Subject: Re: Jaxan's Jig (not)


Ummm... This has been thoroughly researched by many of us on this
list. It seems to effect how often the bar is refreshed but does not
actually improve the speed of mana regeneration. We have conducted
many tests with stopwatches and such. In fact we have beat the
subject to death.. (he he) It doesn't help at all. Period. We WISH
it did, in fact it would be a great way to cure the level 15 to 32 no
one wants to party with Bards blues but, sigh, it is not to be. Trust
us, that web site is wrong.

Greetings all,

I've noticed that nobody seems to know how Jaxan's Jig can be helpful... one
of the websites mentioned that it increases the recovery pulse rate for all
three bars (not just stamina) from approximately 8sec/pulse to 6 sec/pulse.
So what? Well, what this means is:

- If you are in a party with casters, they get a 20-25% increase on mana
regen
(this has been independently verified with a cleric)
- If you are in a party with other bards, your healing songs should
increase at the
same rate (haven't tested this one)

Just the first one alone, along with psalm and selo's, make you an even
more critical member of a party. Some bards, when presented with this
information, say "but that makes my mana regen song useless," and so won't
even try it. Of course, the mana regen song is, what, 50%? So it's still
an upgrade. But bards who don't take advantage of this "side effect" of
Jaxan's are, in my opinion, slighting themselves and their party.

Anyhow, just thought I'd share :-)
