Manastone has to be the single most overpriced item in the game.
I have never seen anyone using it regularly. Mostly camped click clerics in MM who stone up some mana after HB'ing their alt's group (mostly for showing off obviously).
The tales of clerics soloing Guk with the stone are tales. It's painfully slow and duoing with a halfway decent enchanter is at least 10x the exp, 20x the fun, and costs nothing.
100% status symbol, an expensive one for sure.
Can someone chime in about actual real world (sic) uses of the stone that don't suck and give an actual advantage? I'd love to use it for something else than just occasionally stare at it and think "LOL it looks pretty".
FWIW on EZ server, everyone had a manastone. It was used to break roots on yourself (DD breaks root even if you nuke yourself). But HP pools there are larger so the 60hp DD is nothing.
