Base Mana Regen Suggestion

[Mallar]

@Elgareth

Don’t you think that the good dps would become OP if you could just spam this expensive spell? Think of high mana costs like a bootleg cooldown, just more elegant, flexible, and less intrusive.
In other words: Would you have the same Problem if Volcanic Orb just had a 1 second cooldown after each cast? In the end, you’d have a 3 second downtime per 3 volcanic blasts as well, so your mana Regeneration would be enough either way, at which Point the mana cost of the orb don’t really matter and could be 30, you’d be able to permacast volcanic orb either way.
But the “no cooldown but high mana” way allows you to Alphaburst any particulary nasty mob right away, or wait a bit longer after the first orb to cast 3 in a row shortly after. Things you couldn’t do with a cooldown, but also maintaining the Balance that strong spells can’t just be spammed in the endgame, Rendering cheaper spells irrelevant.

Volcanic orb has has a 4 second cooldown even with the max node for increased cooldown recovery + additional global cooldown recovery you cannot get it below 0.7, 0.8 cooldown so basically it cannot be spammed.

In addition sorcerer damage is not at such a good spot to become OP IMO. I am now lvl 76 playing the frozen orb(cold) - volcanic orb build and still feels like damage is just fine, itemization is very poor. No much uniques to support sorcerer builds(except ignite/fire builds). So at this stage implementing a way to increase base mana regen will not be OP in any way with the volcanic orb build especially . On the contrary it may actually improve the sorcerer gameplay and not force you nearly always to skill focus in order to maintain your mana.
