So, I'm curious, does anyone have experience with the level 2 health regeneration rune, level 2 health/mana/ego (10%) rune, or the level 2 magic enhancement rune (15%)? I can't really decide between the three (or if I even want any of them, but credit sale, hard to pass up).

Someone also suggested Prism, it's 800 credits so about the same price. However while I can see it being useful for a city dweller, since they get native access to cosmic and astral, I don't see it being useful for me since I get ethereal through my nexus and I'd only really want it for the astral access so anything less of a cubix doesn't seem worthwhile, and I don't want to buy a cubix at this moment.

So anyone with experience with any of those three artifacts have an opinion on them? Could you notice a difference? Worthwhile?

I don't think the health mana ego boost is worth it unless you get the lvl three one. I think the level 2 magic enhancement is the best thing for your money.

Hmmm yes, but then again, moonburst is rather weak compared to some other magical attacks. I never kill anyone with moonburst till they are good and messed up anyway, to the point where the damage doesn't matter. As for bashing, I probably wouldn't notice the difference, due to rounding it'd probably take the same number of moonbursts to kill an astral mob.

I have all of those, save the magic enhancement.

As a tae'dae I found the level2 regen wonderull, as other races, I didn't notice it as much.

the 10% health/mana/ego boost, I found to be AMAZING for bashing. Especially when you do the toscha quest, it stacks on itself, becomming even more amazing.

2000 health = 2200 health = 2420 health with life blessing = 3030 with Toscha I think.

I wish you could rent artifacts. Sort of like a try before you buy.

heh, you want a mini-test server don't you?

I was thinking the same thing earlier in relation to new skill sets that come out.

You can rent artifacts from other players...

Eh good point, though I doubt anyone in Serenwilde would have them, besides maybe Ialie.

I loathe asking a city-dweller of either variety, and Glomdoring as well.

Doesn't Elryn have at least one of the regeneration runes?

I wouldn't bother with the regen runes. I have a L1 ego regen and I barely notice it usually. Can't imagine a L2 would be much better.

To calculate Regenerations, use this page.

Ok so it says my level 2 regeneration would be 215. How often is that? How many seconds per tick?

8 I think. But I tested it a while back, so I'm not sure.

I think it's 10 seconds per tick.

And with mercy, you'd have level 3, I think.

Mercy doesn't count as a level of regeneration. Its a flat %.

Yeah, but....regeneration is a %level too....so if he has like....14% from natural regen, he gets like 7% for mercy.

And wow, according to that page, a Tae'dae Warrior with Highmagic, the lvl 2 regen rune, plus Regeneration, plus Mercy, would regen 569 health every 8-10 seconds at level 80.

That's pretty brutal, given a max health of 5180 and a sip of between 912-1368, plus a sparkleberry bite for 518.

So, in 10 seconds, a level 80 tae'dae warrior could regen 569 + 1100 + 1100 + 518 + 518 = 3805 health.

Now that is a tank.

like I said, helps a tae'dae not much for other races

I recently bought a lvl2 health regen artie, I bought it specifically for maintaining putrefaction which is something like a 8% - 10% current health drain every 8(?) seconds. With it, i'm on a positive regen still, so yeh i rate the artifact as nice because i ofter forget to put putre up before going into team fights, having it so i can just set it and forget it is exceptionally nice

My crown of ascension has slots in it for every rune, so I'd let you try that, but I recently decided that a bigscreen TV would be better than spending the ungodly amount of credits it would take to finish the crown.

I suppose I really had nothing useful to add. Sorry!
