Only really helpful for titan and Dreanei.

have you been eating nails? repairing makes your wall last like 30% longer dran should not be punished for not being able to see the mana count.

Draenei walls have very low hp, and since you cannot repair mana (with your builder), repairing them is virtually useless. As you know, the reason why the wall appears to die so fast is because the mana goes to 0/mana shield is gone. So you may be able to keep the hp at 50 instead of 25 when the mana drops off, but the titan is still going to 1/2 hit it after the fact. Best to have someone else wall at mid, and get like 3 people repairing one upged wall.

did u ever use in a base shelters to mana your walls?
looks like not
yes, it seems like they missed the point of draenei.
if you keep giving mana to your walls, their hp will run out before the mana, thus you hav to repair them to keep them from breaking, hope this clears it up coaster_man.

I only use shelters to heal the walls/towers in my base. I rarely use them to heal the walls at mid because it's too much of a hassle to make and destroy constantly, seeing how they lose their mana very quickly. A shelter has a max mana of what, 200? And initial mana of 100? I'm not sure on the numbers but you get my point. Best to get someone else to make walls and pay attention to the mana. It's not that hard.

Making them at mid sounds dumb

If you want to see mana bars and you're on a PC, just use the link provided up in the thread to the tool that let's you see them?

I'll check later today to see if it works with WINE.

Repairing drae walls is useless: you can only repair 0.5 hp per sec iirc.

Okay, so we have so far come to the realizations that:
  • Draenei walls are mana based.
  • You must have them selected to see their mana.
  • The Mana Bar would be for Titan.
  • Implementing Mana Bars would be extremely resource intensive.

Solution: Walls turn red when they have no mana, or under 10/20/30 mana.

What do you guys think?

Walls should be tinted blue, and the slowly tint blackish when they lose mana.
