Theurgist question - Phoenix Freeshard

Is the mana cost of a Theurgist pet a percent of "base" mana pool or total mana pool here on Phoenix? On other servers it was base mana pool (the mana pool derived only from base statistics) so you didn't want to put creation points into acuity so the mana cost of the pets was as low as possible. Is that how it is here too?

Total mana pool and focus apply to cost of pet, by level 4-5 (in ROG gear) youre cranking out many more than a base pool would allow

So I think you are saying the 12% pet cost is based on the base pool? For example your base pool is 100 mana meaning a pet costs 12 mana and that you could only summon 8.3 pets on that base pool. Once you get some acuity from items your mana pool rises to 120 mana but the pets still cost 12 mana (since the pet cost is based on base mana pool) and therefore you can now cast 10 pets before going OOP. If this is true then all I need to know is the mana regen on Phoenix % based or flat point based? And if it is % based is that based on total actual mana or base mana pool? If all mana regen (sitting and POM and Serenity) is % based on total mana pool than it may not matter if you increase the size of your base pool by putting creation points into acuity or not....but if mana regen is flat point based then you don't want to increase that base pool size by putting points into acuity at creation (for a Theurgist).

From what Ive seen all forms of regen (mending or pom) take into account your new total hp/mp whether from buffs, gear, RAs, etc. The only exception to this was savages buffs and life transfers like cabby/spiritmasters which took from base hp prior to armor and buffs. So your first explanation, I think. I cant imagine wanting less int stat on a theurg.
