Meditation

This skill functions like mediation did pre-aos.

• Mana regeneration is increased by intelligence and meditation skill and decreased by AR modified by armor type.
• Leather armor has no reduction, studded leather has partial reduction, any metal armor has full effect reduction.

"It is very difficult to mediate when my mana is below 50%".

Players have been given double mana, however after you reach a point where your mana loss exceeds your meditation skill mediation will begin to fail and you will need to allow it to raise at its natural slow rate. When hunting, players are advised not to let their mana go below this line. However, in situations such as boss mobs or PvP they now have a much bigger mana pool to dip into for emergencies.

Armor effects how much extra mana you get.

The more metal armor you wear the less mana bonus you will get. At full plate your mana should be equal to your int. Mixing and matching other types of metal armor should give you some mana bonus, all the way up to double in leather or non armor.

Example

• If you are wearing all leather armor you won't have a meditation reduction regardless of the AR.
• If you are wearing metal armor your meditation rate will come down to nothing, or nearly nothing.
• Studded leather is half as good as leather, there is a meditation reduction but its half the AR value.
