If someone else is bored may they do something similar for a necro?

I'm not sure what you mean.

Velious is a hps and ac expansion first and foremost. Resists are also up there, while mana lags behind.

For example, a bis wizard in Kunark can hit ~3.7k mana, while bis in Velious is ~4.5k. While hitpoints wise, a bis wizard in Kunark is around ~1.6k hps, while bis in Velious is 3.5k (+/- 100hps). From those figures you can clearly see the huge jump in hps and not that huge of a jump in mana.

And this is the case for all classes. Just look at how many 100hps items there are in Kunark and Velious versus high mana ones.

Taking all numbers as unbuffed btw.

Triple post! I'm rampaging!

If you folks want to play around with item sets for Velious, there's a server called Morell-Thule in the EQEMU list. It's GM command enabled server.

#level 60
#setallskills 255
#itemsearch itemname
#summonitem itemID

Can do all of your testing there.
