mana leech would solve the mana problem since with discharge you don't cast unless there are mobs to hit and you'd regen the full mana amount back in 1 hit since the damage:mana ratio is very good

There is a hard cap to how much mana you may leech.
If memory serves it is set to 12% of your own mana pool per second.

thats the rate of recovery tho, not the cap on mana leech itself. The mana leech support with full quality raises it to 14%

there is no vaal pact version of mana, so in a way ... yeah having too much mana leech is overkill, but not because of a cap on mana leech itself. Because of the recovery rate per second.

So you can leech as much mana as you want, the only thing that changes is that you will always leech back 12-14% of your max mana pool per second, but the effect can take 3 seconds or it can take 10 seconds.

To see how much mana leech / dps you'd need, I would go backwards and calculate using ((100/leech x max mana / 8.33 = dps))
