Mana problems for bone necro

Just made a full block full DR bone necro. I got 2 dual stat fcr rings both of which dont have mana on them. My mana pool is less than 500 after bo and it sucks i dont like having to constantly be pressing mana poitions in duels(once in a while is ok).

So do i bite the bullet get some mana fcr rings and put ~70 more stats into str/dex or someone got a better idea?

charms? you can get mana/life charms to supplement your lack of mana. It may mean going without a skiller, but you'll have more mana.

Hello,

2 x Stones of Jordan + Frostburn Unique Gauntlets. This combination of items will go a long way toward curing your mana woes (+90% to maximum mana).

Frosties definitely make a huge impact instantly. You can get bahamut rings with over 100 to mana too, but they aren't that much fun to wear because they eliminate so many other good possibilities in that slot.

Rather than going for costly stuff like SoJ's, consider this:

1. Manald Heal rings
2. Frostburns
3. Ring with 100+ mana
4. Last, but the most important: Any item with +4 or +5 mana after each kill (Lidless shield for example).

I think that the best ring combo is SoJ and a 100+ mana magic ring (or a 8x mana rare if you need the other mods). Raises mana pool significantly.

ive found that if u do not have soj's lying around that a ravenfrost works rather well. +40 to mana and CBF. also 20% cold absorb helps a lot if your resists are low.

I CANT USE SOJ WITHOUT LOSING 125 FCR! That said i got some 10fcr 120 mana rings. They're nice but i lose str for stormshield and dex for max block so I only use them with my caster setup. Should I invest the 70 ish pts to be able to have decent mana pool with SS or just look for some mana small charms?

 

[knuckle]

Wizard's spike works wonders. It provides alot of fcr freeing up a ring slot for an Soj too!

Psapphires add mana as well if you socket them into your helm.

Another option that EVERYONE overlooks is socketing a PSkull into your helm and armor (+5 replenish life, 19% mana regen).

I had a Bonemancer setup using:
Wizardspike w/ -15%req, +9energy, +9mana jewel
Peasent Crown w/ PSkull (regen/replenish anyone?)
Vipermagi w/ PSkull (regen/replenish anyone?)
2x Manald Heal (regen/replenish anyone?)
Homunculus w/ Eth (regen/resist anyone?)
Magefist (regen/FCR)
and a rare amulet with +2 Bone/+2 Nec/10% FCR/Resists

**edit: It's always best to look for endurance/stamina over KERPLOWBOOMYDEATHOMGGIBZ!

The easy solution is to get insight for your act 2 merc. It will solve your mana probs. especially if you get a high level of meditation. A larger mana pool will help also. The 40+ mana gcs help out along with other gear that will increase the size of your mana pool.

 

[nicro tower]

i think mercs are kinda bm in duels...

 

[DIEnamic]

he never said it was specifically for dueling.

 

[Ed from Russia]

- Find a ring with mana
- Get an amulet with 20% FCR (or 15% if that's enough for you) and lose one ring
- Frostburn and Silk Weave
- Insight on switch?

 

[struikje]

Don't shoot me, but how about putting 50 in energy and keeping your stat rings, It would be a better choice then switching your rings. You still have 20 stat points to put in vita .

chug blues, all pvp boners do. I have 700+ mana and use 2-3 blues during an average 1 on 1 duel. Try to get fcr ring w mana on it. I have one with 69 mana on it and a fcr ammy with 11 mana, those are the only extra sources of mana on me. Do you use wizzy?
