Sit or not sit ?

[Farellion]

that's the question i am wondering about :keke:

As i know meditation works differently here, i used to go melee during battle up to lvl 40+ with my 2 toons, as their melee skills were still rising... because i saw that meditation was not really working in battle situation, so i maxed all my melee casters skills just to... do something while my pet was fighting !

But now that i am lvl 45... my melee skills aren't rising anymore due to my casters class limits, and so i barely manage to do some melee damage now, as it's become too hard to hit of course even for my druid...

So i am wondering...

Sitting while in combat situation does regen mana faster than when you stand ? i mean at higher levels you generally... stand up... or sit ? or do you go melee ?

i mean which action is the more benefic for your group ? seeing the druid or caster helping hitting the mob by behind when he's low on mana ? or sitting do really give you enough more mana in battle situation for a last heal / nuke ?

i ask that because i was kind of sure that it was useless to sit on this server in combat situation, but a lvl 62 druid on this server told me it was indeed useful, and by sitting he got enough more mana for a last heal / nuke...

so is it true ?... never really saw the difference, but at the same time never took my time calculator out to check it :keke:

thanks for any answers.

thanks ! i have all the informations i need now

so this druid "synyin" was partially true, as he was probably soloing and as a druid... he can sit for a long time while he waits for his dot or root to wears off the mob.

But i shouldn't have listened to him as it's not my playstyle lol, i rarely wait 30sec ! and so i sold my mallet of the frozen golem i was meleeing with, and came back with a more "druid solo playstyle" weapon the gleaming scimitar, thinking he was true...

next time i'll think twice before listening to "big mouth" high levels -_-

thanks again !

If you cast ANY spell, there is a 30 second wait time afterward before you will be able enter the meditative trance again.

Not true. You can cast spells that affect only you (yellow gem) without affecting 30-sec-timer.

If you cast anything that affects someone who is not you, regardless if it is your pet, the mob or a party member, the timer resets and you have to wait 30 sec for trance.

A quick test proves otherwise! Maybe harvest spells are given an exception, but self-buff spells are not.

Harvests are defnitly an exception, self-rune as well from what I can tell.
