BvB Mana Problems?

Yes, you have 234525123525245 def, ar, and enough open wounds to make a ww sin cry....

but how do you sustain your mana? My BvBer has only like 200 mana or so. This leaves me spending most of my time concing while a tweaker can whirl. Suggestions?

rebuild nub!

or list your gear, no dmg to mana? what is flexible? what can be done to improve your mana? need to know what you've got so lay it out on the table

I won't question your whirling technique, with only 200 mana I have to assume you aren't just holding down right click, so something with equipment needs fixin eh?

dont think garb will like using a hacked charm. 100% legit goat coat here.

if manaproblems pain your b v b duels you can always substitute some of your max ar lifers for lifer manas. i mean sure youll end up doing less damage than the opponent but when he runs outta mana to ww with, i think you'll be the lat one laughing.

You may Dislike my answer, but it is what most serious pvp'ers do.
1-2x 15/70's + mana pots.
You may Dislike my asnwer, but it is what most "serious pvp'ers do".

Take some programming classes and create yourself some "ith" items + god mode.

An ith in place of an ed jewel in arreats,if you kill by ow & not by raw damage.

Yeah, angelics 20% and an ith somewhere to make up for the 15% you don't get from enigma. Or, mana pots. Almost all enigma barbs can magically tele+ww as long as they want, while my sorc her 600 mana is at 0, even with lvl 22 warmth. If you don't want to pot, then Ith or some mana charms is the only thing you can do unfortunately. And ofcourse using ww with care, but that's rather basic stuf.

Well, its more of an experiment than anything. Its also observation. As some of you know, my tweaker beats a lot of bvbers. A lot of them have far higher def/ar/ow/etc and were played by experienced duelers, etc.

I would like to believe its my skill as a dueler, but more realistically I think the difference is mana pool (my hypotherical bvber has ~200 mana, my tweaker is at like 600 or so). Just curious how bvbers deal with this.

The gear would be:

ebotdz
storm ed/str
guilg ed/str
eth ark valor
angleics
verd
gore
dracs

This setup gives more physical dmg than a edc setup (check the numbers), can gear up with base str (giving me relatively high life for a bvb), has decent ar/def, and has decent ow and cb. The biggest problem is mana as far as I see. The flexibility is anything at this point as the build isn't made, but if I trade out the jewels for iths I lose a lot of dmg (and have to put points in base str).

Thanks everyone for the input, but please limit them to realistic options. I won't be hacking, using dupes, potting, or other bm things.
