unless I'm missing a key mechanic specific to x9ery spirit doesn't have any benefit inside the 5 second rule unless I either take meditation or have spirit tap/improved spirit tap active. (neither of which I have: spirit tap is questionable because of how it will only give me mana after I'll need it, and meditation is out of reach.) in arena, I pretty much always will be in the 5 second rule. in battlegrounds, I'll be able to drink almost every time I'm not in it.
in short, wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh buff shadow ;'(
