It does not recover faster, it just FORCES you to sit still, I however, wanted a /rest and everyone was like EEEW. But no, it doesn't recover faster, standing still recovers the same amount as sitting, though easier to move, and if you move you recover a little slower.

This is coming from a guy who doesn't know anything about the game, because I only have two 50s and play off and on~ So, it's your choice to believe me or not.
