Mentalist is generally in a good spot in classic with Enchanters being the primary MAs, their kit as demezzers and semi-support features is strong. By giving Enchanters access to the other end of the debuff spectrum, more combinations within the realm open up and it is important to consider the Mentalist within this new environment. Additionally, the Mana line has always been an underperformer in endgame RvR, because of these two reasons, we are making some changes there.
