U4GM Tips Fixing the PoE 2 Mana Flask Bug After Death

[Hartmann846]

You know the feeling when your build looks perfect on paper, then you step into a map and it suddenly plays like you forgot half your gear? That's what made the Bars4400 clip sting. He's staring at the character sheet, watching mana regen sit at a miserable 51 per second, and you can almost hear the gears grinding. On a wander setup, that number isn't "a bit low," it's a shutdown. No sustained attacks, no steady leech, just that awkward stop-start until you're face-down. And when you're planning your farming around PoE 2 Currency routes, a stat bug like that can turn a clean run into a mess fast.



Why It Feels So Brutal
The part that gets people is he wasn't guessing. He knew the target: about 115 mana regen per second. That's not a small mismatch, it's basically half your engine missing. You can feel it right away if you play anything that fires nonstop—Wander, CoC, anything with a tight sustain loop. One minute you're zooming, the next you're doing weird little pauses, praying the flask tick catches up. People often blame latency, map mods, even their own hands. But when your sheet lies to you, you start second-guessing everything you've built.



The Bug After Death
What makes this nasty is when it shows up: after you die and respawn. Something doesn't fully recalc—flask effects, passives, whatever's feeding that regen. So you come back in, think you're ready, and you're actually running a nerfed version of your character. It's the kind of problem you'll only spot if you've got a feel for your numbers. And it messes with more than comfort. It changes what risks you can take, how aggressive you can be in Ritual, and whether your "safe" sustain is actually there. If you're grinding hard, you can lose a lot of time before you even realize what's wrong.



A Silly Fix That Works
The fix is almost insulting: open inventory, pull the flask out, drop it back in. That little "jiggle" forces the game to update the stats, and his regen snaps from 51 to 115 instantly. No relog, no respeccing, no mystery tech. Just a manual refresh. After that, he jumps into Ritual and the difference is immediate—Kinetic Blast chains are smooth, movement feels normal, and he's back to playing the build he actually invested in. It's a good reminder to check the sheet when something feels off, and if you're also picking up currency or gear through a marketplace like U4gm, it's worth verifying your stats before you judge an item or blame your setup for a bad run.
