Mage damage issue

[Sumit]

First of all i would like to request u to take calculator in hand. I dont know if all of u who use mage have same doubt like i do, I have a doubt in mage damage in pvm. Its said that mage damage calculation are calculated as=
50+2.5×(mana)=damage. Green flow spell.
Ok my problem is
1. without using gear my mana is 1998 so damage should be= 50+2.5×1998=5045, (pvm)
2. with using gear my mana is 3708 so damage should be =50+2.5×3708=9320, (pvm)
But using gear does same damage
Using gear damage = 5045
without using gears = 5045
So even if i use gear i does same damage as without using gears. So using gears does not mage any changes in stats. Using gears stats and without using gears have same stats. I tested on monsters without magic resist. Am i only the one facing this problem or
Is this a game bug or what? May i know why my damage r not exactly as given in mannual and in game calculation. My class is mage.
Plz some body know it can anyone explain me. Thankyou in advance.....

In the Game Manual, it states that mana from gear is not calculated for healing or damage. Mana from gear only adds to your maximum available mana for casting spells. This is not a bug, but by design, to balance the higher damage rate of higher level mages. I hope this info helps, and hope you will also check the Manual more thoroughly. It has LOTS of useful information.
