What effects power regen?

[IAmTacoSal]

Is it just that the higher your AGI is the faster it regenerates or are there other factors? <div></div>

<P>AGI affects scout power pool (total power) but not regen..</P> <P>Only 4 things affect power (mana) regen: -</P> <P>- Equipment with FT (flowing thought) on them like Prismatic, GEB boots etc.</P> <P>- Drink</P> <P>- Natural </P> <P>- Trait "+" Character selected</P>

If so does anything affect this (such as my character level?) P.S. While I'm asking this I figure I'll ask one more newbie question... Does str increase your damage with a bow or only melee... if it doesn't what does increase ranged damage?</span><div></div><p>Message Edited by IAmTacoSalad on <span class=date_text>12-25-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:56 AM</span>

[Siphar]

<P>Answered several times:</P> <P>- Natural - used to be a set % of your total power pool -</P> <P>So as you gain a larger power pool >> your natural regen raises.</P>

[Siphar]

<P>Example: Say Natural power regen is 4% of your total power and you have 100 power at Level 10. Then your natural power regen is +4 per tick (every 6 secs)</P> <P>Now you gain several levels and you total power is now 200. 4% of 200 = +8 power per tick (every 6 secs).</P> <DIV>Enjoy - </DIV>

<DIV>Generally speaking, you won't have to obsess much over your in-combat power regen rate. We don't burn through it too fast unless you're doing a lot of hardcore soloing. </DIV>

[Siphar]

<DIV>As a Ranger yes we dont have many power problems. melee'ing isn't very efficient for your dps imo but getting the range to "mid" is what is important. There is a happy medium between Range and melee where you can use most of your melee CA and range CA maximising your overall dps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Stream of arrows 55+ is also very handy for some good dps and power saving.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Enjoy -</DIV>

<P>Forget to hint for a peacock BOW (prismatic2) and not another duel wield- </P> <P>BOW </P> <P>BOW</P> <P>BOW....  :smileywink:</P>

[Amistead]

<P>There are some misconceptions floating here that need to be cleared up.</P> <P>If you are concerned about IN COMBAT power regen...</P> <P>1. Drinks have no effect upon in combat power regen.  Some of them do increase your initial power pool, but NOT the rate at which you regen power.</P> <P>2.  There are several in game item effects which increase in combat power regen. Look for prismatic glow, flowing thought, battlement of the mind, and flow of fyr'urn.</P> <P>3.  The total size of your power pool does NOT affect the rate at which you naturally regen power in combat.  This is level dependent.  If you are level 60 with a 3000 power pool, and you compare your natural regen to another level 60 with a 6000 power pool, your natural regen will be the same.  </P>

[Korpo]

^ AgreeIf I remember correctly, your IN combat NATURAL regen is level/10, so a level 43 gets 4 power per tick, a level 59 gets 5 power per tick, a level 60 gets 6 power per tick, practically nothing. Items with flowing thought, battlement, etc. will increase the total amount you regen, as will the various items you can get and spells players can cast on you. Your maximum in combat power regen is 1.5 * level, so a level 40 can get up to 60 power per tick regen. A level 60 can get up to 90. Items, however, can only regen up to 0.75 * level per tick, so a 60 can only get 45/tick from items.Confused yet?<div></div>
