I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.. But does 5% med mod on an item actually do anything?
I'm 65 and have max med (obviously) which is 252, as far as I know 252 is the hard cap and no matter how much you try to mod it it can't go passed that. Even if it could I doubt having a med skill of 264 or whatever from the 5% bonus would really do anything.
Anyone know for sure?

Does nothing. Except for some of the meleer mods, most noteably backstab, the +skill items do little or nothing unless you aren't at the cap.

Hard cap on all skills is 255.
I believe the mediate skill is broken down to:
Skill / 10 +1 = Mana per tick.
So.. skill 10 = 2 mana per tick.
skill 100 = 11 mana per tick.
Max meditate mana regeneration is 255 / 10 + 1 = 26 mana per tick.

Meditate gives 19/tick at the cap for caster/priests, I never figured out what hybrids get at the cap but it's probably 19 as well. Everyone with a manapool gets a basic 1/tick, and level 65s get an additional 2/tick regardless of if you're meditating or not.
So a self-buffed FT15 MC3 druid at level 65 with all their spells, a boon of recovery and koadic's item on a horse and not moving/attacking wil get...
19 - meditation
15 - FT
8 - Pot9
5 - Koadic's
4 - MotF
3 - MC3
3 - Boon of Recovery
2 - level 65 bonus
1 - base
= 60
... Which is as good as it gets. Wind of Marr is another 22 and Voice of Quellious another 18 on to that, Spiritual Dominion will overwrite Boon giving an additional 6 for 106 mana/tick before counting rods, SK, necro and BST short duration group mana and additional in-group bard mana.

Actually the max any skill can be is 253. (2 bits are reserved).
So meditate maxxing at 252, so you'd only get an increase of 1 to your meditate. When your at your class max +%skill items are only good for say skill which max at 235 or lower.

It helps if you are not close to the cap. If your meditate skill is maxxed, it is almost totally useless.
L1ndara,
I'm not trying to question you, but I've seen that 2 extra mana/tick at 65 tossed around a lot, and I've never really seen conclusive evidence to back it up. Could you please let me know where you have seen that verified so that I can share it with my friends. Since you posted on this thread earlier today, I've spent hours trying to find further evidence of it and I've come up empty.
I appreciate your help.

Simple test is to strip off all your manaregen, MGB to clear your pool to 0 and figure out how long it takes before you can cast... say... Regrowth of the Grove. With MC3 it should take 10 minutes standing if you get +2/tick from being 60, if you don't get the +2/tick it'll take 15.
Alternatly you can use a proxy that gives you your manapool size in a number instead of a percentage and spend 6 seconds to see how much you regenned that tick.
