Ways To Get Mana Fast In Combat?

Hello,
I recently betrayed my Defiler to a Mystic and have noticed the lack of manataps that don't have a 6min recast. This leads me to ask:
How can I get Mana fast in the middle of combat?
I do have some overclocked manastones but the recast is around 5 minutes. I need mana almost every fight and don't want to have to keep taking breaks to regen Mana.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I wish I knew to tell you Nazy because you've given so many great answers to me.

I did look this up & found this video. I hope maybe it addresses the problem of getting more mana while fighting. IDK I had EQ2 running along with this in the background & I couldn't hear it that well so hopefully it might help.

Whoa it that URL link came out as a buncha videos. Well I hope that maybe an answer to the mana replenishing question while fighting is in there somewhere.

If your not on a TLE server, hire a Conj merc, will keep you topped off np..havent played witha troub merc and dont know if they can do for ya what the Conj can, also if you can get one there are some of the coercer mercs you can get from crates.

I use overclocked manastones, icy dragon essence and power potions all of which have cool downs and used more for an oh **** situation but all of them are massively outclassed by my coercer merc, Walkyria Edda, who generously refills group mana from empty to full every 20 seconds. Heroics would be impossible for my group me without her.

Conj mercenary? Conjurer? Did not know there was such a beast.

He means the mindblaster, coercer merc. It just follows you around doing nothing except manaflow. Very useful. It's $ though.

My mind blaster coercer merc is great! Sometimes in heroics if we don't have or cannot find a powerfeed, we will use the coercer merc. As stated previously, they really don't do much but run breeze and mana flow whenever it is up. Of course these days in standard heroics we usually blow up the zone before mana is an issue, but I digress! If you are soloing a lot and consistently have power drains, the coercer merc is a must have.

Another option is to unlock the "account wide" level 101 manastone by doing Stilettos Orders Heritage Quest on TLE. Myself and a partner just recently did this, took a couple days to level to 35ish which was high enough for us to duo the heritage quest. There is a long cool down but now we have a manastone that actually gives us 15% which is enough to cast bulwark or whatever when needed.

Thanks for all the replies!
I only have two questions so far: Is there another Merc besides the mindblaster one that power feeds? And do you have to pay real money for the mindblaster Coercer Merc?

At max level, my defiler can pretty much keep himself supplied with power for solos. Heroics & raids though, you just need a power feed character with you. (i.e. Illy, Coerver, Troub etc..)

You have 2 self power feeds. I also keep potions and overclocked mana stones for those uhoh moments.

Since he betrayed to mystic, does he still have those two power feeds?

All the coercer mercenaries are Marketplace-only, except for the one folks got from attending SOE Live in 2013.

I don't think I've ever seen an Illusionist mercenary.

Unfortunately, no. And Oberon and Torpor eat mana really fast. The only mana feed I have has a 6 min recast.

There aren't any Illy Mercs. I checked.

Would the troub mercs help with mana?

Thought Nazy was a Defiler? Mystics have a better powerfeed...though with a 5 min cooldown. Haven't played my mystic since ToV, so I can't really comment on end game abilities.

The problem is that I need mana every second fight. If it takes around 1min to kill 3 linked yellows and takes 1 bar of Mana, I'm in trouble because they aren't draining my mana so in fights with mana drains I'm useless.

I don't want to run the betrayal back to Defiler because I like being able to cast my group ward on the run and melee. But I miss Defiler's faster casting and manataps.

Nazy, I overlooked a basic step. What are you using for food and drink? You need to be drinking good quality crafted drink, for instance \aITEM -702965800 -390936950 0 0 0:[Shrieking Tonic]\/a etc.

I have level 100 food and drink that has very good stats coming soon. Someone needs to trade it to me still. That might help a bit.

When I was a Mystic I carried and hot bared every mana potion made, even lower level ones. I also have the updated mana stone and used that too. I used mana drinks and totems, etc. whatever would give a mana boost and didn't share a timer with other items.By the time I hit 110 I no longer needed any of them. Ethereal Ascension boosts were all that was needed.

Mindblasters cost money, for one in game you can hire is the Conjuror I was talkin about he is also called an Elementalist, he uses Conjy spells and tho it doesnt show on any of the spells he has, he restores power as well.
His name is Bordis Glacierbane loc 90.90, 152.52, -172.79 in New Halas

I'll check him out! Thanks!

I'll look at potions too, thanks!
