Mage armour and MR

[Teeshy]

Does my armour need to be meddable for me to take advantage of +MR mods? I've not really played a mage at all before, not very good at it either, not sure I like it =P Hee hee, but I'm trying to make a suit, and not sure if it needs to be medable =)

I won't be using meditation or focus as skills, so it's purely for the +MR armour mods

Thanks in advance for any help!

No, even if you wear platemail with no "Magearmor" you benefit from MR.

Medable armor or "Magearmor" only important for Meditation.

If you dont wear a medable or non-magearmorpieace you CANT medotate but +MR is like:
+staminc or LMC or LRC, doesnt matter which kind of armor it is.

*looking for details and post them*

Ah here:
For each Mana Regeneration item worn or equipped, add 0.1 mana per second.

So if you wear items with +10 MR at all and have 0 meditation and 0 focus, your mana regeneration rate is 1.2 mana points per second.

Here is the link from stratics, which i used for this.

But as mage you should use meditation, my mage have meditation 115 and +15 MR, i wear 40%lmc and 100% lrc, so if i do PvM i dont need any reagents and cast Fireballs circle 3 without loosing mana.
i also can cast 9 or more Flamstrikes beore i have to swith to lower spells.

i think with no meditation you cant cast much spells in a row and dont recover your mana as fast as you need it.
