100k mana for lvl 85 seems kind of low though. Fully raid buffed my pally sits between 128k-135k depending on the gear I use for the fight and our disc priest sits between 140-145. That number is only gonna go up with tier 13 and heroic gear. I would assume each class will have a different pool size also. Really they could make the pool sizes at lvl 90 whatever they wanted if they balanced the mana cost of spells around it.

They said that if necessary, they'd buff spirit to make up for the lost mana so healers wouldn't feel nerfed.

These numbers the blues are citing make me wonder about that item squish, though. Are they putting it off until the next expansion?

@Dan
They haven't actually said that they will be squishing. It was merely one of two possible options that they were discussing.

You can't put something off before deciding on it.

Of course they're putting it off. It's made pretty obvious in the original post that the other solution would only be temporary, otherwise what happens in xpac 6 when people start critting for 200000 mega damage? Convert it to über damage and hope our PCs can keep up with doing math on 12-digit numbers?

Xpac 12: Your fireball critted Swamplight Murloc for 50 über cyborg damage of l33tness.

Item squishing needs to happen eventually. The only thing that's up in the air is whether it'll happen in MoP.

I realize they haven't decided. I was merely thinking out loud =)
