56-58

Well I ground out all the vears and spiders last night it took around 2 hours to get everyone done. I did end up getting alot of high level leather that I will be needing down the road.

A question about the trinket.
Does mana stream stack with this? I know one character can't drop both but for the first 24 seconds do you get mana back from the trinket and the mana stream?

I wish I would have looked into this earlier I do find myself pulling 2 or three groups then having to stop to drink hopefully this will stop some of that.

Also Minty what kind of mac do you have and do you 5 box on it?

I'm pretty sure what happens is the Enamored Water Spirit will override the Mana Spring Totem if both are out among the characters. But as the trinket only lasts 24 seconds and the totem lasts two minutes, as soon as the better buff expires, the other will become active. Or at least that's what I took Boom's write-up to mean. I haven't tested this at all myself yet, as I've returned to do all the Redridge/Duskwood quests I skipped to get Stormwind rep up before I hit 60. I'll not keep riding those damn elephants...

And I'm not sure about leveling in the high 50s range with a group yet, still just shy of 55 myself while I do this rep thing and let my rest bonus build up. My plan though is to finish the Plaguelands quests and maybe some Winterspring and Silithus, but mostly to stick to instances until 60. It's been a long time since I've been in any of the old world 55-60 range instances. I'll enjoy spending a bit of time in each again.

As for my system, I 5-box on a mac pro, 2.8GHz 8-core, 10GB ram, nvidia 8800gt, two 24" widescreen lcds. I used to 5-box on a few revisions old macbook pro, with one 24" screen hooked up. The new system runs... much better.
