FYI, us "casters", necros, have our own version of clarity. Have you ever heard of a necro shouting for a clarity anywhere? Besides, its an item for a quest and the reward for the quest is much nicer than the scepter.
I have an enchanter (30), and a necro (14). Necros dark pact series of self mana regeneration is better than clarity. Maybe clarity 2 would be better than the dark pact variant when you can obtain this item, but i dont think so.
yes, the necro line of spells that are better than clarity are bugged.. but they aren't going to fix them. They screwed them up when they switched the spell effects for pvp, but probably felt sorry for the necros that were left playing because they had already nerfed them into stupidity.

The most convincing arguement for the existance of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that they haven't made contact with us.
1. Clarity 2 is nice to have in reserve when you find your self in that rare situation with nothing to drain for health and hurtin. Makes recovery from total depletion (just shy of death) that much easier. not a bad item to carry just in case. Unfortunately, it does not have that effect. 2. The necro line of mana conversion spells are all equal or better then their equivilant breeze line spells of the same spell level. When you get to Lich it is no competition. 3. Clickables always rock -- especially one you may have found on the ground. 4. They nerfed us necros because there were too many loopholes for them to exploit in the past and they just didn't know when to stop. We had all but become the druid of the intelligence casters before Luclin came out. Now we find ourselves a little better off with a wider variety of spells - including the new group tap line.
