MP5 (also known as MP/5) is a shortened term for the attribute that is itemized as "Restores X mana per 5 sec." or "Mana per 5 seconds".

Sources

MP5 can be found in Classic, where it is primarily itemized on gear. It is also provided by player casted buffs and totems, and certain consumables.

Though removed from the live game, MP5 can still be obtained from the [Well Fed] buff provided by certain low level food items (such as  [Sagefish Delight]), though the amount provided is trivial.

Notes

  • Although the number given is based on 5 second intervals, the effect triggers every 2 seconds. For example, an item that grants 10 mana per 5 sec. restores 4 mana every tick.
  • MP5 is distinct from Spirit in that it ignores the five second rule, restoring the same amount of mana regardless of whether the player is casting.
    • Consequently, MP5 is not affected by any ability that "allows X% of your mana regeneration to continue while casting."
  • To accommodate MP5's removal in Cataclysm, all healer specializations received [Meditation] as a passive ability, while caster dps had their active and passive mana regeneration rebalanced appropriately to no longer need nor benefit from a mana regen stat. MP5 was still present on certain redesigned player buffs throughout the expansion, though these have been removed since.

Patch changes

  • Cata-Logo-Small.png Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Removed from all items. In most cases, it was replaced with Spirit.
  • Wrath-Logo-Small.png Patch 3.2.0 (2009-08-04): All items that provide "X mana per five seconds" have had the amount of mana they regenerate increased by approximately 25%.
