Changes

[[Image:Mana-orb1.jpg|thumb|250px|Mana globes and a level up.]]'''Mana Globes''' are were orbs of magical energy that function functioned much like [[Health Globe]]s; they restore restored mana (25% of the maximum was the listed amountas a default, though some character skills were designed to boost this total) when a character runs through picked themup. As you might expect, they look looked just like health globes, but are were blue, instead of red.

'''In the latest [[GamesCom 2009 demo|Diablo build]] ==How They Dropped==When mana globes were a feature, they only dropped when a Witch Doctor or Wizard was in August 2009, the Mana Globes were taken out of the game. At that time Wizards used mana for their resource, replacing them with and had a (since removed) skill called [[WizardMana Recovery]] skill which gave a % chance for a dead monster to drop a mana globe. Mana globes did not benefit Barbarians, since they did not provide any boost to gain their [[manaFury]] as well as [[healthresource pool|resource]] through Health Globes.'''Monks and Demon Hunters were not in the game at that time.

==How they DropRemoval Explanation==No mana globes were seen during the BlizzCon 2008 demo play, and they are only mentioned in the description of the [[Arcane_Skill_Tree#Mana_Recovery|Mana Recovery spell]]. The only thing we know for sure is that they dropped for [[Wizard]]s, with skills in [[Mana Recovery]]. It's not known if they ever drop when a Wizard with points in that skill isn't around.

==Speculation==From one perspective it seems likely Giving health orbs that Mana Globes only drop when a double purpose also made the health orbs more valuable to all characters. [[WizardJay Wilson]] is around, and considering the loot system it would only be visible for the Wizardsaid[http://diablo.incgamers. [[Health Globecom/blog/comments/jay-wilson-exclusive-full-transcript/]]s work completely opposite of thatprior to the change, dropping Witch Doctors often had no use for all players and usable by allhealth orbs, healing all in the vicinitysince they weren't taking much damage while staying behind their tanking pets. ItPost-mana globes, Witch Doctors need regular health orbs, since even if they aren's also possible that the Mana Globe functionality is similar to that of t low on hit points, they generally want the Health Globemana boost.
