Default Burst Gems
With energy and mana regeneration, there is really no "down-side" to having small to medium pools of PSt and MSt and put the points instead into PRe and/or MRe.

But at what cost?

Idea: HUGE burst gems that cost a TON to cast, but have HUGE impact on the match.... Think apocalypse x 3 (for impact and casting cost)

There are currently no gems atm that on a good, capped caster, cast-cost is 1/2...2/3... maybe even 3/4 of the energy and/or mana pools fully available. Seems like it could be a very, very, fight swinging play and depending on how the gems were designed to function, a plethora of new builds/strategies could arise from such gems.

do you realize a caster can get over 4k mana but will lack in a lot other things like cnc/int? It can go even higher but at a decent rate for cnc/int for farming nlake/dmv. that means at 75% you would need over 3k mana, bit insane to use that much energy as well. There is no way with that amount of pst and mst you can have a defense that is good enough to last long enough to use these gems. If i am seeing this wrong please feel free to correct me
