PoE 3.24: The Dreamer Notable Passive Skill no longer has 20% increased maximum Mana. It now has 30% increased Mana Regeneration Rate (previously 15%).
Here's a breakdown of the current Dreamer notable passive:
Dreamer Notable Passive Skill:
Increased Mana Removed: You've correctly identified that Dreamer no longer grants increased maximum mana. This is a significant change from previous versions.
Boosted Mana Regen: Dreamer now offers a more substantial 30% increased mana regeneration rate, compared to the previous 15%.
Reduced Mana Cost: It still provides a valuable 10% reduced mana cost of skills.
Anointment Recipe:
Unconfirmed Anointment: You're also spot on about the anointment recipe. While some older resources might list a recipe for Dreamer, there currently isn't a confirmed anointment recipe for this specific passive in Path of Exile.
Impact of the Changes:
The removal of increased maximum mana makes Dreamer less attractive for builds solely focused on maximizing their mana pool. However, the increased mana regeneration makes it a stronger option for characters struggling with mana sustain.
Who benefits from the new Dreamer?
Casters with Mana Drain: Builds that heavily utilize skills with high mana costs can benefit from the faster mana regeneration to maintain their ability usage.
Builds Lacking Mana Regen: Characters struggling to find sufficient mana regeneration elsewhere on the passive tree or through gear can leverage Dreamer for improved sustain.
Alternative Options:
If your build prioritizes a large mana pool or doesn't heavily rely on mana regeneration, here are some alternatives:
Forethought (if unchanged): This notable passive offers a significant increase to maximum mana, which might be more valuable for builds needing a larger mana pool.
Mana Regeneration Mastery: Depending on your passive tree path, there might be Mastery options that provide increased mana regeneration specific to that area.
Gear with Mana Regen: Look for items with mana regeneration mods on your amulet, rings, or belt to improve your mana sustain.
I hope this revised information on the Dreamer notable passive skill is helpful!
