Of course, if you care about fashion then you may not like a certain race for w/e reason. And yes, if you were leveling back when Troll SK's had like a 68% xp penalty from Race + Class, the regen would probably not overcome the penalty. When the penalty is only 20% on the timeline, the regen is probably better if you are mostly soloing for XP. You'll get similar XP levels, and more money/loot since you are killing more things per hour.
And yes, equipment plays a big role too. A Troll with a Rusty 2h sword and leather armor is probably not going to do better than a Dark Elf with like 5K worth of EC gear, if that money was focused into a good weapon.
Yup, that is true. Regen helps reducing pull times for sure. In terms of AoE fights it doesn't help too much, since most raid fights are only a few minutes long. But yes, it has a small chance to save you in AoE fights too, depending on the duration of the fight and number of AoE's proced.
Unfortunately SK's don't pull too much in raids outside of like VP and Sky Island 3. Generally speaking you are swapping to another character as an SK main when raiding, so reduced pulling time and AoE tankiness isn't being used anyway [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
There’s no data to suggest regen outweighs the penalty. I have a 60 troll sk as well and have done many builds. In most cases you are limited by other things like mob availability. An sk relying on hp regen for efficient soloing 50+ isn’t ideal. You want to be fear kiting and focusing on mana regen primarily. My trolls fungi/epic was more than enough and eventually you hit a point where you are prob better off medding for the next round than having extra regen which is why a bigger mana pool is nice for keeping a long fear kiting session grinding. I also don’t believe any iksar could have out leveled my human Necro because eventually you just tap everything to death. 20% is a hell of a lot more kills from 1-60. I saw you mention that double the regen equates to double the leveling speed, this is completely inaccurate if you actually know to effectively utilize your toolset and pick the appropriate mobs to kill.
I think Most would agree regen is more about the benefit at 60, not for the speed of leveling.
