Argh, just help.

Okay so I remade my lvl 75 meteorb/mf sorc like everyone told me to ( http://www.rpgforums.net/showthread.php?t=270278 ); and I'm having some issues. As of now, It's a very similar build, I've put almost enough dex already for lvl 99 max block (it should hold me until about lvl 90-92) I'm investing a majority of my points in vitality now that I've got a hold on strength and dexterity. Although, now that I can tank like a champ, I'm having another issue. I can't wear most of my mf stuff!!! I have base mana, and when I switch to my mf gear, I hardly have enough to teleport across the [email protected]$%! room! This is a breakdown of my gear.

Equipment:
Wpn:Occy/Wizspike | Storage:Gull
Sheild:StormSheild(Um)/Lidless
Gloves:Frostburns | Storage: Chance Guards
Belt:Tal Rasha
Boots:War Travs
Rings:Sojs (2) | Storage: Nagels (2)/Dwarf Star and Raven Frost
Armor:Tal's Guardianship | Storage:Skulders(Ptopaz)/Vipermagi
Helm: Shako (Ptopaz)
Amulet: Tal's Ammy
Got Anni small charm

I don't know how I'm going to MF now... help!

I reccommend for the Max Block Meteorb to use a Full Tal's set up. I know that this might not help too much but I have never tried to make a MF sorc with the high uniques. I've always used Tal's and I have never had any problems. The Tal's Set balances mana/resists/+skills with MF and surviveability. My reccommendation is to trade your uniques for Tal's. This is my current set up:
Tal's Helm Soc w/Ptopaz
Tal's Armor Soc w/Ptopaz
Tal's Orb Soc w/Ist
Tal's Belt
Tal's Ammy
Stormshield Soc w/-15% Req +Resist Jewel
Chancies
War Travs
2 FCR Rings w/MF, Resist, Dex
Anni
Gheeds
Gull + Rhyme for switch
I am getting +7 to Skills w/+2 to Masteries, almost perfect resists in hell and about 400 MF before switch and over 500 after. I rarely ever die and I got plenty of skill points for Vitality. Try it out if you have time, or maybe someone else can help you with using the equip you have. Good luck.

I don't see how you can lack mana with shako, Tal's armor, belt and ammy and Wizard Spike. Would you mind listing your mana in this setup? If you're really lacking, switch one of the Nagels for a SoJ. If you need to drink a blue or two on the way, it's no big deal.

A few charms that add mana will go along way also. A small charm maxes out at 17 mana but you can have a grand charm that gives up to 59 mana and it can have an other mod on it as well (+50 to life for instance).

Forget about Nagels and Chancies.
You already have enough MF without those!!!!!
Get a pair of Magefists to reach the 63% FCR breakpoint.

Switch Wizzy/Lidless for Gull/Rhyme and use that on switch to kill bosses.

If you are running pits just dont use your switch and thats it.

Ditch those Chancies and Nagel's. They are only of use if you sport a build that does not rely too much on mana or has some elite runewords gear!

Besides that, there's always mana potions and you won't have to drink tons of those.,but just one once in a while when the mana bulb goes down.

Between your partial setup using SS with Chancies and 2x Nagels is missing the 63% FCR breakpoint! Not good at all. This is also a reason why you have problems teleporting.

Get Magefists!!!! or some FCR Rings, but do something to reach that breakpoint with or without your additional MF Gear!
