Mp5 vs. Spirit

[solvogero]

All the Spirit vs. Mp5 info on wowwiki confused the crap out of me so I just thought I'd test it out myself. We have one Mp5 food which is Smoked Sagefish. Our two best +Spirit foods are Tasty Lion Steak and Heavy Crocolisk Stew (Horde only). Keep in mind the character screen rounds to whole numbers.



Out of combat:

+4 Mp5 food gives you +4 Mp5 regen

+2 Spirit food gives you +1 Mp5 regen

+4 Spirit food gives you +2 Mp5 regen

+6 Spirit food gives you +2 Mp5 regen

+8 Spirit food gives you +3 Mp5 regen



In combat:

+4 Mp5 food gives you +4 Mp5 regen

None of the Spirit food available gives you any noticeable increase to in-combat mana regen.

718 mana in 3 mins 23 seconds with 4 spirit (3.54 mana per second)

737 mana in 3 mins 29 seconds with 6 spirit (3.53 mana per second)

i think its pretty accurate...keep in mind that you only get like 10% of your spirit regen during combat...and there's only a 2 spirit difference between the 2. i'll restest 4 & 6 spirit when i farm the 8 spirit food...but i don't think the additional spirit makes any significant difference in combat.

not very useful really as its not that big of a difference...maybe marginally to those that aren't spec'd or geared to heal...and then only for PvE...and then if you're on an express run that frowns on downtime to drink...and even then barely.



but hey, i was curious.

He means that, according to your data, 4 spirit > 6 spirit

pretty accurate as in --> there's no significant difference.
