Yes it seems unlikely, and I do not completely trust the guy who broadcast
this over guildchat. However, your situation is a little different because
there is no hard number to look at while testing Jig vs Mana Regen, and
sometimes mana status bars can appear slower or faster due to lag of one
kind or another. This guy is claiming an exact number of hp healed by Hymn +
Gypsy Lute (45 at 46th level), and I won't bother to slam him for false info
until I know wether or not it's true.
By the way, I do recall a post by J.M. Capozzi months ago on the Jig vs mana
regen debate, and he stated that rumor as myth. I don't mind believing him,
especially since mana song is a DEFINITE.
