This topic has come up at least 3 or 4 times, all results have come to the
same conclusion, jig has no effect on mana regen, it does affect the refresh
rate of your mana bar however, so it may appear to speed it up. I find it
especially odd that you are saying an almost 20% increase, I think you
should maybe make sure you are timing the exact same amount of mana every
time.

>>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 :-)
