Mind that once Kunark (and Velious) release, it's only really all that useful for wizards and druids who can port back to the old world and manastone up to full mana. The item itself is only usable in the game's original zones, so if you're a class without ports, you'd only be able to benefit from it when you're back in the old world. Long story short, it's primarily a druid/wizard item. Classes that can't easily move back and forth between the old world and Kunark/Velious get very little out of the item unless you're deliberately camping something in LGuk or SolB or something like that.
Mostly true.

It's definitely a wiz/dru item primarily in Kunark/Velious. However, you can go level 1-55 in old world easily. Great item for necro. You have lure-like DD (lifetaps) that have better mana/dmg ratio than wizards due to manasstone+lifetap heal combo.

Manastone is mostly about efficiency and so it shines most when you're levelling (or a druid/wiz that can port old world). Old world mobs are typically weaker (lower ac/hp) and with Kunark/Velious gear there's a definite mismatch.

With the ZEM zones (and that may change) of paw and CT in place, I could see a caster levelling in old world with The Manastone.
