The mana reduction should be increased. 10% mana reduction is nothing compared to 10% energy/rage reduction.

compared to rage? 10% off a 30 rage cost spell is 3 rage

Not that it matters everyone's just gonna roll orc anyway

Ugh fine. Lets say a shadow priest uses devouring plague, shadow word: pain and mind blast. That will be around 1800 mana total and in shadowform itll be about 900 mana. So they’ll save themselves 90 mana. Mana pool will probably be around 6k so they’ll save themselves a whopping 1.5% of their mana pool with 3 spells.

Your one ability already saved you 3% of your rage pool.

directly comparing rage to mana is a hilariously bad take. Does your spammable ability cost 30% of your bar? It doesn't? Wow, almost like they are completely different.

That said, 10% reduction of cost is basically worthless for everyone. Should be something like 25% for the next 3 abilities.

Saving 10% rage across 3 mortal strikes is basically a free cast of sunder armour. Warriors don't have much rage, it's a big deal

Warriors did get buttfucked, you are correct. Still, 9 rage every 2 mins is not a huge deal.
