This is my template im building, 2 questions.

1. From your experience do you think having no meditation will affect me that badly?
2. do you think the extra 29.9 points in med will improve my mana regen very much?
P.S. starting a dexer guild(pref. macers) and will help you build you chars if need be, unfortunately the help would just be macroing. Im poor :*(

No and No.

who do your no's refer to

If you're wearing metal armor and have only 25 INT, I don't think 29.9 will increase your mana regen rate at all. I'm not speaking metaphorically, I mean literally, it won't make you gain mana back any faster.

Digging up my old file... the slowest possible mana regen rate is 7.0 seconds per point.

If you're wearing chain/ring armor, even with 100 med, you're still only regenerating mana at 7.0 seconds per point.

If you're wearing chain/ring armor AND you have 100 med AND you have 100 INT (which increases med rate too, don't forget), you regen at about 5.5 seconds per point.

I don't think 30 med will improve your mana regen rate in leather or studded leather either.

Numbers are approximate, btw, and rounded to the nearest 1/4 second.

No, you will be wearing armor, so your meditation is hindered already. Plus, how much int will you have? You will probably only rely on recall, GHeals and miniheals. (MR, RA and Magic trap should all be done beforehand and thus you should already have gotten that mana back)

theleptonkid wrote:2. do you think the extra 29.9 points in med will improve my mana regen very much?

No, 30 med is not very significant, but if you have nothing better to spend the points in, go ahead.

...or what Mikel said.

What about naked? also what would you recommend to put those extra 29.9 pts into? Tracking?

30 points of tracking will help you see a little more than the screen you're in. Quite useful in certain circumstances.

Well, what I said is that it's an entire waste of 29.9 points. It will literally do NOTHING.

I'd advise getting Magery up to GM, for better GHeals (and more importantly, mini-heals).

70.1 Doesnt max out gheal?

Nope.

can you direct me to a link, with the Gheal to magery formula? If its just from personal experience can you give me a rough estimate of the Mini and G heals effectiveness at 70.1 and 100.0 magery?

If you type "greater heal" in the search box of the forums, this is the first link:

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9154

I did and this is what I found

The greater heal spell has a value of 40% magery and plus 1-10 hitpoints.

So say at 70 magery I'd have about a 99% (70 skill giving me the 99% to cast 4th circle)chance to cast Greater Heal for about 28-38 hp.

-Btw Thanks for finding that Kaarug

is that not the max greater heal?

With 60.0 magery I just healed 3 times in a row 8, 9, and 10, pointss G heal was 29 points..
