I'm new to this board so I'm not sure how many of you play World of Warcraft, but for those who do, I have a questions about the mage changes coming in the next expansion. Many of the abilities have been changed to a percentage of base mana instead of a set number of mana. There seems to be some debate over what BASE mana means. Is it your mana without gear and buffs (just your toon at lvl 80) or is it your mana just without buffs. I believe it is the first but noone has confirmed this as of yet.
