Your opinions about pure support casters with mana regen

Have anyone tried getting OHT gear for their casters for mana regen?? I have tried PWI calculator and I have calculated about 128 MP per second total from armor/cape. Which can pretty be a useful + cheap alternative in getting max mp regen.

Being pure magic would give about 150.8 MP per second.

    Bad idea. Really low survivability in exchange for saving a few mp pots?

    maybe for main gear, not sure. What about using them as secondary?

    Rank gear > OHT gear.

    rank is so easy to get, I don't know why you would even consider OHT stuff.

    Mana Regen on a cleric with high channeling might be something very nice, but that is probably an either-or scenario. I'd honestly pick the cleric with channeling over mp regen.

    And to a point, casters are squishy anyway. They aren't tanks, and if they're taking physical damage other than ranged physical AOE consistently, you're doing something wrong.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    OHT armors can beat rank armor if you get the right stats. Its just more rare than rank. Along with foundation of the world with -10% channeling. I have my own preference about equips.

    IMHO, I dislike arcane robes anyway, lack of defense... wiz, cleric and psy are forced to use them for more M.ATK and -chan bonuses. So -chan won't make the casters less squishy anyway.

    Hi there.

    That's good for clerics who get the benefit of being considered out of combat if 1) they are only healing and 2) manage not to get hit while they heal. Under these circumstances they make full/near full use of the extra mp regen and you will not save a few pots, you will save something between a lot and all of them.

    I have never played a veno so I can't tell if it may be a similar case for them while they only heal their pet and only the pet attacks and takes hits.

    I don't think it may be too good for casters of other classes, specially if you want to pk. If rank armor boosts your attack through attack levels or whatever it's better to go for it. In this last scenario you may still be squishy but you will be one shooting everybody in your path as complaints about rank gear sales suggest.

    O.o Not on my server for sure..Tokens are at the lowest 17k each now and takes 3..so 51k to have 50 right ?

    Anyway, I think the whole mana regen set-up would "help" , but definetly not somethig you should rely on.

    On me would be great though..8 secs at 150 mp/sec..im full..but then again..a lvl 60 pots fills me up (even overflows a bit)

    To test it well on a cleric, what u would need to do is take for exemple IH. Put a regular suit on and cast as many u can from ur mana before running out (of course don't be charmed and dont use one single pot).. Then..put ur 150 mp/sec suit on and do same thing. See how many more IH u can pull out. If ur happy with the result, maybe its the suit for you and u found a way to have a personnalized one that works..

    I salute you though to make tests. Myself, I like to personnalize my stuff and test my survavibilty. Most people at lvl 80 (or just passed) have full TT80 gear (armor and wep), I just have sleeves for now and fare quite well. Tanked Bloodflare in OHT yesterday with a same lvl clerc as I whitout a sweat.

    Now I wonder if I can get myself a suit with 150 hp/sec regen b:puzzled

    All pro clerics I know have an alt gear set for mana regen or mana pool or mag points. Mostly a fun thing to do, all gear socketed with mana gems.

    I also do on my alt cleric, mainly a fun project but i like to heal/buff certain cat shops in west arch for hours of the day. Increases their popularity.
