As a support conjurer, the only spell in the whole Staff Mastery tree I had points in was Mana communion. Some conjurers are still using MC, and of course it is still useful as it stacks. However, I have scrapped the whole tree in favour of Enchantments at level 19. The four points from MC have gone into Mass dispel. If used at the right moment, it can disrupt a chain of nasty warlock areas and potentially save several players from an embarrassing death. I have Synergy bond at level 3 (400 mana) at the moment. As I am focusing on healing most of the time, I don't think it is good enough on level 2. If a player is asking for mana they have usually almost completely run out, and SB at level 2 would have to be cast more than once on the same player, which is a waste of precious seconds.
