I'm working on a pvm necro/mystic/mage and I'm willing to sacrifice meditation if I can get enought MR on armor and jewelry. Thanks for any advice and/or help.
Go to the Stratics Meditation skill page and use the claculator there to see what the numbers are.
I entered 120 med, 100 Int, 0 focus, & 0 mana regen and got a 1.47/sec mana regen rate. 0 med, 100 Int, 0 focus, and 12 mana regen gave 1.13/sec mana regen rate. I've read that there is a diminishing return as you add mana regen items. This is when wearing meddable armor.
My Scribe has 120 med, 100 int, 80 focus, & 12 mana regen and gets 2.69/ sec mana regen in meddable armor. 3.95/sec when actively meditating.
I gave my Archer/Paladin meditation because of the big jump in mana regen with active meditation.
