Talk:Mana Booster

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

I removed the outdated spell recast times I posted on this talk page, as not to confuse anybody. The mana booster's potency has changed several times over the course of patches. --Nateypoo 11:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Ran into a problem Stormwalker head and body. Mana Booster, loudspeaker 2, Scanner and the puppet will not cast at all while under Ice Maneuver. Was 75RDM/20PUP and skilling magic. After further testing it looked like it was a problem between the scanner and the target and the Mana Booster, target was a Veteran Quadav and fight had been going for 10 minutes at the time. --Elfi Wolfe 00:36, 1 November 2007 (UTC) Further testing found it to be the Scanner, the level of the mob and the Ice maneuver. The Ice Maneuver told the head to nuke, but the scanner says "I can't hurt this mob."

The mana booster has nothing to do with spell AI. (Unless the puppet's recast timer is faster than the spell's individual timer, in which case it is not ready for use yet.) You're right about the scanner, that's a known problem with it. It often stops the puppet from casting spells entirely. It's mostly useful for preventing poor enfeebling choices, with soulsoother or harlequin. --Nateypoo 11:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
