Recover HP/MP while standing still, out of battle, and enmity zeroed

[Neptune]

Okay, I'm going to use WoW as an example. In WoW, you can't (by default, unless it's changed since I quit) regain MP while casting. However, once you stop casting for five seconds, your natural regeneration kicks in again. Note that at this point you have cast (past tense), but are no longer casting (progressive tense).

To apply this to the patch notes, the notes say that you may regenerate MP while standing still, but may not regenerate while incurring enmity. Note that those are both progressive tenses. Meaning that once you've stopped (for however much time) regeneration will begin. If the amount of enmity you have is not changing, then you are not incurring enmity, you merely have incurred it.



Has nothing to do with elitism, but that's a nice red herring. If a tank doesn't have Warmonger, Disorient, Taunt, Accomplice, Prime Conditioning, etc., I very seriously doubt he'd ever be able to tank effectively, no matter how many mages you throw at him.

I was being sarcastic but I'm glad you posted that. Actually in WoW there is now "in-combat" regen, which is something like 1/3 of your other mana regen rate. You can adjust it with equipment and talents.

I'm guessing you didn't notice my response to NoctisUmbra. You're proposing that there is programming in the new patch to determine when you have been idle in incurring enmity. This is quite a leap. What we know of the enmity system is that it is accumulative, meaning values don't drop off and continue to accumulate for the duration of the fight. When you incur a high level of enmity the only way for it to go "down" is for someone else to go higher than you. So if you understand what I am saying there you will understand why I don't think there is a basis for thinking the game "keeps track" of how long it's been since you accumulated enmity during a fight.

In that last case, most healers don't even know what those abilities are. There are a lot of players that are very casual, especially considering the state of the game.

Bull****. Our LS regularly runs with 2-3 healers, and I still have to tell them to stop healing me (DPS) instead of the tank. Obviously you're exaggerating the hell out of the MP costs.

I'm really not exaggerating! Do you not believe that parties were formed with 5 healers based on healing 1 tank? Do a forum search for GLA CON ARC Darkhold and read what you find. I know it can be done with less healers and skilled players.. but we are not discussing that are we?
