| Subject | Meditate Update |
| I think a lot of people always felt like this should be an active or semi active ability, and now might be a good time for it to become so. As it currently stands, there isn't ever much point of meditating unless you only need to regen mana, and only a rather small amount...because even though you have an ability "boosting" your mana gains, sleeping isn't usually too far behind, and now sleep deeper ticks are making a heavily outgunned option anytime you have to regen a lot. My idea is to either replace or add on to the passive portion of meditate with an active "meditate" command prompt, when used will put you in a deeply concentrated (sitting/resting) state, which you can't get out of for about 3-5 ticks once you begin. This is better than just flat out boosting the passive gain back up and making the combination of sleep/rest too powerful or making one see a lot more use over the other 90% of the time. The meditative state would persist even if attacked. So using it when you are in danger of becoming aggro'd or pkilled would make you have to think extra hard about when to implore the active portion of the ability rather than just fleshing out the forced time constraint and deciding if it's worth it to be helplessly twiddling your thumbs for 1.5-3mins. |
