Is Bind Wound worth learning for a Shadowknight?

You should really keep with your name and call pp "dosh" lol.

I have a Troll SK, they are awesome.

Bind Wound is good for an SK when you don't have the clicky healing bp from Velious. Bind Wound is much faster than regen by itself. Plus, the extra Troll regen still ticks while you are Bind Wounding.

I would recommend getting a https://wiki.project1999.com/Embalmers_Skinning_Knife so you can summon bandages whenever you want. This also allows you to practice piercing, if you don't have another piercing weapon.

EDIT: Let me be a little more clear on the benefits.

Meditation allows an SK to regenerate mana MUCH faster than their HP. You will easily be regenerating mana at least twice as fast as your HP. The only way to get your HP back (other than regen) is life taps and Bind Wound. Depending on where you are fighting, it isn't always easy to find a low level mob you can tap on to convert all that mana you are regenerating in to HP. Therefore, Bind Wound is a great tool to get you back to 50%, without relying on finding said low level mob to life tap. Since your mana regeneration is still insanely fast, you really aren't losing out on the meditation ticks while you are Bind Wounding. You will still end up getting back to 100% mana before 100% HP.
