It does stack, and if somehow its broke on you specificly where it ends up not stacking...we are getting a respec next week. <div></div>

<div></div>This question was asked in the Beta forums, and a Dev responded that all trait choices stacked. I took both of them.  (+10) I have Battlement of the Mind (+7), Prismatic Glow (+12) and Flowing Thought V (+5). I have natural regen as normal for my level (+5). I have a Manastone.  (+12) All of those give me a total in combat regen of +51.  Having an Enchanter or Bard in the group gives me even more. I rarely have power issues unless we are chain pulling with a designated puller who is not the MT. I realize that many people do not have those kinds of resources at their disposal, but it is not out of the realm of possibility for folks to get close.  A person with only modest guild resources at their disposal can get to +32 at L50 with relatively little difficulty.  A person with some luck could get RoI for +7 and be really really close to what I had to raid 5 months to get.<p>Message Edited by Banditman on <span class=date_text>09-16-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:48 PM</span>

Manastone gives + to power regen now?  I havent inspected mine, just accepted it as mostly the same when I clicked it and got the health to mana transfer.  <div></div>

Manastone returns 120 power when used, and can be used every 60 seconds, which comes to +12 per tick. I have a bell set up in my parser that tells rings 60 seconds after I use mine so I know immediately when it's time to hit it. Believe me, my Manastone earns it's keep.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Ah, alright, that makes sense.  And even better...it doesnt count on your cap of max power regen. <div></div>

Keep that to yourself though.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />
