Manastone use, Druid or Cleric

[zelld52]

Making my swan song toon. Trading a bunch of gear for a manastone. Gonna either play druid or cleric with the manastone.

Have a fungi, have Seahorse Belt, have tons of HP gear. Would a cleric or druid be a better bet for levelling my last toon casually (1-2 hours per morning)

I've got a 55 cleric / 51 druid I can toss the stone on. Would a cleric be able to solo 55-60 with manastone? Straight up nuking mobs?

Or would druid be more successful with manastone?

EDIT: If I picked up my cleric, I wouldn't need Fungi - but I was considering rolling a new cleric for luls (and lulls)

druids going to be way more fun charming w/ a fungi + manastone

cleric is going to be literally nuking undead mobs, manastone / CH up, keep nuking ad nauseam

Kinda figured so. I loved loved loved loved permafrost 55-60 on my shaman. Would be fun to bring druid there too

Since this is my swan song toon, I might reroll from level 1 - druid. But my druid has peg cloak, so maybe not.

Trading away my elder beads and zlandi heart for this manastone - worse comes to worst I just retire and keep the manastone /shrug

Oh yeah it'll be a hoot at level 5. Way better than cleric.

Issue with doing it on a druid is that you are a druid. Hope that helps.

Thought about this. My play time is very limited now, maybe 2 hours a day max - maybe 4 days a week max.

Druid was the last class I haven't pushed to 55+ that I think would be able to fit into the casual play time.

If this was Kunark "The Hole" launch era, when the hole had like 60+ people in it every night, I'd say cleric hands down. Leveling a cleric in groups in the hole with a manastone (and pre-nerf donals BP) was the most fun I ever had on my cleric.

However, unless you can BYOG to the hole, it's not going to be very useful. Most good groups are not in classic zones anymore.

As far as soloing... soloing a cleric is extremely painful with manastone. Literally. Like, you will get RSI from clicking your stone so much. I leveled my cleric in classic from 40-50 on spectres and to keep two spawns down I had to basically be spamming my stone every single moment that I wasn't fighting and by the end I had pretty bad RSI.

Having a manastone on a cleric is more than just combining it with Complete Heal. You can also simply hit the stone frequently. Fungi + manastone = 5 mana per tick that stacks with clarity, bard, FT, etc.

[Toxigen]

Its too bad you can't get all the velious clickies on druid at 5 anymore.

BP + Wrist + Fungi + Manastone would be a riot.

[Jibartik]

with diamondskin legs and ports you can get full mana real quick on druid from any zone you can bind in, which is nice. Wizard too with epic.

[enjchanter]

manastone is a highly overrated item

[Snaggles]

Option C: Paladin

manastone is a highly overrated item

Not if you're a druid

[zelld52]

Rolled an Uber Druid with Fungi and stone. Tons of fun so far.

Thought about paladin, but the freedom of ports is too compelling. Charming too is fun

trade the fungi and get druid clicky legs, or at least get the legs, free 200 hp heal with the legs you have full mana in classic zones at all time and in kunark/velious its just a quick zone to misty, heal up, gate back to camp!

[Gustoo]

Manastones isn’t over rated

Druid, wizard, cleric.

Being full mana as a cleric in about 3 mins of click and CH is pro. Use Celestial elixir and get good efficiency without having to tank your hp for full benefit.

[Jibartik]

Probubly could have a lot of fun in lguk as a cleric with manastone?

[Liia]

manastone is a highly overrated item

Totally agreeing with it. Probably the most overrated item in-game in my opinion. Thing said, I used mine alot on my cleric and druid, and I found that it is much more usefull on a druid than on my cleric. Also its pretty tedious to do it on a cleric. You spam more than you would on a shaman. You might aswell find a buddy enchanter and farm/xp with him.

Have the Kunark legs, will work a charm at 45 for mana. I've done the formulas lol. Take about 5 mins to get to full mana with em. 40 mana/tick regen with MS in classic zone.

Manastone with a fungi + fungi staff would be fun.

Yeah it's pretty baller. I've got Fungi + Fungi Staff + Elder Spiritist Greaves.

Mana is never an issue in classic zones. It's just too bad druids are still just very damn gimp. Even with 2k HP, 900ac - I get chain stunned by bats in Sol B and killed lol. This is the most money I've ever put in one toon, and he dies more than undergeared Necro, Shaman, Monk, Cleric.


The Manastone + Fungi + Fungi Staff + ES Greaves is actually most baller for powerlevelling. I pull 10 mobs, DS myself, back to corner with Fungi Staff click and cast ES greaves on myself while the lowbie melees down the train.

[Ravager]

I shared a Manastone on a Cleric and a Druid. Druid was more fun of the two, but the most fun was putting it on my Rogue cuz it's mostly about the vanity anyway.

[Cen]

Manastone best used on druid over cleric, but BEST used on wizard ;p

Epic wizard with nektulous staff = 0 HP 0 Mana full mana from anywhere in world even expansions

Druid = good regen after tapping, anywhere from world even expansions

Cleric = amazing but only in classic non planar/exp areas

Wiz can port to nek for free, then use epic/manastone to regen to full mana. No doubt the best manastone class. I'd put druids 2nd.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

https://wiki.project1999.com/Lost_Staff_of_the_Scorned . This is a free mana clickie to get back to the old world, for manastone use.
