I am a Priest of Mitra and I need to choose between two weapons.

The staff offers: +70% tap mana % (magical) and +8 concentration
The tome offers: +64.8 mana and +12 concentration

Which is better?
What is "tap mana" ?

Thank you.

You can drain mana.

[ibury]

you dont drain mana, you "heal" your own mana, if "tap" would drain, the dark templer would not be that bad as it is now

[Deepfry333]

Ibury, what does "heal your own mana" mean? Faster mana regen? (And if so, what is the difference between the "mana regen" stat and the "tap mana" stat?)

And I still don't know which of the two weapons is supposed to be the best. Is "tap mana" better than "mana pool"

[schnitzel25]

Tap mana most likely scales with your damage, while mana regen doesn't.

As to which item part, i would suggest neither:

If your a Priest of Mitra you want a club and a shield rather than a staff or a tome.
The survivability goes waaaaay up.

Tap mana means for each bit of damage you do you will gain a little bit of mana back.
