SK Race question + item help (have never played a tank)

I apologize, I messed up bad on the regeneration math from my previous post lol.

I also should have looked at the wiki hehe. https://wiki.project1999.com/Skill_Meditate. If that table is correct, an SK would be regenerating at 8-15 mana per med tick from levels 20-49, depending on level. I was thinking it was 15 points into meditate before you gained more mana regeneration, instead of 12.

Trolls/Iksars get +1 HP per tick compared to other races while standing from levels 20-49. Sitting they get +3 HP per tick from levels 20-49 compared to other races. If you sit for 30 minutes an hour, you get 300 HP from standing, and 900 HP from sitting, for a total of 1200 HP per hour. So you would be increasing your kill speed by 15 minutes at level 20 (1200 Mana spent on life taps / 80 mana meditated per minute), to 8 minutes at level 49 (1200 Mana spent on life taps / 150 mana meditated per minute). That would be an increase in kill speed of 25% at level 20, to 13% at level 49. This is because life taps from 9-50 have basically a 1 to 1 HP/Mana ratio, so if you are using them to heal, you are trading 1 mana for 1 HP.

On average that would mean you could keep pace with a race that has a 0% XP penalty, but since the higher levels typically take longer, you probably would end up being a bit slower. I am sure it does depend on what you are killing, since different mobs give different experience. That would be harder to quantify, given many mobs have level ranges.
