xy% mana stolen per hit? (newbie question)

hi!

i'm quite new to the game (2 weeks) and started a frozen sorc yesterday. and that's why the following questions might sound a lil bit noobish.

if my gear has "xy% mana/life stolen per hit" does this only effect the hit with the weapon or does the mana leech also take effect with spells? and if it only effects the hit with the weapon, how can i get mana back? only through "+xy mana after each kill" and "regenerate mana +xy%" gear (and potions, of course)?

and what about "adds x-y fire/lightning/cold/poison damage" like on severals charms? is this damage only added to hits with the weapon or also to spell damage?

thanx.

you only leech with the physical damage u do, so no spells/curses :)
& there are 3 good ways to get your mana back :
- mana regen (magefists are good option here & warmth :p)
- mana after kill (lidless is a good option)
- mana potions

mana regen is most important part cause if u dont kill u wont get mana back from 2nd way :)

the % mana/life leech is indeed only taken into effect when doing physical damage, ie with bows or swords and what have you. And in the beginning with your sorc you will indeed be drinking those mana potions like mad :drink: Your amount of regenerated mana / second is based on the amount of mana you have (and of course faster regeneration ), so having more mana will also increase the regeneration rate. Elemental damage from charms will only effect the damage you do with your weapon, so it's no use stacking up those when using a caster-based sorc.

ah damn, you beat me to it :hanky:
