Just a quick list of possible avenues of mana regen during a raid.

Mana regen 1.

(For the Jewelcrafters) – Figurine – Dream Owl. I have this on constant cool down. Equipping provides +245 Intellect and clicking it gives 1425 Spirit for 20 seconds with a 2 minute CD.

A Heroic Blood of Isiset from Halls of Origination will also net you 1710 Spirit for 20 seconds, which is triggered by your healing spells. This means if you have this and the above Owl… well you get the idea A cheeky reforge to add some Spirit will make it go a little further still, or mitigate the Intellect loss by adding some Intellect instead.

Mana regen 2.

The Grand Daddy of priest regen. The old Shadowfiend + Hymn of Hope combo… guaranteed to restore 50k+ mana.

Mana regen 3.

Potion of Concentration. These things really are a must-have. Very easy to acquire given the mats needed to make them, and the 22k+ regen they provide will enable you to go the extra mile to cross the finish line in a pinch (the ‘taking a nap’ macro is a good idea, I think I’ll incorporate that myself).

Couldn’t agree more about Concentration pots. They are awesome!
I also like the challenge of finding good points to use them during new encounters

Send in the new Alchemist Stones! I am thinking BIS for some heroic fights…

I guess apparently other trinkets are overall more mp5 than the worth of a Concentration potion with Alchemist’s Stone, and it’s become more or less a tanking/pvp trinket with all the stam on it. Don’t get me wrong, though, I like being the healer with the most HP. Also, it makes Mysterious Potions pretty good, too, in situations where Concentration pots may not be as good, especially with the Alchemist buff for Mysterious pots (had one hit for 22k mana once).

Yup, people mentioned several times they don’t break on damage and you can break the effect whenever you like.

And it depends on your definition of “terrible”. Like all trinkets/gear, the stone can be situational. Reforging it to spirit, with a spirit gem, makes it an excellent starting trinket. I’ve used it less and less as we raid (currently 10/12 on 25s)and I receive better options and am not so dependent on potions. It’s not uncommon I’ll put this on while learning a fight however. It all comes down to evaluating what you need, and when.

Potion of Concentration ftw. Too bad Alchemist Stones are terrible in a raid environment, from what I understand. I would like to note, though, that unlike previous iterations of these, Potion of Concentration doesn’t break on damage.

It would take a lot to beat Grey ‘Goose Vodka’ :>

Great post! I will have to look into using this. How many alchemist are using their stones? I might have to start using it again.

Fyi, on Halfus when he does his big shockwave, it definitely interrupts Potion of Concentration.

I’ve also found that the final blue phase before phase 2 of Maloriak is a good time for a nap
