The point of these potions is not to get all of your mana back and yes mod rods will get you back mana faster, and yes shamans have canni 4 and 5 and yes theres VoQ and on and on.......BUT canni 4 has a cast of 2.5 mod rods have a reuse of 3 or 4 minutes I believe, and canni 5 has a reuse of 3 minutes. Read the spell effect this is instant. Kinda close to the effect of a mana stone no? If you are in a jam and need to throw a heal, say on a raid or something, or whenever you just want some mana, go to town on these=b might not be cost effective but you can throw a ten dose down faster then a pig at a redneck bar b que. thats 1800 hp lost granted but 800 mana gained, thats what spot healers are for=b Also I have talked to a lot of necs who say they would trade SoS for canni 4 and 5, heres your shot if only for a little while. Ah well, I like em, guess thats all that really matters. See you around the planes.
