guild went and did this event tonight, this shield dropped when the named popped. only had time to run through the cycle once, was do-able with three groups of 50+. only two clerics along, and both lower level so healers were running lom once the priest dropped, but drop he did. very nice item, but my question is - now that you know how silly this thing looks, would you still loot it? ;)

Flowing Thought 5 perhaps for or 3 even but FT 1 and 2 shouldnt be nerfed for how hard it is to get, weight, secondary only, other stuff has better mana wis etc best for cler then dru then shaman `nuff said.

Druids are already the best kiters in the game, and now they can get a shield that gives them flowing thought? methinks a lot of guards are going to die if a druid has their epic and this thing.
There are quite a few items with FT on them druids can get anyway. 7th Thurg Prayer Shawl for example.
As said below you wouldnt really notice the difference with FT1, 1 mana per tick of a 2K+ mana pool isnt much. Give me something with right click C2 ;)
Why would they nerf it? Thats only 1 extra mana per tick...Flowing Thought 1 regens 1 extra mana..Flowing Thought 2 does..you got it...2! and so on.. No reason to nerf it lol
But it's useful for clerics, since clerics are constantly medding, and mana regen is very slow without clarity or clarity II, and new self mana regen spell.
Shield drops off the named High Priest in Acrylia Caverns. You must have someone standing on the platform next to the room at all times to keep the cycle going. After I think it was the 3rd wave, either a named high priest, or an unnamed priest will spawn. The named high priest drops the good stuff, the unnamed high priest drops a lesser version of the item the named drops. Too bad this shield is no drop, bet I could get some nice plat for it, heh

Verant scowls at you ready to patch -- what would you like your tombstone to say? Verant has nerfed YOU for 32000 points of damage! LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

Hopefully there will be no strong gusts blowing or kiting will take on a whole new meaning with this shield. But if you get Gravity Fluxed you can always Parasail down!
