World of Warcraft Analysis - Mana Mechanics

In World of Warcraft, couple new mana mechanics are introduced. I am quite sure Blizzard is pretty much the original creators of these things.

Rage - Warrior's mana. Rage generates when damage is dealt and when damage is taken. Rage degenerates slowly when out of combat. Taking damage generates aprox 1/3 of rage if that damage was instead dealt by you.

Focus - Hunters pets' mana. it generates very fast, it is really similar to Rogues'mana - Energy.

Energy - Rogues' mana. It starts at 100, decreases when skills are used and regenerates by itself pretty fast.

Rage goes from 0 to 100, energy goes from 100 to 0 lawl.
