I noticed, shortly after mana display was fixed, that there is a discrepancy between the mana pool that ShowEQ shows and that which Magelo shows. I am not 100% certain of this but I am pretty sure that their formula for calculating mana per int/wis over 255 is wrong.
Magelo's mana formula (level 65 int caster) at 255 int is more or less dead on(variation of 2 mana points). However, as the caster's int rises beyond 255 the difference between magelo and seq increases at linear rate, with seq showing a difference of approximately +1 mana per int over 255. For example, 305 int (255 + 50) the difference is +54 mana and at 330 int, the difference was +84 mana. The +4 mana could be accounted to rounding error, magelo's formula error or who knows what else. It was not always +4 mana either(see my chart at the end).
This is mostly just an annoyance to me because I broke the 5k mark on my mana pool but stinkin magelo won't say that i have :D Anywho, here's the numbers that I got:
Difference between Magelo and SEQ mana report at selected int amounts with difference between that int and 255 in parentheses for easy comparison:
255 - 2 (0)
275 - 19 (20)
285 - 33 (30)
295 - 40 (40)
305 - 54 (50)
320 - 75 (65)
330 - 84 (75)
345 - 95 (90)
350 - 104 (95)
355 - 103 (100)
In case anyone was wondering about how much mana is recieved per int past 255, I made the following calculations. As I removed gear, I accounted for the amount of mana on the item (yes the mana shown on the item is exactly what you receive; there is no diminishing return, at least in the 5k mana range). I only had enough data to make 4 comparisons.
Mana per int lost from removing a piece of gear
From int To Int Mana per int lost
342 330 6.1
330 320 5.6
320 305 6.5
305 295 6.4
I wouldn't bet the farm on these numbers, I am quite tired and could have easily made a mistake. Please give feedback on this info and feel welcome to contribute your own results.
EDIT - Got PP5 so I added the difference at 355 int.
