The Spirit Realm

I just made a hotbutton that did this, assuming canni was in slot 2:

/pause X, /cast 2
/pause X, /cast 2
/pause X, /cast 2
/pause X, /cast 2
/pause X, /cast 2

Then I just manually hit my sit button as soon as each cast was done. I didn't get every tick, but I had a good chance of hitting one with how much sitting I was doing. The cool thing was I could use the same macro when on my mount and I just didn't have to worry about sitting. Once I got AA cannibilization it wasn't worth the micromanagment. From 24 to 50ish it maybe is.

With Canni 4, I usually sit, wait for the tic, and pop my hotbutton, which has a pause 6 in it, so that leaves me plenty of time to get the spell off and sit back down before the next tic, plus with the added leeway, and can fire Can again if it fizzles, or even throw out a quick heal if needed.

Keep in mind that the meditation bonus is around 30ish mana per tic. Health regen is 2 or 3 a tic.

In other words, if you're not sitting when the tic occurs, you're missing out on an extra 30ish mana you could have had.

30ish mana = Spiritual Ascendance + Steeloak Skin + Clarity Potion

In other words again, if you're not sitting when the tic occurs, it's as if you didn't care that you're missing out on SA + 10 + C potion....

This med bonus is one of the main reasons casters have mounts. The next main reason to have a mount is that you don't get sitting aggro when the mob is in camp. Lastly we use mounts for travelling at higher runspeeds. Some also have mounts, usually horses, for status purposes.

Here is an old link that has mana calculations in it.

For easy access:

Standing mana regen is 1 per tick (tick is 6 seconds).
Seated mana regen is 2 per tick.

If you have the meditation skill, then you get a bonus added to your value for seated mana recovery. There are 2 known formulas to compute this bonus:

<b><u>Formula 1 </u></b>
Players Between Level 35 and 50:
meditation bonus = (Meditation Skill * .06) Mana/tick

Players Over level 50:
meditation bonus = (Meditation Skill *.06) + (Level - 50)/tick

<i>Example 1: Level 65 with 252 Med = 15.12 (252 * .06) +15 (65–50)=<b> 30.12/tick</b></i>

<b><u>Formula 2</u></b>
Meditation bonus = meditation skill / 10

<i>Example 2: level 65 with 252 Med Skill = <b>25.2 /tick</b> </i>

I'm more confused now than before...
