they’re like…100-150g on my server. Way over priced -.- which still isn’t much but I could buy nearly 2 stacks of flasks for that

also, to add to my post and answer the unasked question[that may or may not pop up] of my OS10 trinket choice is: I never got the healing trinket from toc25, I’m more of a 10man raider and when the trinket did drop I either lost the roll or had it ninja’d after having it ninja’d 4 or 5 times, I gave up and moved on to better trinkets.

How much are meta gems? On Cael they’re about 60g – hardly anything. I’d say give it a try with your usual gear – if you notice a difference and need the mana back, swap back to IED Keeva´s last blog ..Thinking of going druid in Cataclysm?

This post made my brain hurt I’ve been using the IED meta for a while and its treated me well.. But I’m at the point in my gear where I depend more on SP seeing as I’ve worked out my oom’ing issues. And if I find myself ooming on certain fights, I put my trinky from OS10 (Spirit on spell cast, stacking 10times) [replacing my abacus, and keeping purified lunar] and the idol that reduces the cost of rejuv on and that usually fixes my oom’ing problems. I dont really see the lunar trinket as a mana regen trinket, I got it for the spellpower and the spellpower only, though the extra mp5 on proc is yummy[i go overboard when its up :P]

What my debate is..wether or not to ditch that free 600 mana on proc and go for spellpower or just keep it and not waste gold on something I may not keep.

HALP?! D’:

[...] Meta Gem If you’re having mana issues, use the Insightful Earthsiege Diamond. If you’re not having mana issues, Ember Skyflare Diamond. You will probably want to read Tree Bark Jacket’s blog post on how this works vis-a-vis what your trinkets are. [...]

Thanks a great big lot for this post!

I started out writing a comment here writing why you were wrong. Rawr recommends the ESD after all. And then I looked at what I had written and it was just one big pile of nonsense. So instead I went back to check the Rawr source code and found that Rawr was actually bugged(!)

Thank you for writing this. I’ll have to say that I’m one of those druids who would’ve said I don’t go oom (except in weird cases like too many healers dead), but I suppose the spirit trinket MDF counts as a regen item. I still don’t think I’d give that up to a spellpower trinket (rethinking it, I do use it a lot in situations where I can get out of the fsr, stack it, and watch my mana come back (Mimiron being the strongest case)). But I never realized how much mana regen is on that meta. With the new epic gems, +25 sp is kinda lame anyway. Looking at it that way, I’d give up +25 sp for that much mp5. I think I’ll give it a try sometime. Thanks for writing.

Hmm thanks for this food for thought, Keeva. I didn’t used to have mana regen problems, but the patch-regen-changes have lead to me being close to OoM during some critical fights–taking pots, actually NEEDING my innervate, and sometimes even needing the feral’s innervate. Pre-patch, I honestly had no need for the regen, and that was with Illustration o.t. Dragon Soul equipped.

I’ll go give the IED a whirl. I hate having to use the Binding Stone’s click-use.
