LE vs DE Mana Regen

[Elinthae]

Is the mana regen of the Light Elf really that much better than a Dark Elf? I am considering making a healer & have been reading about and considering the differences. The difference in mana regen would be the stat MEN (LE 77, DE 73) correct?

I also have been considering making a Light Elf & using chaos essence to change to Shillien Saint. I think that would be rather interesting. I would get the +5% casting speed LE bonus, higher WIT (increasing casting speed more) of LE, plus the MP Consumption -10% & the extra mana regen skill Mental Recharge of the SS.

I would be using this character as PVE support for my Tyr / ISS or small group efforts.

The mana regen is not that important since sometime now, you have rebirth every 10 min or so, which totally cancels the need for higher mp regen.DE has 2 rebirths - 1 for the whole party and 1 more for single target (including self).

On the L2 wiki, I was looking at the SS class skills https://l2wiki.com/Aeore_Shillien_Saint#Unique class skills& the racial skills https://l2wiki.com/Aeore_Shillien_Saint#Race Skills.

Are you referring to the Mental Recharge skill? From what I am reading that is part of the SS class skills not the DE racial. The DE racial skill seems to be:

a) Increases P. Critical Damage and M. Critical Damage by 1%.
b) Increases Wind resistance by 20.
