One of the General's abilities is:
* Aura of Despair (Prevents mana regeneration from nearly all natural sources. Aspect of the Viper, Judgements of the Wise, Shamanistic Rage, and Spiritual Attunement remain at least partially effective.) is active throughout the whole fight, the only "normal" way to regain mana is to use potions. You can also destroy the crystals flying in the room, they will drop a green cloud on the ground and will restore your mana, they will also damage you for an equal amount of health points (1000 Mana regen = 1000 Damage), this buff stacks and will regen more and more mana (and deal more damage as well) over time. The hard mode version of the encounter require you to not use these clouds
Will this effect Life Tap? Lock spells are expensive, which is why we have Life Tap. Without it we go OOM very quick. If we want to do Hard Modes we'll have to stay away from the clouds. I hardly call this fair if it prevents a lock from being able to LT.
Was just curious if we'll be able to LT against him or not.
