Manastone Broken

I wish I could "have fun" with it, but they just broke it's primary usage model. I hope they fix this bug.

This change sounds really specific. I rather doubt it was an accident, ya know?

Really, it's not that outlandish of a change though.... it is kinda fair.

IMO, Its a stupid change. The mana returns are rediculous on that thing compared todays standards so why bother messing with it.

If they didnt make it ONLY old world zones, and the new version didnt have a recast timer on it ... maybe, but to keep it as restricted as it is now and add another layer of crappiness to it is pretty insane.

And ya, I agree this is probably tied to a change with the NEW manastone from OMM since according to lucy they are using the same spell.

The item should have been removed from the game long ago. The fact that it is still there in any shape or form is ridiculous in and of itself.

You can still manastone up to full with a merc very very quickly when not in combat.

Still broken... why did they change it after all these years?

Umm. NO you CAN NOT manastone up to full quickly. My mana pool is smaller then most of you, only about 19,000 and even with me spamming the manastone as fast as I can it's only a small percent faster then just OOC regen. You only get in like 2-8 clicks per second depending on how the internet latency is working (have a very fast PC and FIOS internet, should be top notch). You just simply cannot get more clicks per second in then that. Every second of clicking is 40 mana, to 160 mana returned (typically closer to average of 80 per second and that is with you pounding on it.)

What used to still work ok enough to make it's use worth it, was spamming it while I was busy running around splitpaw and casting nukes. I could stretch my 19k mana pool into a full 30 min of use while nuking pretty heavily. In the absense of using the manastone, I need at least 1x 2+ min med break. So each (moving and casting) run would last about 15min or so.

Now, that is totally blown out because I must be totally out of combat before I can use the Manastone. So out of a 30 min session, in splitpaw I now need a med break again and all it does is drop off like 30-40 seconds off the total med time. Mostly though, it was FUN to click the manastone and see the little skulls while running around blowing away elementals. Hopefully from my example you can see that it was NOT overpowered, it was slightly useful and now it's not even that.

And ya, I agree this is probably tied to a change with the NEW manastone from OMM since according to lucy they are using the same spell.

Yes agreed. I'm nearly positive that's what happened because the "break" happened right when the new manastone was added to the game.

I wish I could have fun with it... but they just broke it on the primary way I use it. I really hope they fix this bug.

Edit: Still broken, Sony Fail.
