems they forgot all about this spell with the release of the new patch too. IMO the whole drain soul spell is not worth upgrading from lvl 1, because it is the DOTs that are doing the kill and this is just aharvesting tool.

Not only does it need to get the winning hit to come into effect, but we're WARLOCKS. We don't need mana regen because we can turn health into mana. The points you can waste on this talent can be spent on your improved healthstone in the demonology tree...

what it forgets to mention is that the drain soul HAS to get the killing hit for you to get the buff, not you, not the group, the DRAIN SOUL. if it doesnt get the killing hit, no buff for you. this currently makes this talent worthless, and i quickly retrained after figuring it out.(how often does one of your dots actualy get the killing hit? especially in groups, or other dots on the mob?) put these 2 points into improved curse of weakness or improved lifetap, both very helpfull and they WORK LIKE THEY SAY.
