Question - Workaround for Azure Crystal Nerf

[eqgeek]

So with the patch that was thrown out today, it looks like the days of endless mana and enchanter tanking is going to take a bit hit unless we can figure out a way around the Azure Mind Crystal's now having a 5 minute recast timer. Is there any viable option for this now?

Really sucks... I only found out about this a few weeks ago. Late to the party on this one so I won't miss it too much but it was nice. Really the only alternative I know of now is to do the much-more-tedious Echoing Madness/Eyeball with Mana Draw repeatedly or Staunch.

I'd like to maybe write a mac to handle that. It would be easier to get the timing right and use it specifically for mana draw. I can't see any other way around this. Right now my Azure crystal takes more mana than it gives me.
